This week has been one of the worst weeks of my life. I know that sounds really melodramatic but it is how I feel. I received three college rejection letters this week. I knew that getting into all three of these schools would be impossible, but I was hopeful I would get into one of these schools. While I have more decisions to receive, they are from schools harder to get into than the three schools I was just rejected from, so I am feeling very hopeless about the rest of the decisions I will be receiving. Last time I talked about how excited I was about the one college I got into, but I just received the financial aid package and they offered me no aid, so if I choose to attend my favorite college out of the colleges I have been accepted to, I will be in a lot of debt. I know I will have debt no matter which college I choose, but the amount of debt I would have to take on to go to this school is astronomical. I feel as though all my hard work in school has not really paid off. It is very frustrating and upsetting.
On top of these college decisions, this week has brought other problems. My grandmother who lives with us always goes to Florida during the winter. The other night though we received a call that she passed out and fell and was at the hospital. I am extremely close to my grandmother and was devastated to hear that she had broken her shoulder, was in excruciating pain, and may need to have surgery. My mom decided to fly out the next day to be with her and bring her home so she can receive further help from Boston doctors. So in addition to worrying about my grandmother, my mom was not here to comfort me during all the crushing college rejections this week.
Overall I am just feeling blue, and I hope that everything works out; college wise and family wise.
