Announcing my official break from College Confidential

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello friends,</p>

<p>As many of you know, I vastly enjoy offering tips and advice as well as pointing out the hasty generalizations of others on this board. I have spent a lot of time perusing the board and looking for answers on the Internet to various questions. </p>

<p>Now, just a few days before the UC applications are due, it is time for me to take a break. College Confidential has become my #1 tool of procrastination. So, I respectfully take a leave of absence from the board. I will return when I have actually finished a complete rough draft of the personal statement.</p>

<p>Your friend,
Gabe</p>

<p>Wow, you're way behind.</p>

<p>Yah, you shouldn't waste so much time trying to prove you're always right. This is what you get for acting so arrogant. I hope you miss the deadline btw...</p>

<p>Well, he still has over four days to complete his personal statements. It's not like he's in trying to produce a novel in that time span.</p>

<p>"Well, he still has over four days to complete his personal statements. It's not like he's in trying to produce a novel in that time span."</p>

<p>He probably won't have enough time to get other people to check it = rejection. </p>

<p>Always be prepared, Gabe, always be prepared...</p>

<p>"He probably won't have enough time to get other people to check it = rejection."</p>

<p>It doesn't take long for a person to revise a paper--even if it requires numerous revisions. I should think it wouldn't take too terribly long to obtain a person to revise his personal statements even if he lived alone in the mountains, away from civilization.</p>

<p>But if that were true, that's what internet--and this forum--is for.</p>

<p>IWannaIvy,</p>

<p>Not only do you talk out of your rear, you're bitter and rude. Nice combo.</p>

<p>"Not only do you talk out of your rear, you're bitter and rude. Nice combo."</p>

<p>That probably only encourages him. :)</p>

8

<p>Sadly, you're probably right.</p>

9

<p>IWannaIvy is not worth it, guys. Save your brain cells for something else.</p>

10

<p>"Not only do you talk out of your rear, you're bitter and rude. Nice combo."</p>

<p>I don't understand how simply having contrasting views from your own qualifies me as a bitter and rude person.</p>

<p>Sorry for having my own opinion, I guess?</p>

11

<p>And here it is.</p>

<p>IWannaIvy is not worth it, guys. Save your brain cells for something else.</p>

<p>I think it's fine, considering the numerous posts I've seen saying how amusing IWannaIvy is.</p>

12

<p>yeah u're pretty sorry.</p>

<p>There is a difference between having contrasting views and just being an a--hole.</p>

13

<p>"IWannaIvy is not worth it, guys. Save your brain cells for something else."</p>

<p>And this is coming from a person who will argue everything to the death.</p>

14

<p>"There is a difference between having contrasting views and just being an a--hole."</p>

<p>Wow, not once did I ever call you any cuss words. Thanks for regressing to junior high...What's next? You're going to call me "four-eyes?"</p>

15

<p>"And this is coming from a person who will argue everything to the death."</p>

<p>Shall we say he's learned his lesson from trying to force an ignorant person realize his own ignorance?</p>

16

<p>I thought this was to be a forum open to discussion but apparently its turned into a place to attack those with different views...Horrible...</p>

<p>I only seek the truth.</p>

18

<p>If 'truth' is a euphemism for winning arguments, then your a truth seeker by all means =)</p>

<p>Don't act innocent, Ivy. </p>

<p>“This is what you get for acting so arrogant. I hope you miss the deadline": I have never seen someone post something so patently mean-spirited on these boards. Not only do you present yourself as a jerk, but you also dispense poor advice.</p>

<p>Open discussion and attacking people with the vehemence you've shown are two different things altogether.</p>
