So, there's this girl I know. And she grew up dreaming of England and possibly going to school there because she loved the history so much. Shortly after he 24th birthday, she had the opportunity to go and visit her cousin there and had the most wonderful vacation. She decided to apply to go to university there.
As luck would have, she got into almost every school she applied to. She was worried about funding, but everyone assured her it would be no problem. So she relaxed and told everyone she was going rather than waiting to be sure everything would go through. As the clock ticked closer and closer, she discovered that she did not qualify for the loans on her own. And that there was no one to cosign the loans for her.
She realized that she would have to tell everyone she had gushed about her plans to. Humiliation became hers and sleeps next to her every night on her pillow.
Lucky for her, she is used to being Murphy's Law incarnate, and so while she is far more devastated than anyone, everyone else is far more shocked than she is. (side note of pride for herself: she has not cried about it in front of anyone, and only once alone on the day she found out.)
But the humiliation won't go away as she once again is confirmed as the girl who can never seem to follow through on anything.
That girl is me.
