I MADE IT!!!!
Made what and why are you exclaiming over it? Well, I got accepted to UC Davis! As some of you guys know if you read me in the past, I really wanted to make it to UC Davis. The first time, I narrowly got rejected. This time, after 2 semesters of straight A's, they accepted me. Though I think some of you don't know what the big difference between UCD and my current university, CSUS.

First, UC Davis is ranked among the top 50 universities in the U.S. CSUS, not even in the top 200. As that implies, having a degree from there makes my resume look a bit more shiny. *though now I'm aiming for the gold star, UCLA*. More importantly to me, it represents something I didn't think was possible for me. In high school, I didn't do so hot. I had all sorts of emotional issues and my grades weren't even close to up to par. So I knew I couldn't directly transfer from there. Then I went to a community college and thought I had a shot after my grades shot up. Yet, I got rejected and had to go to CSUS. That got me really upset and I had something to prove in all these classes lately. And as it turns out, my persistance paid off. Its sorta like, I am realizing that I can do it. I mean, its one thing to see some dumb cliche in a movie saying, You can do it. Its another to feel it in yourself.

That's the point of those quotes up there. I know those are true not just logically, but emotionally. Its a big leap to do that. I think that is the main job of a psychologist too. Most of you guys know many things logically. But its the feeling it part that eludes you, and myself at times. I think sometimes you have to go against what you feel is true and just do what you know is true logically. That's what I've been doing lately. I go against my fears by simply telling them that they are to be overwritten. Atleast I try, its not always successful, but that's my perspective I try to take with myself.
