Does it ever stop?

I lied. I definitely rather be on a wait list then flat out rejected.

My letter from USC came today. Since freshmen year, I had imagined myself going to USC. I knew letters came out today so right after swim practice, I rushed home, picked up the mail, and began to feel doubtful when I looked at the small envelope from USC. I was hoping for a big, fancy package. I held my tiny envelope up to the sun, I was too nervous to open it. The sunlight revealed a paper titled "Frequently Asked Questions."

 At that point, I knew I was either rejected or wait listed. I ripped open the envelope and read the contents. I was rejected.

 I felt like I had let down my family. I regretted so many things. Maybe if I took my SATs a little more serious I would have been accepted  or if I actually studied for my Calculus exam.

This was really an awful feeling.
