Grad School

I had an interesting past two weeks. I had been playing with the idea of going to grad school for awhile now but the timing for the fall semester was not right. First of all, I knew that I needed to take the GRE or GMAT and finding the time to study for it while working these crazy hours just seemed like a very difficult task. While scrolling thru my emails, I saw that the University of Florida emailed me about a program I was interested in applying for. The email mentioned that they were going to waive the GRE test scores because of COVID-19.

Instantly, I began to think of the possibilities. If I got in, could I handle the workload for the fall semester and this project at work? I keep telling myself that its through the toughest challenges that we deepen who we are. The challenge excites me. I know that I am a little insane to try for it, but at this point its just trying. Who knows if I will be accepted.

My intuition felt a shift in energy around what I was looking at. Its hard to explain. It’s like when you look back at meeting someone really important in your life. You didn’t realize at the time that it was important, but when you look back there is something that feels like it always was an important moment. I feel like that with this program. It feels like I am looking into a future path before me.

Additionally, I had another interesting experience earlier in the week. While I was prepping my application, I noticed that my statement of purpose did not answer some of the questions the prompt wanted me to. I was a little stressed out from this because I had wanted the application to be done and off my plate. When I woke up the next morning, I recognized that I was getting myself too worked up for applying. I meditated a little bit and calmed my mind, reminding me that whatever happens will be for my greatest good. I asked my guides to help me understand the path before me and know the right direction.

About a year ago, when I was looking into the psychology degree from USC, I got so many calls from the college trying to schedule some sort of conversation with admissions. Recently, I had been interested in hearing from this program again, so I reached out. However, this time I have not received any responses. While I do get calls from California twice a day again, they are all labeled as ‘scam likely’. At some point, I received a scam likely call from Orlando. Something about this call felt different to me. The UF program I would be applying to would have classes in Orlando. When I received this call, my eyes were drawn to the time 2:47.

I looked up with the significance of 247 was on google. The immediate google result said ‘Angel number 247 is a message from your angels that your dedication to maintaining a positive attitude and mindset has resulted in your prayers being answered… angel number 247 is a sign that you are on the right path in your life and your angels urge you to believe in yourself and your chosen life path.’

It was interesting to me that this came up with the call from Orlando, but that doesn’t necessarily give me a definitive answer that this is my path. However, I found it extremely synchronous with what I had been dealing with earlier on. I thanked my guides for such an important message. I know that number significance is very similar to horoscopes. The rationale that a horoscope can relate to anyone. Personally, I interpret these signs similar to music. At the end of the day, a song relates to everyone differently, but it doesn’t lessen the impact or message that you get when you hear that song. Music can often times give you the greatest messages.

While I feel strongly that I will get into this program, it is possible that I won’t. I have made peace that if I do not get in, it is not for my highest good. There was plenty to learn from just going through the application process, which I am grateful for already. As for seeing if I found my next path, I guess only time will tell.
