Self-complaint from a rising junior student

Hi guys,
I am a rising junior student at a non-target~semi-target school. Majoring in Mathematical Economics with gpa 3.75. I am interested in S&T but not sure if I can do honestly. I feel like I have been wasting my life because so many kids are already well prepared for interviews.... like smart kids, kids who play poker something like that. I came to the US when I was a 9th grader and had to learn English first even before equipping myself. Now what.......

As far as I can tell, you only have two options: 1) keep bitching on WSO all week by making yet another whiny post or 2) start using all the resources available (posts, guides, books) and actually prep for the fucking interviews.

I felt pathetic just reading this shit.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Agreed...everyone is dealt a different hand in life (no pun intended). At the end of the day, no one cares what hand you were dealt, but rather what you did with that hand. The best poker players are not the ones that only win with good hands but rather can take a shitty hand and win with it. Equally, you are going to be far more success in life if you accept the hand you have been dealt and use all the resources possible to make that hand better, giving up solves nothing. You are 20 year old, why quit on your dreams now?
