<p>if we all go to stanford, we'll have to switch our networks to AT&T because verizon users get absolutely no service at stanford AHH</p>
<p>so im thinking about investing in an iphone</p>
<p>hahaha I know, but thankfully, my 2-year contract will be up by then ;)</p>
<p>Yesterday my friend asked me: where do you want to go school?
I said Stanford
Then she said you will be a tree</p>
<p>haha it was really funny to me at the moment. (The Mascot Unofficially is a tree)</p>
<p>the mascot is unofficially a tree because Stanford is situated in Palo Alto, which means One Tree in Spanish.</p>
<p>i thought palo alto meant big stick…
haha, that could be taken so many ways. i’ll stop here. :)</p>
<p>I thought it meant tall stick, but I suck at Spanish.</p>
<p>Yeah, it means tall stick in Spanish. Palo Alto was probably named that because of all of the big trees or “sticks” in the surrounding area.</p>
<p>Verizon service is fine all over the Stanford campus and surrounding area.
You can visit the actual “tall tree” that Palo Alto is named after, just a few blocks from the Stanford mall.</p>
<p>well I guess my joke wasn’t funny. it wasn’t supposed to be a debate about the origin of the word instead imagine saying to someone: Hey I am a tree! (or cardinal)</p>
<p>I know only stanford from the movies</p>
<p>Palo Alto is named after one specific tree</p>
<p>god i want to be a tree</p>
<p>think of all the good we’d be doing for society if we were trees!</p>
<p>and whoever said verizon has service at stanford probably has a very special phone because mine and none of my friends’ phones worked there</p>
