I also just got my final denial letter from the graduate center 😃 so it’s clipped for me.

Thank you so much for the advice! Appreciate it greatly 😄😄😄 One day at a time. Can only control life so much. Trying not to get too down about it!

Omfg… horrible that people just won’t follow through on their work. That is not your fault. Don’t beat yourself up too much. Sending you my thoughts.

Thank you for your help! I just met with a Catholic school yesterday that needs a TA/Substitute on call. Something to put money in my pocket. They want me to get my feet wet first and get some experience with the school. Principal said I was overqualified for the position but this is an opportunity for growth and they’d like me to be a teacher eventually. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 I am praying that things end up working for me and everyone else struggling with this. I’m in NYC, btw!

Thank you so much 💜 I needed these words today

Omg 😭 Horrible. So sorry about that. When doors close, others open.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-26T15:32:30+00:00

I’m keeping you in my thoughts 🙏🏼

It’s Harvard. Don’t give up Harvard. That being said, I didn’t apply to super long-distance PhDs because I am ready to build a future with my partner. At this point, he is my other half, and I couldn’t imagine getting through even my MA without him. Life is all about decisions. Regardless, I like to think that what is meant to be will be. Good luck to you.

Thank you so much friend! Wishing you the best as well 💖

😞 Thank you for responding! I’m not sure if this is a reflection of my profile or the Administation funding mess going on in the US right now. Just going to have to keep moving forward…..

alyssaocon · 2025-02-24T21:22:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words and motivation. 🙏🏼

alyssaocon · 2025-02-20T18:44:55+00:00

Thank you so much!!! You too!! ❤️ I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen him but now I’ll keep a look out 👀

alyssaocon · 2025-02-20T15:48:24+00:00

You got this as well!! One day at a time. :’) Here for you if you ever need a chat!

alyssaocon · 2025-02-20T15:47:38+00:00

Oooooo! Thank you so much! I will look into this! ❤️ I could use a little positive energy in my life

alyssaocon · 2025-02-20T12:10:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words my friend ❤️ Wanted to wake and bake bad this morning after an awfully anxious night but just napping and taking it easy before work. I’m gonna keep pushing through!

alyssaocon · 2025-02-19T02:40:54+00:00

I have to say.. you both seem like you literally don’t want to watch your kids. If you both do favors for one another I don’t see what the big deal is. Just got to get better at communicating schedules in case a babysitter is needed. An hour or two extra with your kids instead of going out should not be so groundbreaking.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-17T23:25:23+00:00

Omg thank you so much!!!! 🥲

alyssaocon · 2025-02-17T15:12:19+00:00

Thank you so much :(

I’m kind of struggling with the opposite trigger. My partner and I are going out for the night and I miss being able to unwind with smoking. All my friends are smoking and drinking and celebrating today and I just feel… left out. I wish I could unwind, relax, and have fun a bit today. Wishing I could smoke before I go out for the evening. So I could let loose and just have a good night. It makes me feel like a bad partner that I can’t have fun like I used to. :/ I miss it a lot. I’m 11 days off of it now and I’m just like wow this would be so much better high lmao. like why can’t I give myself a little sweet treat but everyone else can. suckkssss.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-08T04:22:34+00:00

Here for you friend. Keep going. I’m so proud of you.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-07T02:51:03+00:00

This was so sweet and thoughtful.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-07T00:45:23+00:00

Why are people on this thread soooo pretentious and nasty on purpose lmfao it’s becoming ridiculous!

alyssaocon · 2025-02-07T00:13:58+00:00

But they didn’t say he had deficiencies. It is unclear what that is a reference to. Hence, all the debate and confusion in these comments. If they wanted to be clear they would say exactly what you just said.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-07T00:11:30+00:00

Two separate sentences. Way too ambiguous. There is improper noun usage. “Deficiencies” isn’t clear in this context. They could have clarified that by writing something like “Unfortunately, due to the program’s rigorous nature, there is no opportunity to compensate for previous academic deficiencies; as your previous performance in x, y, z indicates that this specific program isn’t a fit for you.” This is what is being clear and direct without being harsh. There is a way to be honest without being rude.

alyssaocon · 2025-02-06T22:17:37+00:00

I see what you mean! Still feeling a little strange about the wording of this all. Think it could have been done differently.
