<p>Dear Wesleyan University,
I never really considered going to your school until I researched about your Mathematics-Economics program. I slowly fell in love with you as admission decision day approached, and I am over-joyed that you accepted me, despite my unspectacular SATs and GPA. Maybe you saw something in me, but maybe I was meant for it… and not the other schools I initially hoped to be admitted in. Thank you for giving me that chance. You won’t regret it.</p>
<p>Dear UCLA/UCB/BC/UVA/USC,
I don’t care about your rejections anymore, I’m meant for bigger things at Wesleyan and you’re the ones who lose out on rejecting me.</p>
<p>Dear Senioritis,
BE GONE DAMNIT I NEED TO PASS SENIOR YEAR</p>
<p>Dear USC,
Thank you for accepting me and giving me a presidential scholarship! You’re an absolute beast.</p>
<p>Dear Mom and Dad,
To put it simply, thanks for being the best people on the face of this earth. I know I ignore you sometimes when I’m on my computer all day, but I love you both to death and I hope we can spend as much time together over the last few months of school and summer. You don’t know how much I value your support and guidance, and I WILL make sure to tell this to you guys.</p>
<p>Dear Duke,
Well, thanks for rejecting my a**. After all the effort I put in to my supplement essays, and after all that interest I show, I don’t even get waitlisted? I know this was a tough year for you, but it’s absolutely sickening when you accept students who don’t spend a goddamn minute on their Duke applications, and then reject, let alone waitlist, students like myself, who go out of their way to ATTEMPT to get in to your institution. </p>
<p>Dear Sharks,
Please win the Stanley Cup for me this year. THANKS!!</p>
<p>I feel empty. I need something new to do with my life, besides school, clean, church, home.
I’m tired. -___- and sad.
I want high school to be over.I think that beyond this bubble, I can be more. I hope that is true.</p>
<p>I really love this thread because it shows that even though we all come from different areas of the country, or even world, we all face the same problems and insecurities. I was super worried about going to college out of state at a private school and being the token poor girl. I feel better now because I know we all face the same problems. </p>
<p>As for my little rant:
Dear mom and dad,
Please stop making my college decision about which of you I love more. I wish I could just make up my mind without “splitting up our family” or “letting him win”. It’s stressful enough without that kind of pressure on me. I’m clearly going to pick my dream college that I was lucky to get into that costs the same as the in state university. It’s not personal, it’s my life. You’ve kind of ruined my decision making process and now I feel like no matter where I go, I chose the wrong school. You don’t need to have panic attacks and go back on medication because I’m moving away. You’ve known about this for the last 18 years and you made the choice to treat me like poop my whole life and be emotionally abusive. Too late, I’m moving across the country. No regrets. See ya. </p>
<p>Dear “Trifecta”,
Yes you guys are smart and score well. You kiss teacher’s butts all the time and are the top three in our class. However, you have no social skills and I never see you doing much for fun. You can’t carry on a normal conversation. So no, you probably AREN’T going to be more successful than me in life, especially since I got into my reach school and you all did not. You pestered me everyday for a month on whether I got in or not. I did, you didn’t. Hah. Quit treating me like the dumb blonde. </p>
<p>Dear MUN,
Thank you for being partisan (does this count when not referring to political parties?) and completely biased today. Of course those 3 would win, they spoke the most. Why did they speak the most? Because they were the only people you chose to speak!!! I don’t think I deserved to win those awards, but there were definitely other delegates who deserved it much more than they did.</p>
<p>Dear “in” crowd,
How does it feel to be an exact clone of everybody else? Do you not wonder what if feels like to be an individual? Maybe I’m just jealous that you have someone to hang with every weekend, that you’re parents actually let you hang out with people, that people look up to you and want to be your friends. Maybe I’m just insecure and bitter. I look at you and say “Just wait till college, we’ll see who’s on top then” but then I realize that since these same people in high school will go to college it will probably be the same thing, and that I’m probably deluding myself. Apparently, you will always win.</p>
<p>Dear boys,
What is it about me that you don’t like? Why is it that you hit on all the girls surrounding me, and completely ignore me? Am I just weird? Is it because I don’t fit any stereotypes? I’m constantly told I’m pretty and beautiful by other girls and adults and family members, but to tell you the truth, I long for the day, when one of you will say the same thing. Its stupid and petty, but I feel like boys just don’t find me attractive at all. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???</p>
<p>Dear self,
Why are you so insecure? You’re constantly given compliments and assurances of you intelligence and poise, and yet you still feel worthless and wonder if everybody secretly hates you and talks about you behind your back. Grrrrr, get over yourself. Stop being depressed, stop hurting yourself. And SERIOUSLY STOP PROCRASTINATING. Its beginning to have serious negative consequences. Also, why can’t you be as eloquent and well-spoken in real life as you are in your head? Oh, and why on earth did you buy a dress that freaking short???
From, other self</p>
<p>Dear mom,
I know that it’s hard getting money to help me with college, but maybe you should have tried putting aside a bit of money for me before my senior year in high school. You can’t even be responsible enough with your money to keep even a semi-decent credit score, so you’re going to be absolutely no help cosigning my loans. You have a good job, a good salary, and you couldn’t stop your horrendous spending habits enough to help your children? I hate to think what my little sister is going to go through when she starts applying.</p>
<p>Please don’t kill me. I’ll be missing school Wednesday through Friday this week for an arts festival that the school is paying for me to go to. I’ll be missing Monday and Tuesday of the following week for tennis districts representing the school.</p>
<p>Thanks~ Rayna</p>
<p>We have A/B days so we have classes every other day for 1.5 hours… which means that each day is like “2 days” for non-A/B schools… so that’s like 10 days in row that I will be missing. TT_TT</p>
<p>I’m not going to post mine, because it’s in excess of 3000 characters, but it certainly felt good to type out my hateful thoughts. Maybe now I’ll be less aggravated all the time. :)</p>
<p>You *<strong><em>ed up. Why the *</em></strong> are your grades so low? Why didn’t you listen, why didn’t you work harder? You know where you want to go. You’re not getting it. You’re arguing with your parents, so cold and heartless. You can’t make a connection with a girl. You don’t want to go to prom. You’re anti-social. Your own mother said she feels like she lost ‘you’. Where are you at man? You’re letting people down, you’re not you anymore. I know it feels like life sucks and you feel like dying, and your hearts been broken for a while, but just think, you’ve got people who love you, and they’ve been keeping you alive. Come back man, they want you and need you.</p>
it makes me so sad to see the smartest kids in my grade ending up at Western Washington University…</p>
