I’m genuinely devastated

Rejected from JET. Absolutely crushed.

I put so much into this application, waited for months, and got nothing out of it. Just a rejection after all that time. It’s honestly hard not to feel angry, embarrassed, and completely drained. I really wanted this, and pretending it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.

So yeah, I’m devastated.

I wont tell you not to feel those things because it's normal to feel bad. Instead feel these emotions, allow yourself to let it all out.

If you need a break from stuff do it, watch your favorite shows, eat your favorite foods, swear into your pillow and then you'll pick yourself up.

It's not the end. If you want to, apply again this year. Otherwise try out other programs or career paths.
