Big Envelope

It is impossible to describe to anyone who has not gone through the college admissions process what the past few days have been like. The season started early with a decision I had expected to be positive. In the case it had been negative, I would have serious doubts about the next few days. But several days past before I got the first rejection. I was ready to receive it because I was not expecting to get in. Furthermore, my close friend who is much more qualified than me also got rejected. But then the unexpected happened. I got a big envelope from a school I had not expected. At that moment I was no longer worried about all the other schools because I was accepted to one of my top choices. It is still hours after being accepted but I am still smiling. I do not intend to be boastful by writing about this topic but I just feel so happy that I am finally certain about something in my life. There still may be a lot more issues I have to face but for this moment I am alright.
