By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." - Benjamin Franklin
These days.
I'm all about preparation. For the big SCARY day. And it almost, ALMOST makes me study. I mean, only if anyone knew what prep talk I give myself at the end of the day or when my car is stuck in traffic jam. I would be like-
What dress should I wear at the admission test- hmm something comfortable. And something I wore in a happy occasion in the past. To favor the luck.
I don't think putting down my hair that day would be a good idea. I should do a ponytail. Not very tight tho that could give me a headache.
Revising- Uh I wonder when is the right time to revise. On the car to way up there? No. It could be unnerving. Oh hey. I could make flashcards.
Eating and Sleeping- I wonder about the night before. Would I be able to sleep? I don't think so. But if I settle down for some physical work for the day before, I could make myself fall asleep the night. But my body confuses me at times. Whatever happens, I will not let myself be awake the night before. I will get perfect 8-10 hours of sleep and before going there I would treat myself with a leisurely breakfast.
What about footwear? I should wear something with straps because I have a tendency to slip out. I don't wanna make a scene.
Cell phone- Turn it off baby. Girl,(My subconscious speaking) You don't need any distraction from the instagram that day. Hot guys and puppies? You can drool over those pictures later, when you successfully complete the entrance exam.
Now the "could happen" part: The interview.
( My subconscious speaking to me again.)
Positive
You don't have to worry about it. Just smile and be proud of yourself if you have made it. Don't be afraid, they ain't gonna bite, they're just gonna ask you some questions and expect an answer. Don't give them the pleasure to traumatize you. Be ladylike and show respect. Show passion for whatever subject you get. And don't worry it helps that you're a female. They don't trick mother-like creatures. Just dress up in a traditional "sober" salwar kamiz and don't be tacky with the orna and you're good to go.
Negative
You didn't get into anywhere you applied? You didn't get all the promised gifts because you failed. You're heartbroken and sad and crying and regretting and going through hell and back. You can't face anyone in your family. You feel like every ounce of your hopes and dreams just shattered into tiniest pieces as possible. And you don't know what to do now? Here's an idea;
Quit being miserable.
Go back if you still have an option. Like right now. You. Yes you can change this... Never allow it to happen. Try harder. HARDER.
However if you don't have an option. Don't go back. Look forward. You have have hit the bottom. The only way here now for you ,is to go up. So quit regretting and get up from the floor. Deal with your future. Deal with the reality. Deal with SAT. Deal with IELTS. Deal with private universities. Deal with your fate. Just deal with it.
