Many of us dream of being the protagonist in our own entrepreneurial story while navigating the chaos of campus life. I’ve been trying to launch a small online shop selling custom anime-inspired prints, but I’ve faced more rejection and logistical failures than I expected. Is it better to view these setbacks as a necessary 'training arc' to prepare for the real world, or am I just romanticizing a business failure to avoid the dating-scene-level heartbreak of a failed project?
