So I had this life revelation today driving home from my sister’s house

That no matter what happens with my college applications, it doesn’t define me. It doesn’t change absolutely anything. I don’t need a piece of paper to tell me that i’m good at something by their standards. If I get accepted, I’ll scream a scream that is heard across all 7 continents. It gives me a chance to move out of my house and live across the country on my own and start over. Ideally. But life doesn’t happen ideally and i’m prepared to receive rejection letters. I understand that what I want to do in life I will hear no thousands of times more than i’ll hear a yes or even maybe.

But i’m not letting college define me because there’s more to life than it. And what I want out of life is experience more than anything else. So if those rejection letters come in, I’m packing up my shit, getting a shitty apartment in manhattan and taking every class possible at ucb and the pitt.

Pretty much no matter what life throws at me i’m not letting it slow me down. You just have to roll with the punches and keep going.
