Job Application Status STILL PENDING

Hi I'm a upcoming sophomore for UCdavis, I applied to the Food Service Worker position last year September two times already. On Handshake it still shows that the application status is pending along with other job position I applied to. Is it normal to wait for 9 months and still no reply or it's just their way of rejecting me? Also I didn't get a confirmation email for food service worker application, I put my school email could that be a problem? Is there any other ways I can go ask for a job except going to a store and ask for one because I'm physically not in America rn.

Anyway I'm just desperate to get a job at this point bc my dad is trying to let me become a "TRUE AMERICAN" by paying my own rents and tution as a first gen Chinese immigrant family lmao.

Thanks to anyone for reading or replying to this :3
