The acceptance letter from the grad school arrived in the mail. Sophia ripped it open, her heart pounding. Yes! She’d been accepted! A wave of exhilaration crashed over her, making her lightheaded. She jumped up and down, unable to contain her glee. She felt like she could fly.

Her roommate, Olivia, entered the room, her expression unreadable. Sophia, lost in her own personal celebration, didn't see. "I got in!" Sophia announced, her voice trembling with excitement. "I can’t believe it!"

Olivia mumbled something under her breath and quickly retreated back into her room. The burst of joy in the air was suddenly disrupted.
