<p>lol... he looks somewhat old too...</p>
<p>Does the word "GAY" ring any bells?</p>
<p>I'm sure you'd be able to sex up lee stetson even if you didn't go to penn.</p>
<p>uhh maybe im just teaching pyar some anatomy and human sexuality.</p>
<p>everyone has to learn somehow</p>
<p>i was being sarcastic lol, i should have said how does that work if you are a straight guy lol</p>
<p>(yourbfwantsmee i dont need any teaching unless you want to show me :p)</p>
<p>The first paragraph of my essay talked about why I want to go to Penn in particular. Back between 10th and 11th grade, I had my LSD phase. I would take a few hits every day. Every one of my hallucinations contained either Penn's campus, Philly, South Street, Ben Franklin, or Stetson.</p>
<p>The second paragraph talks about why I want to study at CAS. I had a conversation with my dad and it went like this:
"Dad, you did engineering for 5 years right"
"Six"
"Ok, I have 2 questions for you. 1. Does engineering use lots of math"
"Yes"
"2. Does engineering require lots of thinking"
"Yes"
"Guess I'm not doing engineering"
"That probably would be for the best"</p>
<p>That's pretty much my "Why Penn" essay.</p>
<p>that wouldn't been funny if it weren't so ass-stinkingly long</p>
<p>what? /* asdf */</p>
<p>UGH somebody help me before i burst a vein</p>
<p>"that wouldn't been funny if it weren't so ass-stinkingly long"</p>
<p>either you should have said "would've" or I am really dense.</p>
<p>yea i meant "would've" lol</p>
<p>i have a headaaaaaaache make it stoooooooooop.</p>
<p>I checked, but i don't have any left over vicadin from my wisdom teeth extraction. That really assuaged the pain and then some.</p>
<p>ooh i remember when I got them pulled out two years ago, a lot of druggies tried to buy them off me.</p>
<p>haha, some were reaaaaally desperate. I ended up giving them to my mom like a good girl</p>
<p>The rest of my essays were pretty crazy and creative, so I kept my "why penn" pretty straight forward and academic. I wrote mostly about interdisciplinary study and Penn's Germanic Languages department. Yeah, probably typical, but that's why I want to go there and I think it's a pretty good reason. I think this is one of those essays where they really want to see the truth.</p>
<p>I wrote about slapstick comedy, how'd I spend my days at Penn, and why Penn would want me.</p>
<p>My intro was a general description of me and my inquisitive nature...
...I fully immerse myself in each endeavor that I undertake, and exert all my potential into grasping the story behind the front cover, the contents within the jar, the motives beneath the plot.</p>
<p>After that, I say that... CAS would allow me to study anything that I want to pursue... I could take engineering courses b/c of the interdisc. approach... Good social scene... I would take adv. of Penn's activities (DP, etc)... Philly<3 = lots of culture... Extensive study abroad programs, as I might want to study in Spain or Argentina... The end.</p>
<p>I think mine was pretty standard. Everyone else's seems really good. Meh.</p>
<p>I have always wanted to be a scientist, particularly a mad one. I wanted to be just like the stereotypical Dr. Frankenstein, complete with the crazy crackling laugh and the strange hairdo.
Over the years my ambitions have changed little, however. I still want to become a scientist, albeit not a mad one. </p>
<p>This is the start of my Why Penn essay. Its not that great but I thought my beginning was pretty OK. The rest of the essay sucks!</p>
<p>Random Fact: the stereotypical Dr. Frankenstein is nothing like the actual one from the book</p>
<p>i suggest you read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley it is an excellent book</p>
<p>I wrote about Ben Franklin's will and all the stuff he did during his life. and how penn is like that, or something. I dont remember. Its been a long month.</p>
<p>The fact that you don't enjoy thinking (venkater) and mentioned it in your essay might end up hurting you.</p>
