<p>Lol, Lipitch, petulant much? This whole thread was meant to relax people by thinking about other fun goals they’d like to accomplish and take their minds OFF college. that was the whole challenge in the first place. This is CC, you’re all here because you want to go to college in the first place. So either they didn’t see the challenge, or they’re much too obsessed to let go (or too boring).</p>
<p>I think that I should have given the thread a different name, tho - “non-college goals” would have made more sense I guess.</p>
