If Things Don't Go Your Way

Hello There,

So I received some bad news today that I didn't make the finalists for a big scholarship I was applying to. It was from our state business program and I had a very good shot. I have two other friends that we tend to be constantly competing against each other and they both made it. Yes, I am quite disappointed that I didn't make it, because I would be much better if I could interview for it, but never the less life goes on. I know I will be happy for my friends as they deserve it. I am sure you all have had times where things don't go your way so here are a few things I do.

  1. Look on the bright side. Don't dwell on the fact it didn't work out, look for the next opportunity that you can make it go right.
  2. Don't be jealous. Yes my friends got it, but they deserve it too. They have much better test scores and a higher GPA, and they worked for it. 
  3. Take a small bit of time for your self to be sad. This may contradict the first statement, but I mean don't just sit around going woe is me, but don't keep it bottled up. Talk to someone you trust, or write about it (Like I am blogging now) feeling sad is normal, but don't dwell too much. 
That is about all I have and if you have any other questions let me know. 
Hope your day goes well,
Bailey xx
