Shirley OP can’t be serious. This could be some pretty good satire of an over-zealous college confidential poster.
How did I miss this gold mine of a post? Absolutely beautiful!
First of all you’re just a freshman. Take a breather and enjoy life a bit while you still can.
Second of all, I can kinda see where you’re coming from because to a lesser degree, I can relate. It’s like you work really hard but there’s someone out there who doesn’t and yet is having a great life and it makes you resentful.
What you do need to realize is that someone will always be superior to you and life isn’t fair. Cliche but true. Especially if you make it into HYP and wanna continue to law school, you’re gonna have to accept that fact. If you hold your current attitude, you’re never going to be happy no matter how achieving you become.
My point is, find a motivation and happiness that goes beyond competition. You’ll be much better off that way
Not sure whether OP was serious.
If so, then I suggest seriously reconsidering your viewpoint, as previous posters have said. I have had a fair share of “existential awakenings,” and in fact, the only thing that I realized from them was that that doing things obsessively for college is not good! Don’t get sucked into that culture. Life is more than just a college acceptance.
OP, are you serious? Seriously, dude/girl, get a life.
Was this written on your 501st day of sunburn?
I really hope the original post full of self-pity & sense of entitlement is satire; otherwise, it will DEFINITELY get you rejected.
First of all, get over HYP. Just get over it. Unless you are Malia Obama, getting into any of those schools is a crapshoot for anyone, no matter how smart they are. Your happiness, socioeconomic success, and worth as a human being are not tied to HYP. Only during the last couple of months of HS senior year does anyone cares about bragging about where they’re going to college. Then it’s over, and everyone moves on.
No one cares how HARD you work. Working hard, in and of itself, is a waste of time. Working smart is the way to go. And you will find in your career as an adult that personality matters a lot. Hardworking drones are easy to replace. People who have social IQ in addition to book IQ are the ones who rise.
I don’t understand why CCers assume that having a perfect GAP or perfect SAT or something along that line will assure them a place in the
*ivies, same as @GMTplus7 your happiness should not be tied to getting into HYP, successful people have com’s out of every type of college even community colleges
Not sure if you’re a boy or a girl, but if you’re a boy, a nice solution would be to date that “goddess” girl. If you really want to screw her over so you can win president, just screw her and get her pregnant, but I don’t think that’s a very good solution. Try to work together and grow from interacting from her rather than hating on her. If you’re a boy, you might get a really good additional reward as well.
