Its all about who you know....

That whole "lifes not fair" thing, is definitely applicable to my life right now. I have been working myself to death since I started college. I also put my work first , my job second and my personal life third. I have tried to hard to do well and get good grades so I can get into a good PA school after I graduate.

One of my good friends goes to Albany. She parties everyday , doesn't do any school work and she also wants to be a PA. We were talking the other day and she said how she plans on going to Stony Brook. I asked her if her grades had picked up and she said no. She then told me how her family knows people involved in the PA program that can get her in. I literally wanted to die.

The fact that I have been working so hard for so long and am not guaranteed a spot in PA school really frustrates me. I feel like at the end of the day sometimes, all that matters in life is who you know. I wish it weren't that way and you could truely earn what you work for, but that is not alawys the case. It is situations like these that make me want to give up. I don't see the point in trying so hard when people have to literally do nothing and still get what I want.
