I turned twenty today, and I feel like my life is going nowhere. I just received a rejection letter from the college I applied to, my GPA isn't high enough. I have the option of taking courses part-time to try and raise my GPA, but right now it's like what's the point. I went to school for one term of academic probation and managed to wrosen my GPA, so why should I expect to accomplish anything this time. My dad wants me to go to the University I went to and see if I can get them to alter my transcripts because I was depressed at the time I took the courses, but I don't want to ask for any special favours. I have no job, and no desire to look for one, and I know that when my mother comes back she is going to start pestering me to get one. She is now changing me rent since I'm not attending school, but i have enough money saved up to pay for a few months, so I'm very much in a state of why bother. All I want to do is lie down and cry, but I don't want my family to realize just how uspet I am.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
