I know many people would say
“rejection is a redirection!”
“Rejection is an opportunity in disguise”
“Many successful people have been rejected before many times don’t take it seriously!”
Okay I get it. But just let me grieve the rejection. I believe in those motivational quotes too but I just don’t want to lie to myself that it hurt and I feel tired.
I don’t want to give up on my thesis especially when I have such good adviser. The only thing that happened in defense day was that my panels didn’t understand my point and all of their advice for me were all different and wasn’t close to the point I’m trying to deliver.
My thesis adviser understood my thesis topic but the panels didn’t. I’m confused. I literally did my best and poured so much and was confident to present that but I got rejected.
I do know that the only way is to just do it. Yeah I know that. I’m just tired and I don’t know when I will get my motivation back. I can’t even think straight these days. I still have a chapters 1-3 deadline next week already and I still can’t think straight and when I force myself, I breakdown.

Don't dwell on this and keep your hopes up.
ReplyHonestly rejection sucks. I've been rejected. Once cus a guy I liked didn't like me back. Then when my writings wouldn't win in competitions despite being told they're really good. Sometimes I feel rejected when people think I'm not good enough. It's natural to feel this way and honestly it's a part of life. Just one day know it'll work out
ReplyI’m an undergraduate but I had this one course last semester that was a physics course that had oral exams, and I realized something: it’s always easier to do better in school the more objective the assignment is. If it’s judging writing they’ll never give a score of 100, they might give 99 or 98 but never 100. In the physics class I was getting full points for basically every non oral assignment. Then I also realized it’s way easier to get a high GPA in computer science because the assignments are all coding assignments which is completely objective. Either it works or it doesn’t, there’s no room for opinions. All I’m saying is, just because they don’t understand your thesis or they don’t like it, that doesn’t mean your thesis is actually wrong and it doesn’t mean you don’t know what you’re talking about or you aren’t capable. Regardless of what impact it has in terms of credentials going forward or gaining the approval of people (which is a part of life although it sucks) whatever knowledge you gained in the process isn’t useless. You can still use what you’ve learned regardless of whether you got anybody’s approval for it.
