This past school year, I did everything possible to get a higher change of getting accepted. So it's an understatement to say I was disappointed. A lot of people around me were positive I was going to get in, because this was the only thing I wanted and was willing to set everything aside for it.
The letter had more impact on me than I thought it ever would. After all, it was just one of the thousand schools, right? But it did, and it resulted in me not wanting to do anything. I sat at the dinner table all night, sobbing. 'What do I do now?' 'I failed at something I worked so hard for' 'Do I want to apply again next year?' 'Do I look for something else?' Were just some of the questions that crossed my mind.
The next day I had to work, so I would be fine during the day. And when there wasn't really much to do, I decided to have a night for myself. Watch a sad movie, do my nails, no make-up, tea, chocolate and the lights dimmed. (And let's not forget Tumblr!)
And when my parents went to a party, I went for it.

| 'Dear John' |

| Nails |
 |
| A big cup of tea and my own chocolate bar |
 |
| Laptop, iPad and iPod all geared up |
It really helped me to let everything loose for a night and not hold back.
What do you do when you are sad or get a bit of bad luck?
