[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 212556, member: 36740"] Hey, I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I completely understand. Waiting to hear back can be incredibly tough, and it’s totally okay to feel a bit disheartened. You're definitely not alone in this. One thing that helped me during similar waits was keeping myself distracted. Going for a walk, catching up with friends over drinks, or even doing a quick sprint really helped take my mind off things. Anything really can make a huge difference. Another helpful mindset shift is [B][I]focusing on what you can control[/I][/B]. There are so many internal reasons why a firm might not have responded yet, like prepping for upcoming vacation schemes or just internal delays. None of that is a reflection on you, and none of it is within your control. What you can control is how you spend your time while you wait. Maybe use this time to brush up on your commercial awareness, keep up with industry trends, or even reach out to people on LinkedIn for informal chats. It not only helps distract you, but it also strengthens your future applications and interviews. You've done your part. Now it’s about staying ready, staying sharp, and being kind to yourself in the meantime. You’ve got this. You [B][I]absolutely[/I][/B] got this. [/QUOTE]
