   Dealing with rejection - TED-Ed talk

      Key takeaways from the video:
      -

         It can be a painful experience when we realize that someone or
         some “college” doesn’t hold us in the same esteem we hold
them. It can help
         to remember two things:


   1.

   It’s not just about you, the other party is looking for something
   different in this relationship and what they want may be: unreasonable,
   unfair, or simply not what you have to give.
   2.

   A college not admitting you isn’t proof that there is something wrong
   with you, they don’t even know you.
   3.

   Connect with those who do love you and appreciate you for who you are.
