The title says it all - this is just a rent.
I do not live in the US so the system is different but where I live you can apply to grad school (business in my case) through a very selective entrance exam 2 years after high school.

I've never known real failures, I was always a top student in high school, got into a great college, and I've been working my ass off for two years only to get rejected from my dream school (top school of the country/my continent).

I burnt out during my first year so this feels like a loss to myself too, because it took everything I had to pull myself together.

I'm the first in my family to attend university, so this rejection also feels like a failure towards my family, but also to all the classmates who have good socio-economic backgrounds... like I'm just letting them win. Ugh. And I've got all my friends feeling sorry for me, which I appreciate, but it also makes the failure even bigger because they believed in me.

I'm just so disappointed, especially after everything I've been through. Like I keep trying but without winning. I feel like even my therapist is going to be disappointed lol.

I haven't got the results for the other schools, and there is a possibility that I could re-do a year, but I would get a malus, and mentally idk if I have the strength.

Hello to all pcos girlies !
I was wondering if anybody had advice for pcos-induced facial hair ?
Ever since getting off BC in September 2025, I have grown dark peach fuzz all over my cheeks + on my neck, but it doesn't resemble a beard because the hair is not thick enough. I'm brunette with pale skin so it's not exactly discreet.
I'm currently doing IPL on my body but I don't want to risk shaving my face in case of bad regrowth. Electrolysis is also too expensive at the moment.

I've resorted to bleaching it, but the hair turns yellow-ish after like a week, which makes my skin tone look weird. Also, I feel like bleaching thickens the hair but it might only be an impression. And the bleaching cream smells cancerous lol.
I pluck the few hairs that are really coarse and dark.

I have booked an appointment with a nutritionist to fix my diet and all, but it's in a month and im really insecure about my facial hair.
Should I try to wax it ? I've been waxing my moustache for years now, but the hairs grow so fast I have to pluck everyday...
Ive heard about spearmint tea, would it work ? It is worth giving it a try ?
Thanks!!
