Hey, if you all want, I can share (via google) my spreadsheet that I used to keep track of all the colleges I wanted to apply to. A sample of things on the spreadsheets include: Deadlines, professors I’d want to work with, local apartments costs compared to stipends, SOP requirements, manuscript requirements. All that jazz. If anyone wants it, DM me and I’ll send you the link.

Saaaame haha.

Also, I am definitely freaking out. I'm realizing that while I'll be pretty devastated if I don't get into a program, that the root of the issue is that I hate my job and was really hoping to move someplace new with a clear and defined purpose. 

Hard same.

I'm right there with ya. I'm not super happy with what I'm doing career wise... I want to run away elsewhere and be a writer. That is all. Even if we don't get in anywhere, I hope our situations still change for the better. Or if we end up in the same program, we can smoke together :') ❤️

I’m not high, but I’m stoned adjacent because my roommate is high lol. 

[funfettuccine]

I think what’s really killing me is the crumb of possibility that came with being waitlisted. Like OK, cool, somebody likes my work and that rules, but am I gonna get to move and do school stuff? I just wanna KNOW.

If only I could. Weed would fuck up my schizooaffective disorder. I don’t need to feel/see centipedes crawling up my legs. I’m fine without that.

Omg literally NO ONE needs to feel or see that. You’re making the right choice. You should just eat a regular brownie instead.

tfw it's Friday at 4pm and there are two hours left of the work week for schools to send out email notifications.

I also have auditory and olfactory hallucinations when my meds don’t work, so who knows how fucked up weed would make me. At least I don’t hallucinate tastes.

Some schools send out notifications away later than that, especially if they’re under pressure to get replies out soon.

^Exact same thought process here, was hoping this would be the next step and a way out of my current rut

oh no.... I'm not ready for this 

[rcsteel]

Saw a VCU waitlist on Draft but never saw any acceptances. Maybe they told people to be hush about it. Anyone else hear from them?

[Ydrl]

My impatience went away for a bit, but now it’s back. I just want to know where I’m going and what the funding situation is.
