C'est bien dit! Thanx for encouragement! You have a positive energy and it will make your go far in this life. 

 

Merci pour les mots sympas !

these are the positive vibes i totally needed!

 

i think my favorite part of this thread is that my office computer seems to be struggling with the fonts, so everything changes to comic sans.. normally, it'd make me cringe, but now i can't help but crack a smile at the utterly unabashed fluffiness and cheesiness! i feel like this thread would benefit strongly from some "blingees" of unicorns or lisa frank stickers. nothing says "go get 'em tiger!" like a fuzzy sticker of a rainbow-spotted cheetah hanging out with a hot pink dolphin.

Good to see some positive energy flowing, considering the anxiety and edginess that most people on this site are experiencing.  Making it this far is an accomplishment in itself.  While staying optimistic is easier said than done, take comfort in knowing this process is nearing an end in the next month or so.  We've all worked so hard for this and I hope you all get into your dream programs this year.

 

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.

 

Very well said. There is always another opportunity to make your application stronger and gain experience so that you can give it another shot. There will be a lot of devastated people who don't get any acceptances this year, but what will separate them is how they cope with the disappointment and their persistence in realizing their goals.

Oh... in that case let's assume I have no idea what I'm talking about.

And you wouldn't be the only one... I pretty much always have at least 3 gradcafe tabs open at all times on my home laptop, work computer, and phone.  Including shortcuts on my phone's home screen to the results board and to the political science forum.  I'm not really sure yet how I'm going to occupy every waking moment come April 15th.  Maybe I'll need to get a life or something.

LOL @ everybody.  Yes, the comic sans is intentional.  I'm a frou-frou kind of person, I guess. but thanks for all the kind words.  I am totally amping myself up for what's in store!  I have yet to hear anything, but I'm trying to stay super positive, no matter what happens.  Also, yay for Lisa Frank stickers.  I had Lisa Frank everything.  That was probably the catalyst for the frou-frou stuff.
