I know a girl who is sooo sure of herself she thinks she'll get high grades and she'll be applied in a position in college, is she over reacting, I mean for me I only hope the best for myself but I can never say I'm sure I'll get it . I only do my best and never expect anything..what will really happen to her if she never got that position?

Small Fish Big Pond.
Came out of Elementry School feeling like the top of the world.
Came out of Highschool... feeling pretty much the same.
Had every choice of University that I applied for.
First years of university were ok. Then I switched programs into Engineering. I kinda saw my world crash down. My marks were only mediocre and it was difficult to find a job. I hope my marks are high enough for Grad School.
The thing is, no matter where you are in life, you are in your own collective community. However, as soon as you move beyond, you will always find someone who is better than you at the things you were best at. You may have been the biggest shrimp in the fish tank... but as soon as u are out in the ocean... Gosh you are nothing.
It is a devastativng reality for alot of people. Coming out of the top to be at the bottom.
Nothing is really for certain. In life, getting positions are just a matter of luck. Timing is the key.
If she missed the position, she might be devastated. Yet, I'm sure she will rise again and look forward to something new.

She sounds like she is over reacting a little bit but confidence only helps when applying for colleges and getting jobs. If she is so confident and she doesn't get the position she may just keep on going and move toward another goal. That or she will slip into a state of depression. But I can't tell the future you could just ask her.

Well, it is a matter of expectations. I usually hope for the best, expect the middle, and prepare for the worst. if you set your expectations too high, as in the case of your friend, then you will be very dissappointed and distrought if your high expectations are not met. Most of the time, anger, fear, and often depression come from a person getting their hopes up about something and then have their hopes dashed on the rocks of disappointment. Depends on the personality type as to what will be her reaction if the outcome is negative, but usually it is pretty devastating.

We should never be too much confident on ourselves.
It reminds a girl who was my classmate, she was very intelligent and hard worker.
When we passed the High School Exam, she was the first one to finish, and always leaving the classroom with a big smile.
Day J : She failed.
It was a tough lesson for her.
She simply answered the questions without even taking time to think, that's how she lost one year of hard work.

OK first thing..there is absolutely nothing wrong or faulty with believing you will get something or accomplish something if your friends actions back it up. People often confuse confidence with arrogance.
If your friend doesn't get the position it will be a let down but a tremendous life lesson that hopefully will be of great value to her and assistance in her future.
Now for you....it is OK for YOU to believe you will GET or achieve anything you put your positive energy into....I have come to find for myself...There is NOTHING I CAN NOT DO!

She may just get a rude wake up call. Of course some ppl are so full of themselves that no matter what ends up happening they still feel they are the best at everything and what happens that doesn't go their way is just because of someone else being stupid.

It's always good to have self confidence and a positive attitude. I she thinks she will get that position she might, if she "tries" to get that position she won't. Be confident, it might piss some people off, but it will get you a lot further in life.

Sounds like she is very confident in herself, and there is nothing wrong with that , but sometimes people do tend to be a little over-confident.

She appears sure of herself to you and she may actually be sure of herself. If she is disappointed (or not) she will probably react according to the way she feels at that time.
You did not say she was your friend...Do you want her to fail and feel bad?

shes probably thinking positive becuase she wants it soo much, and yet if she doesnt get it she'll get overpassionate and possibly do something... you should help her out and tell her to chill, be possitive but not over confidant...gud luck
