Acceptance / Rejection

by Nolan on April 1, 2012: Art,Musings

“What are you doing for the next two weeks of break, Charlotte?” I turned and asked her exactly one year ago.

“Just hearing back from colleges,” she answered with a knowing smile.

“Oh, cool,” I said back to her with a vague air of confusion. I knew I didn’t understand what it felt like to be in her place – sandwiched between youth and adulthood.

Two days ago I was getting my hair cut, and my barber asked me the same thing.

“Just hearing back from colleges,” I replied to him.

“No, I mean what are you physically doing?” he replied, frowning.

In the end I’ve been happy and sad and happy and sad and happy and sad and now I’m just sort of numb and sleepy. I have gotten so much contradictory feedback in such a short period of time that I’m really just confused. Being boiled into the mold of a yes or no feels taxing.

Did all my sleepless nights doing homework pay off? Will I be as happy as I thought I’d be? Would I do it differently if I had to do it all over again?

  1. You made some really good points there. I checked on the net for more info about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this site.

  8. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you need to write more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people do not discuss such topics. To the next! Best wishes!!

  9. I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

  18. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone! breast actives http://breastactivesdigest.com/
