Personally, I plan to watch this video every morning for the next few weeks (or until all of my decisions are in).

Bumping. Because some of you need some support.

You said it. We're all in need of support... especially those of us with no acceptances! 

 

But then again, as Virginia Woolf said, "Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy." Take it as you will.

I know I missed Valentine's Day, but I'd like to send all of those awaiting acceptance news some cheery Puritan valentines. (also, let me say, compared to other message boards I post on, gradcafe has by far the easiest method of inserting images into a post):

[It's (Not) About Me]

Oh, oh! This is my favorite song in the category of "Cheesy 80's song by one of my all-time favorite artists that is full of encouraging words but is also basically about suicide but you'd never know it because it's so damn catchy!"

http://youtu.be/YhxjNYvJbgM

 

"Just like a boxer in a title fight,

You got to walk in that ring all alone.

You're not the only one who's made mistakes,

But they're the only thing that you can truly call your own."

 

Although, haiii, the video makes it very explicit that the song is about suicide. Oh well. I LURVE IT.

[It's (Not) About Me]

Ps. I have a YouTube playlist called "Shit Happens" that I listened to throughout the latter half of my applications, and it is just FULL of gems like this one.

I'm really freaking out. I already want to know what I'm going to do in the next few years!

I feel you. But repeat after me:

"I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)!"

[FlamingoLingo]

Here's another very peppy song!

This is probably the best topic. 

 

Just finished an interview with CUNY=I am freaking out, reliving the terrible experience in my head.
