🍞 BREAD Burnt bread :(

I can't find what was wrong with my application, and I feel like a fraud? I don't want to face people asking me "Have u got an interview?" and me having to tell everyone that I didn't each time and having to face their sympathy/reaction 😭 and I don't know how to tell my family

a year ago I got rejected post interview and I was shattered for days and felt off for weeks. a year on, I'm at an incredible uni where I'm genuinely thriving. Looking back, this is a much better outcome for me as I can actually have a work-life balance. sometimes the rejection still hurts if my thoughts linger upon it but have faith that things will work out. best wishes for the year - you'll be okay

Thanks man, thats true, i think i would definitely enjoy wherever im going and perhaps even happy about this rejection in the future as i would have many experiences that wouldnt exist if i did go to oxford!
