<p>You could also ride aboard the "Small World" ride at Disney World</p>
<p>Ooh! That's my grandpa's favorite!</p>
<p>Yeah..my grandma listens to that song all the time and I bought her a snow globe of it for christmas a few years back</p>
<p>lol, as fate would have it, logistics, I now can't think of TASP without "<em>gasp</em> it's TASP" going through my head after all of your marvelous gasping on the TASP board. :]</p>
<p>And..you got me, evil. :] See where the chillaxin comes from now? Ironically, I'm not someone who's very "chillaxed".</p>
<p>Haha, you just need to calm down there chillaxin. It's easy to get all stressed out about high school/colleges but you have to remember the important things in life like your family, friends, and religion. Chances are that you're going to get rejected from every Ivy you apply to and Stanford, just like everyone else, because college admissions are just so unpredictable and competitive today. So, keep aiming for the sky, hope for the best, ENJOY your teenage years, and remember the worst thing that can happen to you(with your stats especially) is that you will end up at UCLA. Remember, your parents will be proud of you no matter what and you should never let a college shape who you are. Your character and convictions will become a lot more important when you get to be like 70 years old, not what college you went to. Keep life in perspective.</p>
<p>My $0.02 for the day.:)</p>
<p>I believe you're confused about the type of person I am, evil. Frankly, I'm not doing any of my ec's for college, but rather because I love every single one of them. I love being busy, and I'm having the time of my life right now. Trust me, I know what it's like to have your life utterly revolve around family, friends, and religion, but I didn't have enough time for what I liked to do. That's why I believe that on the most part, I'm enjoying this year so much more than last year when really truly, my life did revolve around those three things.</p>
<p>All hopes and dreams are idealistic -- that's why I don't really like the "What are my chances?" thread very much other than for people to point out weaknesses that I can work on. I was just saying a few days ago how everything I'm working for is what makes me happy. I'm incredibly lucky to know, at 16, what I want to do for the rest of my life and to love it. The Dream is so much bigger (though I won't say what it is here), and it combines my love of community service and science as well as my activism against child abuse and poverty. College however is a big part of everything that I love -- it's basically like TASP for 4 years. :] And that, my friend, is an amazing thought.</p>
