I wasn't expecting anyone to actually read this whole thing lol. I definitely know what you mean about the polished version of someone's life online. I'm glad that other people can relate to me as well. <br /><br />I hate when people tell me that I at least have a boyfriend! That doesn't mean anything! xD All this started at the saaammmeee time I got a bf, so obviously, that didn't deter all the negative feelings! :P <br /><br />When I was doing my internships over the past summers, no one ever asked me what my GPA was. Only HR needed to know my GPA, but even then I still got accepted even though I didn't have that 4.0 or whatever it is that you "need" to get a job these days! I just wish I didn't have these bad grades so that I could get my minor ): It's still possible, but I'd have to shoot for B- and above from now on (lol, this is what college does for us - it's great to just get above a C!). I'll try not to let that get in the way! I really did enjoy my time in the labs and although I'm apparently not the best test taker, I know I enjoy it more than many other people (: <br /><br />Thank you, my dearest friend <3 That was muchhhh needed reassurance! *hugs x 1000000*Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849863828518675370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224823917010042941.post-20976112602580114252012-10-29T13:41:47.609-07:002012-10-29T13:41:47.609-07:00Big big hugs Amanda! <3
It's terrible that...Big big hugs Amanda! <3<br /><br />It's terrible that you're feeling so awful, but I find it comforting in a weird way that you are, if that's not really horrible of me? I think you're a really cool person with a really cool life from what I see of you - and I guess I feel less rubbish to know that you feel as bad as I do, sometimes. It's easy to see a polished version of someone's life over the internet and feel like you're just failing and no one else is struggling, and I think it's important for us to share these things, in a way. So we know we're not the only person not living our perfect life! No one is.<br /><br />Sometimes over the past 4 years when I've felt terrible about things -and justifiably so - people have been like "but at least you've got someone", which frustrates me because while a good partner can make that one aspect of your life awesome, the rest doesn't fall into place automatically, and I think a lot of people act like it does. It doesn't. >_<<br /><br />Grades suck. Grades don't actually demonstrate very much at all. During my last year at uni, during something I honestly truly LOVED, I got a lot of really bad grades. When I knew my stuff! It's frustrating. It's BEYOND frustrating - it's demoralising and horrible. Try not to let that get in the way of how much you love Biology! <3 I believe in you! I know you can do it :)<br /><br />If you ever need to vent, you know where you can find me! For the record: you're a lovely person and I know that ultimately, you will win at life because you are awesome :) xxxAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497607205355129297noreply@blogger.com
