induction night is tomorrow and everything might be ruined
The story
i applied to this academic org. in my school a while back and i was in the group on our school website when the congrats post was sent out. i just found out i had no access to the group today and sent an email to the advisor who said i never submitted the form. i am crashing out because i don't understand why i wouldn't have been removed before the congrats post was sent out if my form was really not submitted. i remember clearly the screen saying "your form has been submitted" but the form did not allow me to save my response, so now i have no record of me actually submitting the form. i just feel like my future is ruined because this was really important to me. i have a google doc where i typed up my answers and obviously i have the version history for that, and my parents are going to talk to the principal, but i just don't know if that will be enough because there is no evidence of me submitting the form unless it's from their end. and again, they said they 'triple checked' and i hadn't submitted it. is it possible they're out to get me or something? i just feel lost.
How likely do you think it is that they allow me to get back in?

honestly, it sounds like a pretty tough situation 😕; but i think there's still some hope. you know, technology isn't perfect and errors happen all the time. it's possible there was a glitch or something with the system. also, schools usually have protocols to handle these things fairly, so maybe your parents talking to the principal will help clear things up. don't jump to conclusions about them being out to get you 🤔! just focus on presenting whatever evidence you do have and stay calm through this mess 😊.
i totally understand your frustration. it's astonishing how an ostensibly minor technology glitch can jeopardize something so crucial. if you were indeed listed in the group initially, it seems highly doubtful that you didn't submit the form at all, unless there's some serious miscommunication on their part. i've experienced similar bureaucratic blunders where my efforts vanished into a digital abyss, and it's infuriating. could it be that they have overlooked their own administrative error? one must wonder about the integrity of their "triple-checking" process... it sounds more like a rhetorical safety net than an actual examination of events. anyway, it’s commendable that you’re having your parents step in; sometimes authority figures only respond to an authoritative inquiry... an unfortunate reality but quite often true in academic settings.
Man, I get why you’re frustrated. But honestly, saying they're "out to get you" seems like a stretch; 🤔 Errors happen more often than we'd like to admit. It's kinda weird they didn't boot you from the group earlier though, which suggests some kind of screw-up on their end too; Just make sure your parents go in with a level head and all evidence you've got: might be the push they need to revisit their so-called “triple-check.”
wow, that's such a frustrating situation; sounds like one of those classic technology mishaps. 🤦♀️ what you could do is gather as much documentation as possible on your end: like take screenshots of the google doc with timestamps.. and maybe even check in with any peers who might have experienced something similar. sometimes mistakes happen not because someone’s out to get you but just due to a procedural error or oversight. if your parents are chatting with the principal, perhaps they can also ask for a review of their server logs; that might show if there was an attempt to submit. hang in there and don't lose hope; these things usually have a way of working themselves out!
well, it's pretty wild that they let you sit in the group before figuring out there was an issue with your form. sounds sketchy and disorganised from their side if you ask me. 🤔 but chill for a sec—getting wound up won't fix it. just keep at it with talking to them, and who knows, this might all be a big mess-up on their end. either way, you can handle this; no one's life is over because of one screw-up like this! 🙄
Bro, calm down a bit. I get that this is mad frustrating, but really... thinking they're plotting against you is wild?! Mistakes happen more than we want, and tech can be a real pain in the neck sometimes. It's sus they didn't catch it sooner; maybe their “triple-check” was just them covering their backsides? Just chill and keep all the evidence ready for when your parents talk to the principal. You've still got a shot at sorting this out!
Man, what a rough break! It sounds like you're caught in one of those classic bureaucratic puzzles where all you can do is rely on tech, which let's face it, isn't always reliable. I mean who hasn't had a form submission just disappear into the digital ether? 😑 Having your answers saved in Google Docs is definitely good ammo though. Maybe emphasize to them how important this opportunity is to you, sometimes showing personal stakes can make people more willing to dig deeper and find a solution. It’s tough not knowing if it's just an error or something bigger at play, but either way, stay persistent.
Honestly, this whole situation sounds like a mess! 😬 It's hard to believe that someone is out to get you; seems more like an unfortunate oversight. If the system showed a "submitted" message initially, it could be some technical snafu on their end rather than yours. Schools sometimes have these slip-ups; they're not perfect either! I'd say it's good you're involving your parents; they can add weight to your concerns and push for a proper investigation into what might've gone wrong. Keep all your evidence ready just in case, but don't let this totally stress you out: there's usually a way to sort things like this;
man, that sucks big time! 😡 like seriously, how could they mess up something so basic? i swear these online systems have it out for us. it's like they're built to drive us crazy with these little "errors". reminds me of the time i got locked outta my own student portal cause it randomly deleted my login info... talk about frustrating!!! anyway, keep pushing your story!! if nothing else, maybe they need a wake-up call on how their system's screwing people over instead of helping... hope your parents can talk some sense into them. stay strong 🙏 and don’t let it bring you down too much!
considering their purported "triple-check," one can't help but question the reliability of such procedures; the fact that you've been removed post-congratulations reeks of procedural incompetence, suggesting potential negligence rather than intentional sabotage.
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this, it sounds incredibly frustrating. From your description, it seems like there could have been a software or system error that didn't properly register your form submission; Sometimes schools rely heavily on automated systems which aren't infallible. It's worth considering whether other students had similar issues; maybe there's a broader problem they need to address. Keeping calm is key here, though that's easier said than done.
Your parents' involvement is crucial as it might pressure the school into taking an extra look at their processes and logs! especially if others had problems too...
hey, that's rough and totally feels like you're stuck in some tech nightmare. 😥
your story really highlights a frustrating part of dealing with tech issues in school; it's almost like it sets you up for failure when something doesn't work right. 🤷♂️ i'm skeptical about their "triple-check"; sounds more like they're trying to cover any oversight on their end. why would they let the post go out without verifying everyone's submission? did anyone else have this problem? it's good your parents are getting involved 'cause sometimes schools only listen when there's pressure from above; maybe it'll make them reevaluate the process and see where they went wrong. keep all your evidence ready and try not to stress too much!
Problem solved? 😬
ugh, i totally feel for you! it's so frustrating when you do everything right and still end up in this kind of mess. tech glitches can really throw a wrench into things; makes you wonder if the system needs some serious updating. it's good that your folks are getting involved, sometimes having that extra support makes a big difference. maybe see if there’s any way to resubmit or work something out with the advisor; they might be more helpful than you think once they see how important this is to you. keep your head up, these things usually have a way of working themselves out 😊 hang in there!
man, what a total pain in the neck! 🤦♂️ sounds like classic system glitch and you've done all you can. if they ‘triple checked’ and came up with zilch, it might be time for them to upgrade their tech game. tech is great till it's not; reminds me of when i lost my entire essay because the cloud thought it'd just up and vanish one day 😤 truth is, these systems ain't foolproof and living by 'em can feel like a roll of the dice. but don’t lose heart or hope - your docs have timestamps and that's hard evidence of your efforts. keep pushing; sometimes a little extra nudge gets things back on track!
Man, it feels like you're caught in some kind of "glitch in the Matrix" situation!
your situation has been solved???
