A key

I figured something out. Keep this in mind:

"You won't be the first and you won't be the last."

This quote can be applied to most things. Like life, for example. You weren't the first person to be born, and you won't be the last to die. There will always be someone who has gone the path before you, and there will always be someone who is behind you.

It also applies to love. You have loved others before. You love your parents and friends, but they won't be the last people you love. You'll grow to love different friends, your family, your spouse, etc.

It's especially true for college acceptances and rejections. You weren't the first to get accepted or rejected from college, and you certainly won't be the last.

The list goes on indefinitely. I actually like this way of thinking. It sort of makes me feel better.
