I didn't get accepted to the college of my dreams today, the stress of life is eating me alive, my friends called me fake.,,,

HELP PLEASE.

Don't worry. Go to your second best. It's always easier to transfer anyway.

Apply and get accepted to U Hawaii, ditch the lame friends, and spend the next four years earning a degree in hammock occupation with a minor in surfing.

Relax. Spend a year or two doing something you would never have dreamed of doing otherwise, and then reapply or apply elsewhere. It is not the end of the world. I have been through it myself, and ended up studying something totally unexpected in the end and loving it.

And my twin brother got accepted to my dream college.

Sometimes things happen for reasons that are totally beyond our comprehension. I’m a very firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Just try to relax, just because your twin has gotten excepted into your dream college and you hadn’t doesn’t mean that it is the end of your life, as you know it. Maybe this is a start for you to gain your own identity. Don’t let this blow you down, face it head on and make the best of it.

I didn't get into the secondary school I wanted to do, after constantly improving my grades from B+s to A-s to As, and doing the school play, news paper, band, and being on the student council. While I saw this other kid I know who gets like Ds and does almost no extra-curriculars get in because his dad works at the hospital affiliated with the school, and while everyone african american kid, who all are about the same type of student as me, get into all the schools they picked.

So, yeah, it's a tough process, or atleast I know it is from prep schools. But hey, I guess life goes on. You can't get to worked up about the present, when there's an entire future waiting for you.

My older brother did that and got dis-owned. And my twin brother got accepted to my dream college.

"Dis-owned"?? :shock:

Really? :?

*sigh*

Freinds ???

reconsider that one for a start

i got into the school of my dreams, and it didn't turn out the way i planned (or hoped). sometimes the future surprises you...it won't help you feel any better right now, but i think you will look back and realize that life has this crazy way of going on and changing in ways you never would have predicted.

Damnit! Why didn't I think of that?

The same happened to me, I applied to one college and didn't get in but I was made an offer by another college, when the exams came round I made the grades so I started there last October, turns out the college I'm in now is even more the college of my dreams than the place I first applied to, the people are amazing, the surroundings are beautiful and since starting there I've found Christianity, so my life is really on the up!

All I'm trying to say is, as Sozo pointed out there is a reason for everything so chin up mate, you never know what's around the next corner! :D
