For the last...oh about three years now...I have lived for the dream of moving to new york city and attending new york university to major in applied psychology. As I researched the school more and more I started thinking that I had no chance because it was such a great school....so highly selective....so close in rank to schools like harvard and yale and stanford...but still I mustered my courage and the best of my writing skills and applied as an early decision applicant back in november.

I was sure they would turn me down, so sure that I already had another application ready to mail off as soon as they sent me the rejection letter....only the letter I was expecting to say "we're sorry" instead said "congratulations! and welcome to NYU!" I was SPEECHLESS.

I have gone over that moment, this moment, all of these moments in my mind over and over and over for the last three years...it's so unreal. I have always had the feeling that my dreams of NYU were simply false hopes that could never come true...but now it's true. somehow...I got exactly what I wanted. It's weird but people have always told me that I am a stubborn and driven girl and that nothing will ever be able to hold me back from my dreams..that I will always get what I want very badly. I was starting to doubt their words, but this is reaffirmation. this is amazing!!!!!!!

I just wanted to share my joy....and send out the message that I've learned from this so far...anything really is possible...no matter how crazy a dream might seem, it can still become a reality.

i remember when i applied to an art school in Denver... had to a portfolio and show some of my "art"... i'd never been taught and felt way out on a limb...

being accepted gave me a glow for days (i ended up not attending) ...

I'm more thrilled about the lesson you learned :-) It will stand you in real good stead when initial disappointments happen later in life. I got my second BA, 35 years after I "should" have (I changed majors in my senior year of college) in the subject I truly loved so there's always a chance to get to your dreams if you really want to.

Congratulations!

at the same time i'm waiting for the college of my dreams to finally send me their letter...to finally confirm my strong beliefs that I didn't get in. I'm sure it will say "we're sorry, you just weren't smart enough. if only you were better, smarter, we might have considered you. but alas you are not. sucks for you. you are pathetic." Within the next two or three days I should be receiving that notice. wonder how I'll react to that..hmm...god i dunno.

How you doing, girl? You realizing that all this crap you give yourself isn't true? You have bona fide info that you're NOT pathetic. You working on quitting playing with your health? You're worth more than any school can know and if they can know, you should too!
