<p>Can anyone who got accepted scan and upload their acceptance letter (block your name and address)? I need to make an acceptance letter to pretend that I got accepted into cal poly, so that I can live in SLO without my mom getting upset that I am not attending college. </p>
<p>I’m currently at student at SDSU, but college is not for me and I can’t move out unless I am attending college somewhere (well I can because i’m over 18, but my mom will get depressed if I move out without attending college somewhere). I moved out last week on Tuesday and my brothers were telling me how my mom was crying and saying that I’m giving up on my life because I’m not attending college, etc etc. So I moved back and currently taking a semester off (though I don’t plan I attending college anymore). </p>
<p>Basically I want to live in SLO without upsetting my mom.</p>
<p>You don’t need an acceptance letter rather you need a serious chat with your mom. If you are dropping out for good, its your choice. But have the courage and decency to stand by your choice and explain your decision to your concerned mother.</p>
<p>I also think its insulting to ask for Cal Poly acceptance letter here so you can fake it and drop out. Lots of people worked very hard to earn that letter.</p>
<p>Also, given CP is a CA public institution, faking this will probably make it a crime somehow for you and the person that supplied the letter.</p>
<p>different schools have different atmospheres…some have a big duesche-bag population who get under one’s skin - others have a serious contingent of unhappy peeps who want to argue incessantly - there are even one’s with an amazingly mellow vibe and and atmosphere of inspiration and passion for experiencing new things…these institutions can bring out the best in young adventurers and allows for a level of self and world discovery that one may not even know they crave until they are immersed.</p>
<p>take it from someone who did not finish college (me), I truly wish i had ‘explored’ more and I now know I would have if I had transitioned to a different school…perhaps really attending Cal Poly SLO is the happy medium that would turn you on and dial down your mother’s over bearing ‘needs’…</p>
<p>by the way - your mother is only partially right…as far as college is the only way to make something out of your life…</p>
<p>life without planning or direction truly makes every bit as much of an impact on your future as a life with structure and discipline…</p>
<p>regardless of how or what you define as ‘success’, you will get what you plan for…plan for success and it will happen…do not plan for success and it will not happen. Again, the only definition of merit to the term success is the one you supply…</p>
<p>regardless of what you end up doing, may I encourage you to take aim - otherwise you are aimless and that creates the life that those who care about you are fearing…</p>
<p>make a difference ftw123, you have it in you to locate your passion and share it - go for it!</p>
<p>You could always just attend Cuesta College (JC that feeds into SLO and really close to CP) just a suggestion. I heard over 90% of Cuesta kids get into Poly as transfers. </p>
<p>I already talked to her, but she doesn’t understand. She cries and yells at me, telling me that i’m throwing my life down the toilet by giving up on college. I’d rather pretend that i’m attending a college elsewhere, so that my mom can be happy, instead of her knowing that quit college and her being depressed and mad at me. </p>
<p>I already made a fake letter, but I don’t know if it seems legit enough, so I would rather have a copy of a real one. If no one will supply one then I guess I will have to use the fake one I made.</p>
<p>I don’t think OP’s problem is having hard time defining “success” or simply attended the wrong university or insufficient exploration. </p>

<p>Basically I forgot to set my alarm for 6 am for Thursday and I slept in and it was to late to make it to class on time to take the exam.</p>
<p>I emailed the professor and she responded back stating that I can’t make up the mid-term exam."</p>
<p>And it is inaccurate that 90% of Cuesta college student gain admission in CP, transfer success rate is mostly dependent upon academic performance, not the JC you attended. And Cuesta might actually close down/merge with any other JC because they might lose their accreditation.</p>
<p>Dude you are an awesome ■■■■■!! In the last year or so that I’ve been on CC, I’ve never seen such a unique ■■■■■ approach. I am sure you will sucker in a lot of folks for a lively discussion over nothing. Nice job!</p>
Problem is this: I define success differently than my mom. To my mom success is getting at least a bachelor’s degree and a high paying job. All I care about is being able to support myself and being happy. I’m not much of an outgoing person, so I don’t really need much to make me happy. I literally can work a minimum wage job, live in my car, use free wifi at starbucks on my laptop (for entertainment),and pay for car insurance, gas, and food. I know it’s expensive to live in SLO, but with that lifestyle I can make it work. But at the same time I want my mom to be happy and she won’t be if i’m not attending college. If my mom “thinks” i’m attending college, then she will be happy and everything will hopefully work out.</p>
<p>I could try to talk to her about going there but I don’t know how she will feel about me transferring from a university to a cc. I could tell her that I really want to go to cal poly slo for a major that isn’t offered at my school and tell her that I’ll be guaranteed a spot at cal poly if I transfer from cuesta college. This might be better than me using my fake acceptance letter to cal poly.</p>
<p>dude, in the order of WORST idea to least bad:</p>
<p>fake acceptance letter > living in car with minimum wage job in SLO> totally blowing SDSU and dropping out > transferring to JC and reset your life> talking with your mom and working out a solution together</p>
<p>Dude, you seriously sound lost and mentally not in a good state, and dont make a life changing decision when you are all messed up in the head bro.</p>
<p>And by the way, girls don’t dig dudes who live in car with minimum wage gig (assuming you dig girls).</p>

<p>Yea my mom also thinks something is wrong with me. She thinks i’m depressed or something, but I think i’m perfectly fine. I haven’t made my decision yet and I won’t be pretending to go to college until the fall (maybe summer). I plan on getting a job first, work for a while, and then transfer my job to a location in SLO.</p>
<p>I think I have to agree with your mom on this one. </p>
<p>Just think if you want to go pee in the middle of the night while you are living in a car…BIG problem bro.</p>
<p>And dude, if you are planning to use your lap top for entertainment, just think if your car get broken into and you get your lap top stolen. That’s it man, entertainment gone for good. You won’t make enough to buy a new one. </p>
<p>Not sure if you know, I heard SLO police are very strict and living in a car is illegal.</p>
