aight y& #39;all, i& #39;m deadass serious about this: i& #39;ve narrowed it down to 7 programs (4 in american studies, 3 in gender studies) and i& #39;m gonna work so hard over the next 6 months to make this happen
unfortunately this will include retaking the GRE (since my scores expired in september, RIP)
i literally just googled how to calculate the area of a triangle so i can go study affect theory and biopolitics lmfao

holy crap, just remembered this tweet (here& #39;s hoping i make a better decision next time.......) https://twitter.com/rsl318/status/578230385240338432">https://twitter.com/rsl318/st...
still in disbelief that i& #39;m having to start over (re-taking the GRE, paying ~$1000 to apply to a new batch of schools, re-doing coursework, re-taking comps) & all of this started BECAUSE I ASKED MY ADVISOR NOT TO TEXT ME AFTER 10PM
but the warped time of quarantine has given me the space to realize that i& #39;m so so passionate about my project; about learning, teaching, research, writing, ethnography....
every morning i state out loud & #39;i am smart as fuck& #39; & & #39;i can do this& #39;

(sorry for the ramble-y coffee-fueled thread; i& #39;ll probably delete this in like an hour)
oh god, i just realized that if i had & #39;stuck it out& #39; in my toxic musicology program i would be & #39;on the market& #39; next year

going on & #39;private& #39; as i embark on this process of networking w/ bombass scholars & planning out my applications!!! let& #39;s fuckin go!!!
(if i seem overly peppy, i apologize- my days are filled w/ depression & helplessness, as i& #39;m sure they are for so many, and gaining clarity about my goals & my future is sort of my only motivator rn)
grad school question: in general, is it possible to apply to multiple programs w/in the same university? (for instance, applying to a gender studies AND american studies program)
sorry if this is a stupid question! i was raised real podunk
