The worst rejection courtesy of ASU:
Email subject: "ASU Deny Letter." From a "Do Not Reply Address."
At least I didn't have to open the email to know what the decision was. Beats me, the other university in that state thought I was worthy.
Definitely "Defying Gravity" by Wicked!
"To those who ground me, take a message back from me. Tell them hello, I am Defying Gravity. I'm flying high, Defying Gravity!"
I was in the TA office, telling my friends how much I sucked at life since I had received two rejections that morning. I was telling them there was just no hope for me, when all of the sudden my phone beeps and a message pops up saying "Good News!" I couldn't believe it, one of my top choices! I checked the email and couldn't read past the first sentence. I started crying and laughing in front of my fellow TAs. The next few minutes were spent calling pretty much everyone. I was speechless for the rest of the day pretty much.

I also graduated in 3 years from college, at the age of 20. My mentor freaked out when he found out I am 22 and about to finish my MA. He said I was a baby, but that I was intellectually old enough for grad school.

Mr. Shaggy, Shaggers, Shag, etc, etc.
I adopted Shaggy a year and a half ago, after I bought a puppy who died 2 weeks later. Shaggy has brightened my life in so many ways. He is such a faithful companion, he is here next to me, watching me procrastinate. Shaggy has seen me stress out, panic, cry, but he always manages to put a smile on my face!
