<p>Senior year is here for me and I really just can't wait to get out. I've applied to everything that is the exact opposite from where I'm from. It's so exciting! I don't mind being bitter...... high school is antiquated and torturous.
My College List:
Vassar
Bard
Wesleyan
Emerson
Eugene Lang
Brown
Will I see any fellow high school outcasts next year? ;)</p>
<p>You should add Sarah Lawrence College to that list. It is the land of high school outcasts! </p>
<p>And I TOTALLY feel your pain on that one. I live in Los Angeles, Car Capital of America. Wait, even worse: the suburbs of it. The city I live in is just south of LA, and it is your prototypical family-oriented, run of the mill place. It's pretty segregated, and I'd say a good 90% of the kids at my school don't know a thing about what lies past the city and the mall. Everyone sticks to "their own", and a lot of them are afraid of LA because their parents think that going up there, they will either get shot, raped, or any variant of the two. It is your typical support-your-country, believe-what-everyone-else-does-and-be-against-every-type-of-free-thinking-possible. </p>
<p>I swear I was born on the wrong coast. I've had an obsession with trains and buses from a very young age, and I find hot weather depressing. I walk three times as faster than anyone else, and I only know directions by intersections and public transit lines. I'm an extreme pacifist, an athiest, and pro-choice, and pro-alternative transit. I also think Disneyland is overrated. My opinions, lifestyle, and the fact that I live all the way across town from everyone at school makes for me being an outcast pretty much. </p>
<p>In short, get me away from here, I'm dying!! I think I was secretly born in New York City, and psychologists wanted to do an experiment, and switched me with some kid who probably hates New York. I've been near obsessed with Brown since I was in 10th grade, and seriously get excited at any mention of it. But I'm only a junior :(</p>
<p>Well Good Luck with Brown. Sarah Lawrence was on my list but its my best friends first choice and she didn't think she'd get in if i applied so I didn't. But yea I also have the curse of the fast walker. haha</p>
<p>hahaha.. you guys are funny</p>
<p>Hahaha. Why does everyone hate you? Maybe you provoke them?</p>
<p>Why don't u go to Columbia? my heart is set on NY. i've never been to LA but i don't think i'll like it. I'm not a beach type of girl nor the whole LA scene; but my mom loves it</p>
<p>Aww... a stick of gum is the cheapest way to make friends... :)</p>
<p>^ and even perfect scorers get rejected from Columbia... It's not a matter of whether you want to go or not, but whether they get you in or not...</p>
<p>Thats 7 cents a friend. Idk if i can spare that much</p>
<p>I'm a little bit the same way, but not everyone hates me. They think I'm a creep, but since I know that, it's much easier to socialize with people. I have found a few other students who don't like the whole radical conservative scene of my town. I've been accepted to UChicago, so hopefully I can escape.</p>
<p>I can't wait to get out of FL</p>
<p>D:</p>
<p>^That's funny. One of my top choices is actually the University of Miami and I am going out of state to get away from my home state as well. lol. I guess everybody wants to leave their home state.</p>
<p>Try moving from Atlanta--big, interesting, bustling city--to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Very depressing.</p>
<p>NYU, Columbia, Barnard--all calling me. Two years is so far...</p>
<p>Is everybody on CC liberal? Im conservative but i know ivy league is totally the opposite</p>
<p>^What kind of conservative are you? Are you the stereotypical homophobic Christian radical conservative? Or are you the type of conservative who has seriously contemplated the issues and has decided that limited government is more effective? If you're the latter, there are plenty of those on CC. If you're the former, I'm sorry you feel that way.</p>
<p>I agree with proposition 8, pro-life, and i'm christian but i don't believe if your not one you're going to hell. I'd like to think I am a free believer when it comes to Christianity. A lot of the things Bill O'Reily says i agree with. But being AA doesn't help a lot of us r liberals anyway</p>
<p>Everyone in my high school doesnt hate me, but i cant wait to leave. A lot of my friends are seniors and im a junior, i cant wait to get out of high school and go to art school in the city. I live in suburban Nj, which would be fine if i had a car, but i dont get my license till july 30th of next year and the only things i can walk to are farms. I am a city person and have been going to ny, bmore, or philly almost every week for the past few months. I cant wait to live there so i can go to more concerts and not have to worry about driving 2 hours to get home. Also, i am a photo kid, the outcasts of the art kids. I'm also a liberal in a conservative county of a liberal state.</p>
<p>Add Penn.
Everyone there is really smart but really friendly, brah.
You shouldn't have trouble there.</p>
<p>lol, thanks for saying brah and making my day :)</p>
<p>Im in the same boat. All of the HS kids that i know are really pretentious and have no intellectual pursuits (IE, the spend all of their time watching MTV and getting high or they are "future medical professionals", but thats another whole topic). So I have one friend at school, and he is moderately dependable at best, and were somewhat separated. My best friend is my 33 yr old step bro, we hang out a lot and just shoot the **** or drink some obscure alcoholic thing like belgian beer or fambaue. All of my other friends are 30 year old waitresses where I work. After work we hang out, talk, its fun. Some of them are very interesting people too, and 2 are really smokin hot. Needless to say, Ive pretty much moved on from the social scene at my HS.</p>
<p>They wouldn't hate you if you were likable. </p>
<p>That might of seemed ignorant, but think about it for a moment.</p>
