Hello everyone!
I'm a longtime lurker who finally caved to the siren call of the Grad Cafe-- against the judgment of everyone I know, who seem to think this place only adds to my stress and despondency. But we all know that's crazy, because how can we feel any worse than we do?! I've already started thinking about how I'm going to tell my professors/family/friends I was rejected from everywhere and that hasn't even happened yet. I've also started to plan on Rejection Party, but I haven't gotten past the question of what liquor I should drink yet. People have also starting ask me if drinking really is the best way to cope with this process (the answer is a resounding "yes").
Yep. That's my situation. Hello fellow applicants! It's nice to meet you all officially.
