USC Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2019 (4 Viewers)

I literally dreamed like 4 times last night that I got accepted to USC. So there's that...
 
I’ve had so many of that same dream these past few weeks!
I literally kept waking up and was like, "wait, did I actually check my portal or did I just dream that". And it just kept happening repeatedly.

Are we all members of a hive mind? I feel like I had the exact same scenario happen to me last night. This whole waiting game with USC makes me feel like a kid on Christmas each and every night, waiting for the next morning to open my portal and hoping for a present.

Yikes! You all have me terrified cause my dream was some crazy random thing with no USC. I may be the odd man out! ??
Never give up!

Yeah but, in this scenario, you wake up on Christmas to find a completely empty stalking and figure, well, I'm sure Santa meant to fill that up! He was just out filling up the stockings of other people first -- yours will get there! You see all the other kids on Christmas morning opening their gifts and getting all excited and frankly that sucks but, hey, don't give up hope! You are a good person, and clearly Santa would have gotten that out of the wish list that you sent to him back in November. So, undeterred, you keep the stocking up and wait weeks and weeks on end for Santa to finally come. You call the North Pole to make sure that Santa is still delivering gifts, and the elfs over there keep insisting that gifts are rolling out, stay tuned! You don't really understand why Santa wouldn't just be able to deliver all his gifts on Christmas night, what with being fucking magical and everything, but whatever! THINK POSTIVE!

After weeks of endless waiting, Santa finally shows up in like mid-January (WHY SO LATE, SANTA??? YOU KNEW WHO YOU WERE DELIVERING PRESENTS TO LIKE A MONTH AGO), just to deliver you a very nicely worded (yet still incredibly demoralizing and esteem crushing) form letter about how you weren't on the naughty list exactly, but he does not think he has the sled capacity to give you presents anyways, at least not at this time. I mean, look: Santa only has room in his sled for like 32 presents, and literally thousands of kids are asking him for them. It's simply an occupancy thing, don't sweat it, Santa still thinks you're good! Taking that message to heart is a little easier said than done, Santa, but I guess thanks for nothing anyways! You reflect on how dumb you were for caring about the whole present application process and decide that you don't even WANT PRESENTS anymore! Heck, who would EVER want presents, especially presents that you have to buy yourself, and are so expensive and unreliable . I'm sure there's other magical beings that can supply you with the same gifts JUST AS WELL, at a fraction of the cost! Hell, why even get gifts?! Just make that shit yourself -- many people in the world do just fine without presents, and surely you can find your own way through life without Santa's help! So take that, you useless Coca-Cola whoring dick!

But then June comes around and you're like "Fuuuuuuuuuck I really want those Christmas gifts," so you re-apply anyways. And the cycle continues.

...It would be like that, I guess.
 
Alright gang, tonight should be the night. Buckle up. Mentally preparing for pain and disappointment.
 
told myself if i don’t get in i’m gonna buy myself a ticket to go to france...i’ve been putting it off for so long and i feel like there might as well be something good that comes out of rejection hahahahaihatethishahahaha
That sounds like a great idea.

I’m gonna study in New York for the summer if I don’t get in. Similar mindset, I think it’s a good idea to have something positive to look forward to instead. It helps with the dissapointment and anxiety! :)
