<p>Nicky Jane you b**** i was just asking i mean if your going to an ivy why not do something that will get you rich off of hehe....i didnt mean to be offensive you guys except Nicky Jane needs to pull the stick out of her a**.....I dont have a problem with you wanting to be a nurse thats very noble have fun at Penn you lucky!</p>
<p>^Seriously you need to calm down. There was no need to call her out of her name.</p>
<p>ElCommando: It's good that you won't be accepted to an Ivy League school, because people like NickyJane don't need @ssholes like you ruining their college experience.</p>
<p>Can't we all just get along?????</p>
<p>I don't think ElCommando's question about going to an Ivy for nursing was meant to be offensive. I think he was just curioius as to what an Ivy education, in a professional field such as nursing, would give you that a State U couldn't. That's all. I really don't think he meant anything by it.</p>
<p>thomas- I live in DC, where there isn't an adequate state university. While DC residents get in state tuition they don't get the acceptance rates, and I'm lucky enough to not have to worry about paying for college</p>
<p>LOL...gosh, apparently I'm not the only one who has a "stick up their a**" :)</p>
<p>ThomasH32: That still does NOT justify him using extremely offensive language.</p>
<p>I completely understand.
Listen, I spent two weeks with people "dogging me" on this board because I am going to any Ivy League. I had to listen to all of the preaching about "Don't go to an Ivy League based on prestige or rankings, blah, blah, blah".
First of all, if someone is going to an Ivy League for its education, or for its prestige, who cares. Either way, you're still attending one of the best schools, not only in the country, but in the world (regardless which Ivy it is).
I'm have chosen to go to an Ivy, because I am in my 30's, and I spent the last 12+ years living in the "real world". I know how cruel people can be. Life is hard and competitive enough without a prestigious college degree. Everyone needs as competitive of an edge as possible. If going to an Ivy gives a person that edge, I am 100% for it. I know we all live in "fantasy land" at times and tell ourselves that the world will be nice to us because we are a good person. Well, I'm hear to tell you that the world doesn't work that way. The world is going to judge you based on where you went to school, who you work for, etc. etc. Believe me, I wish it wasn't like this, but, there's nothing any of us can do about it. If you want to go to an Ivy becasue of its prestige, go for it. It will serve you well in the long run.
Okay, now that I've gotten all of that out, I feel much better. Thanks for letting me "vent".</p>
<p>Economist...you're absolutley correct. He had no reason to use that kind of language.</p>
<p>Haha Thomas, you're always welcome to vent here!! :) </p>
<p>And FYI I wasn't really trying to be a *****, it's just that I've seen homeboy post stupid inconsiderate things before, and apparently he doesn't seem to take kindly to suggestion...therefore I felt I needed to tell him that he was being uncouth in language he'd understand (even if he didn't mean his comment as a diss).:D</p>
<p>im gonna apologize (only for my language) becuz on another thread some people have been bashing me and i was angry....i needed to vent. I still think you were being a jerk nicky because how could you tell if my question was mean or not?</p>
<p>I didn't KNOW your question was mean but as I was saying before I think you should be more aware of what you're saying and how it might be interpreted...it's kind of an important skill in life to not come off as rude. :D</p>
<p>I would have to agree with NickyJane18.</p>
<p>ElCommando: Even if you were angry at people bashing you, that still does NOT give you the right to use abusive language. This is similiar to an argument used by individuals who are abusive to their families. They say that they themselves were abused by their parents when they were kids. But the fact is: it doesn't matter. Likewise, you need to take responsibility and accept your mistake (and not blame others for YOUR inappropriate behavior).</p>
<p>it's just that I've seen homeboy post stupid inconsiderate things before</p>
<p>Like what?</p>
<p>Umm, I distinctly remember you using the word "queers"...among other things, no need to list them, I'm too lazy. :D</p>
<p>Don't mess with Nicky, she's my girl! :D I didn't know you got into Penn, though! That's so awesome!!! :)</p>
<p>Aww Hotelie,I <3 u!!!! That is so sweet of you to have my back internet style! Hahaha...I know I sure as hell wouldn't mess w/the Cornell posse!! :p But yeah, yay penn, they love me more than Cornell. :( Unrequited love sucks. LOL</p>
