I am looking for rooms nearby, can be PG 1 bhk 3 bhk anything. Anyone looking for a roommate?

I have new office joining tomorrow and I feel so overwhelmed. Made a plan with a familiar person and they postponed the plan at the last moment. I don't want to watch movies, don't wanna rant with frnds/strangers (I just can't ). Don't have energy to meet or talk to strangers with a new intro. I wanted familiar people but they are either far or busy. The day is already over . I would've been in 32nd avenue and returned back by now after clearing my head(possibly)

I know I am not the only one in this situation. Others who are, please share htf you guys make yourself so strong.

I got terminated from my company recently and I've been having nightmares about it it's been 2 weeks. I cannot see why I deserved it, I can get another job ,but how to let go of that memory is the question.

I want to know how to let the past go because it's the same feeling as having a breakup . I imagined and made plans with the organisation for my own career I thought I'd have.

Hey everyone, need some urgent perspective on a stressful grad school situation.

Applied late to a top-tier US MS program in Bioengineering due to portal errors. The Director liked my medical device startup profile (8+ months in core R&D/prototyping), manually approved my application, and offered an interview.

But after some scheduling glitches, he sent me this exact mail today:

"Before signing up, can you confirm that the financial burden of the cost of Rice is something that you can manage? The tuition is $59,100 and if the financial fit isn't there, we shouldn't proceed with an interview."

I haven't replied yet because I'm stuck in a major dilemma:

The Guilt: I really want an academic comeback and don't want to settle. I already have an interview scheduled with Vanderbilt, and I'm waiting on UCL. If I say "yes" to this Director just to get the interview, but later decline for other universities or due to visa/funding issues, will I permanently burn a bridge since he went out of his way for me?

The Age Anxiety: I am turning 24 now. If I drop/defer and join next year, I’ll be 25. I feel "too old" for an MS, even though I'll have 2 solid years of core BME R&D experience by then. The cohort consists of mostly fresh grads.

The Red Flag?: Is it normal for a top program to explicitly gatekeep an interview behind a tuition confirmation like this, or are they just trying to fill empty seats?

TL;DR: Director manually approved my late MS application but wants a $59k tuition confirmation before interviewing. Want to say yes as a backup, but feeling immense guilt because of my other interviews and feeling "too old" at 24/25. Help!
