The waiting and uncertainty can be so draining - sometimes even more than facing the results themselves. This was something that I really struggled with last cycle, and I ended up spiralling when I would see people hearing back online when I was still waiting.The mindset that really helped me (and might help you too!) was reminding myself that once I've done my part of submitting the best application I could, the outcome was out of my hands. The decision element was out of my control, so spending mental energy on it just amplifies anxiety without changing anything. There are so many elements and factors that go into the graduate recruitment team's decisions that it's impossible to predict how each individual application will do.When that worry or restlessness kicks in, I always used to try to redirect my focus and energy toward the aspects I could control - such as working on university assignments, researching for applications, or practicing other elements of the process. This made me feel a bit more grounded, and felt like I was bringing the 'power' back into my own hands. It doesn't make the anticipation disappear, but it might help reclaim some calm and agency.It is an incredibly tough process, and you've already shown a lot of strength by powering through! Hang in there, and be kind to yourself while you wait <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
