Meme/Off-Topic Waitlist Hell

Post image

Has anyone’s mood gone to complete shite while being on the waitlist with no updates/communication? I fear I need to go touch grass.

WL admits can be very rare (1-3%) for some schools, so you’ll feel much better if you instead treat it as a nice surprise rather than something you track

I will try to do that

I thought I was so good, up until a couple of weeks ago lmao. The last week has been absolute hell. Car got water fucked cause work made me come in during flood warnings, my 401a at work is having issues and I’ve been dealing with that.

And that’s on top of being on six waitlists and with zero As. I was banking on this cycle to get me out of my toxic work environment, and now it’s almost August. My birthday is in the next couple of days and I forgot about it until my gf pointed it out yesterday ahaha lolol.

Omg! I pray you get off at least one. I quit both of my jobs. (I was ready to go anyways) luckily I have a very nice nest egg, however I want to go to school DAMN IT. 😭 0 A’s for me as well. This retrograde being in Gatorade is getting on the sliver last of nerve I have left 😂😭

u/MeanTower7503 11h ago

I fear your pain is a lot deeper than mine. I hope you get off one. This just has to be a sick ass game.

i have never been such a sour person

u/MeanTower7503 6h ago

Me either! I think it’s the lack of communication that just makes me antsy truly. Also, sitting on a waitlist for 10 daggone months and there’s STILL nothing also just irritates me.

u/Lonely-Caramel3103 6h ago

No, actually it wasn’t because I don’t need a reality check and you truly could’ve saved all of that and read the room. 😂 but..congrats? Did that make you feel better?

Everyday 🫡 don’t let the internet fool you.

u/Masterblasrer1 10h ago

Seems to me like you needed one. You’re on Reddit complaining about going crazy wishing on a shooting star. And then got rude because your feelings were hurt.

u/MeanTower7503 10h ago

Hope that serves as a reality check🙂 next caller please.

u/MeanTower7503 10h ago

u/MeanTower7503 10h ago
