I Love Columbia

<p>even though i'm not even a hacker geek anymore. it just seems like the word.
oh well. i'm sure i have many more typos.</p>

<p>Youngboysigh, you are the scum of human society. A piece of S H I T.</p>

<p>Please excuse me for making that comment but I am really outraged (I usually refrain from such name-calling...but you deserve it).</p>

<p>Being highly critical of someone else and demeaning their beliefs while boosting your own self-importance is the very sign of a pathetic human being. It is BRWNEYES87's right as a collegeconfidential user to vent out her feelings, but it is not your place question and attack her beliefs (religious & personal) or her aspirations.</p>

<p>I am glad Columbia rejected you and now I why. Before heading to ANY college, I SERIOUSLY (No joking here) suggests that you get some counseling/professional help because a person making a comment like that really needs it.</p>

<p>youngboysigh.. you can say whatever you want.. it's just a matter of your own opinion.
u can try justify urself and go against what other people and myself love. quite frankly, that is none of ur business.
and if u think all those things then that is fine by me, u can the one to not CONFORM.
who really cares.. </p>

<p>whatever bitter feeling you have from being rejected from columbia has seriously taken over u, and i suggest u seek some help.
go to sarah lawrence or wherever the f^ck you want, but DO NOT tell me or browneyes or WHOM ever else that they are pathetic for wanting to go to columbia.</p>

<p>we can like or love or worship columbia for WHATEVER reason we choose and that HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH U!
I love new york city and it has been my dream to go to college there, do NOT undermine that.
and just because i choose barnard over nyu, u have no right to call me pathetic or whatever u called me saying that i am only after a "rad city" and a name.
U have NO IDEA what i want, and why i choose what i choose, and how i make my decisions. And it does NOT concern u.</p>

<p>Your attempt at making your self feel better didn't work.. and your post was rather useless..
i hope to never have to come across u ever again!</p>

<p>to BRWNEYES87.
i know you're in love with columbia, and i wish you the best. however, i wish to caution you on the whole prospect of "i think i'm going to die if i don't get in" mentality. i was exactly like you back in october, when i applied EA to yale. i was so thrilled; an east coast ivy, science/humanities combination, it seemed all too perfect. and then the rejection letter came back. and at first i was deeply hurt that they didn't accept me or even defer me, but like you said, i was probably in denial. but that kind of denial is the worst; it stays with you. it festers and it rots, and it causes a whole mess of psychological issues inside your head. really, it does. and my advice to you is that you get over the whole "thisismydreamschoolican'tgoanywhereelsebuthere" thing. let's face it: you're going to college. you're luckier than over half the population on earth. count your blessings.. try not to obsess over one college, because it really isn't the end of the world. i know, it seems like it would be, but try to be rational.. "i will be crying, really crying, not just tears coming down my cheeks, but my heart wrenching and my breath stopping and my arms and legs banging on the floor".. really.. if you think about how little this acceptance or rejection letter means.. it'll put things in perspective for you.. </p>

<p>anyway, this doesn't mean that i don't wish you the best. in fact, i hope you get in, just so you can show these pseudointellectual people that you're not who they think you are.. you're better. :) good luck to you.</p>

<p>"it seemed all too perfect. and then the rejection letter came"</p>

<p>exactly my case too.
i loved columbia with all my heart and soul... even despite some youngboy's claims that i pretended i was in love..</p>

<p>no no no such thing.
anyhooo i can't reiterate my point any moree... it all works out
whereever u go ull be so happy and relieved.. and u will find your math and then it's a dream come true and u will realize how lucky u are.
fortunately, even tho i was crazed and obssessed i got over the rejection really well with no damage lol
keep loving it but just dont over attach urself.. the come down is quite hard afterwards if u get disappointed.
but having said that if ur strong... it will all be ok.</p>

<p>Umm.. i dont go to a jesuit high school?? whered u get that?</p>

<p>also, i was not trying to push a religion or anything. i was really just asking you guys to pray for me--or hope or wish for me. Thanks to those of you who are trying to bring me into the reality. i guess i went a little overboard, but i love columbia. hopefully i'll get in. if i don't i'll suck it up. I am not imagining this love though. i love the feel of columbia. i should have also applied to barnard! i wish i had. i want the ivy league, big city, pretty school, nice dorms, etc...feel. anyways, im gonna stop posting until i find out my decisions. thanks for all your support...or some of your criticisms and.....um...insults...but i still wish you all the best...talk to you soon</p>

<p>I knew you were a girl! Not that it's pertinent. . . .</p>

<p>Good luck! I have no religion, but I knew what you meant. Feel good about yourself no matter what happens. But of course, hope for an acceptance and give yourself a big congratulations if you end up getting one!</p>
