Soleil ت Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We are appliCANs! Take a deep breath, appliCANs. We've made it to February in one (or perhaps just a few) pieces. Congratulations to all the appliCANs! You're experiencing something many people dread and ultimately avoid out of fear and anxiety. No matter what happens, we've already done the hardest part! Woohoo! AppliCANs of 2013, rah rah rah! ♥ courtc8891, Ezzy, Mecasickle and 13 others 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiroshiman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 OK this is super cheesy, but I love it nonetheless. Mecasickle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wemayet Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hahaha. This is ultra-cheese, but I smiled big. The difference between that smile and other smiles is that most of my smiles recently have been from people making funny word play about how miserable their lives are right now. But Michelle has given us something to smile about that is completely based in positive thinking. Thanks Michelle!

VBD Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Someone once told me that the power of positive thinking is an unmatched universal force. You wield great power Michelle. Thank you for the cheer and using it for good Edited February 2, 2013 by VBD Soleil ت 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoodness Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 So what happens if one gets rejected across the board and wake up to nothing? Post-application distress will hit some of us and I doubt that taking the first step, applying, is the hardest one. Sorry for falling for the grinch-trap but I hate anything that reminds me of Gilmore Girls and this sure did... Smiling yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 OK this is super cheesy, but I love it nonetheless. Yes, cheesy as heck, but I like the positivity.

Sorry for falling for the grinch-trap but I hate anything that reminds me of Gilmore Girls and this sure did... Smiling yuck I'm not convinced I won't be denied across the board. The difference between me and you is that I won't let it ruin my positive attitude and I sure won't make it another person's problem. I'll try again, harder the second time and with the same positive outlook. Quigley, dat_nerd and tifmonster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdYouKateOr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ_R-G_i4Xk'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ_R-G_i4Xk As a big fan of Gilmore Girls AND SNL (thanks for the Debbie Downer vid), I would say that hopefully the fact that we're all applying to grad school means we have a good bit of intelligence and common sense. We have to know that there is a possibility of not getting in and having another plan ready for that outcome. However, in the meantime Dream Big and Pray Hard! It is, after all, something we want badly or we wouldn't have subjected ourselves to writing SOPs, bothering LORs, or taking the dreaded GRE (let's not mention all the costs)! Think positive! Here's to believing that we will all get what we expect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBD Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 A rejection across the board doesn't mean that you are a horrible, bad student/person/whatever. It just means that those schools didn't have funding, good fit, etc, so many other things than you personally come into play. Rejection across the board just means that now you get to carve your own unique path to grad school, and hey, things happen for a reason, and sometimes have a tendency to work themselves out. You can still stay an applican xD *gives a cookie to Ohgoodness* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
