I didnt get in...
I applied to an art university and found out i didnt get in...i know i probably woulsnt have had the money to go anyways, but i feel worthless as a person and an artisy knowing i didnt make it. Not only that but I spent $400 on a printer i wont see for 2 months which screwed me over financialy. Now im running out of art supplies and i have no money to buy any because i cant get a job with my mental state. I don't know what to do

There's numerous artists that we know about now who had failed time and again in life. You didn't get in to art school, and I know words can't express how crushed you must be feeling right now. For the moment, taking some time to collect yourself and spending some time recovering from this temporary setback may be helpful.
When you are ready, just know that moving forward as an artist does not mean you have to go to art school. You can keep creating art, and carving your own path forward. :)
@AcrylicCorgi I agree with what has been said here - whether you choose to study your passion in a college setting or not, you can still be quite talented and amazing and successful with it in the future. I studied creative writing in college and sometimes I feel like that was a waste of time and money. It did not teach me much that I didn't already know about my craft, but the degree has helped me get my current job. Although, a business degree seems like it would be more effective since I did have to have a connection to get the job I've got now. You can sell your art independently of a big company too. I know that finding out this news on top of the financial things is devastating but you will find the life path that suits your needs and talents the best. <3
@AcrylicCorgi In my opinion, nobody that has a talent with art is worthless. Just the opposite.
Art is what makes life worth living. Many of us that end up in go nowhere jobs rely on art to bring color and meaning into our lives.
I'm envious of anybody with the god given talent to share thier creativity with the world. I'll be pulling for you. I for one would love to see some of your work.
