Some h.s. seniors are getting disappointing news soon about college admissions and first choices and I just want to say: PLEASE DON’T FRET. (This generation is so hard on itself!) Practically anywhere you end up will offer you great friendships and education!
MOST people don’t get their first choices! (In most things, really, but yes college too.) Happiness is not about getting your first choices — it’s about trying your best and enjoying where you end up! Please don’t take the news as anything other than one more route to joy.
@jaketapper Every generation is hard on itself at that age
@jaketapper They’ve already had to live through Early Decision I and II. Now regular decision and even then they could be waitlisted until August. A slow agony.
@jaketapper Amen. I got rejected from a ton of undergrads. Stayed in state @RutgersU and had a fantastic experience.
@jaketapper With any luck you'll get fired like Jake.
