Hey y'all! Unc editor here. We say "don't self reject" all the time. For some of us it's baked into the process already, but for others it might get lost in the sauce.

So lemme repeat: Get your subs out there. Treat it like building a muscle, or a callus. When/if it comes back as a pass/

We went to the shelter and picked out a dog that had been there the longest. I cannot replace Daisy and I wouldn’t even try but I can make at least one dog’s life better. Meet Izzy, ya’ll
