No, other wise I wouldn't have applied...
But the stress of waiting weeks for this decision only to be replaced by a feeling of nothingness is better than despair and disappointment.
I mean sometimes that happens in life you can build up to this big moment and then when the time comes, you just feel nothing/indifferent. This will probably not be the last time you might feel like this, either in your personal life or your professional life.
Honestly, this is normal. When I graduated, I just felt tired and annoyed at answering the question "So how do you feel now that you're done?" over and over again.
Just give it time, it usually brightens into something positive. Dont expect your brain to suddenly reroute all the stress into happiness immediately.
Hey we're all empty inside, it comes with the territory. Don't worry too much about what you "should" or "shouldn't" feel. If you like math and science, then you've found yourself a damn good way to get paid for doing what you love. And if not... well, you can always go become a drastically over-qualified pottery teacher once you get your degree.

Unless you hate chemical engineering, in which case you’re on the wrong sub 😅
