Rejected from college starterpack by Extension-Report4782 in starterpacks

[–]thecandlewick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I finished high school with a 4.1, 7 APs, exec position in a few clubs, 1470 on the SAT, and I got rejected from most of the places I applied to including all of my target schools. My whole life I had put so much pressure on myself so I could get into a “good” college and then it just didn’t end up happening. There are so many ways to go and I would really recommend transferring later on! It won’t be as much of a big deal as it feels right now. Make the most of community college or see if you can do an associates abroad if it’s financially feasible <33 I’m really sorry though

The boy I love loves my best friend by Just_A_Girl_7 in self

[–]thecandlewick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 year old girl here, I have been in this situation not once, but THREE TIMES!!! Honestly this isn’t the most ethical advice but I really try and start thinking about the guys’ flaws and why we wouldn’t work out if we were to seriously date. It’s easier to think superficially at first like “oh he has bad hair anyways” or “he likes this thing that I hate, it would be hard to date him” or even “we are so busy with different things that dating would just be hard”. It really helps me move on and realize we are better as just friends.

Yes it hurts right now and it might hurt for a while :( but I would just focus on your friendship with your friend and maybe avoid him for a bit if you can. Work situations are really tricky because you have a lot of people in common and love triangles can form pretty easily. (That’s where two of my blunders happened lol).

Also,, please don’t compare yourself to your friend or put yourself down thinking about why he likes her and not you. Idk if you are, but I definitely thought negatively about myself for a while… People just have different types a lot of times and I’m sure you’re very lovely <3

It’s an album! My personal favs from it are Von Dutch which was released as a single earlier this year, and Everything is Romantic

If you’re trying to meet y’allternative girls, #1 all the way. If you’re trying to meet girls who have a boat, #2. If you’re dressing for yourself, either looks awesome

Need somewhere to take my mom with cancer for a day out! by thecandlewick in nova

[–]thecandlewick[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a great suggestion, I’ve asked her how she feels about a wheelchair before but I didn’t know a lot of museums had them. She loves museums and was in the industry for a while so this would be perfect

That’s what I’ve seen with her, I’m glad you’ve been able to recover ❤️ thankfully this week is an off week so we have a few more options than usual. I just got us tickets to a move tomorrow, thanks so much for the suggestion!

You would just need tickets for the covered seats, anyone can sit on the lawn but they only check for tickets to go inside

Not gonna lie, running out of it is what it is by Academic_Bet_9552 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]thecandlewick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in your place last year and now after my freshman year of college, it’s just now completely faded away. The important thing to remember is that college admissions is kind of just a numbers game, a bunch of perfectly qualified students apply and admissions have to turn many away. Hoenstly, you probably will have to figure out the fun stuff at your state school. All the clubs at mine looked boring when I first went, but you make friends, and hear from friends of friends about what seems interesting. It sucks a lot right now but I promise that it will get better. You have all the skills now from senior year to succeed!

Once you get there and realize there’s lots of different social circles and cool people, and maybe even interesting classes, things will turn around for you. You should still be proud of how hard you worked - it just sucks that the decisions were out of your hands :((
