I got rejected by Colby... I just feel so empty right now. I've only received two decisions but they've both been rejections and I'm wondering if I'll be rejected from every college I applied to at this point... I don't know what to do

Oh no no no. I ain’t gon let you feel this way. It’s two schools so far that have rejected you, and there are other schools that you will surely get into. I learned in my psychology class about this thing called the availability heuristic, where thing seem more common when there on our mind. You’ll be totally fine in the future, and you have a bright bright future ahead.
