Subject: stressed and depressed.. Wee!! :D
I'm pissed and depressed and stressed out. I won't get into any college, I'll probably become a toilet cleaner or something and live in a slum. Yay! .

Frankly, someone has to clean the toilets, and if that person is you, you shouldn't consider that a personal failure.  Any work which you do nobly is noble work.

That having been said, anxiety over the future and getting into a college of your choice (or any college at all) it completely standard and almost always unfounded.  Their is a higher education for almost everyone nowadays.  If you don't get into the major university of your choice you can go to a lesser university.  If that doesn't work, you can attend a satellite school or a local community/junior college and transfer in to a larger school.  There are dozens of options available for the person who is motivated to get a sufficient education to reasonably support himself.  So don't fret.  It's not going to help you on your applications and standardized tests.

Its understandable that many teenagers feel this way. Lord knows I felt that way last year. I figured I wouldn't get into the school I wanted and I'd end up going no where in life. But guess what, I did! You just have to have some faith.
I can truely say I know exactly where you're coming from and if you need to rant or just talk please feel free to message me.
Honestly, even if you DON"T get into the college you want to get into there are so many other chances and other options to improve your chances for the following year or to even look at a route that you don't have to go to college to attain.

Best wishes.
