I applied to work at a university job I was fully qualified for and really excited about. They even reached out to my references, and I know all 3 gave me a good recommendation. I thought I had it in the bag. But nope. Just got a rejection email. Just like that, my dreams crushed. 


I feel like the whole world has been against me this past year. I have been unemployed for so long now. I'm also really embarassed because I informed a few people in my boyfriend's family about this job and they were really rooting for me. I'm so fucking depressed.
