C02 is case in point, looks like the 12 year old boy who vomits at anything girlish or cute hasn't quite left him.

And I don't think that C2002 was gagging at Sex and the City but at the 'i want to attend Columbia because of Sex and the City' logic behind that post.

<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>"I get what you're saying, but I think that's a very risky advice. It's an uphill battle to separate the two angles as soon as you mention Sex and the City. It's a fine favorite show but it shouldn't be anywhere near your essays."</p>
<p>it hardly is, i just put this together:</p>
<p>'Surprisingly my eyes were only first opened to cosmopolitan life after watching sex and city; boy was I unaware of what diversity meant and how I benefited from it. Today too my definition of diversity does not have clear lines, but I a feel a thrill and an enthusiasm from being around people who misunderstand each other, who view events and conflicts from widely different angles, who disagree on something as basic as whether you should study in the morning or at night....' - take it from there.</p>
<p>I put this together in 30 seconds, so it probably makes for a bad essay, but separating the reason from the realization shouldn't be tough at all. Others are right that your essay should not be a juvenile glorification of sex and city.</p>
<p>If you're gonna go so wide about it, why even include Sex and the City at all. It brings nothing. Cut the first sentence and you still maintain the same idea.</p>
<p>But can we all agree that Sex in the City is a great show?</p>
<p>The movie was okay.</p>
<p>i absolutely despise the cheesy narration by SJP... its always the stupidest most cliche stuff...and y must she always wear the most heinous or ridiculous outfits?</p>
<p>I suppose I should try to hide the fact that I watched the show with a standard 'my gf made me' (she didn't for the record- she mocked me for it) but I got into watching the late 2am reruns last year before going to bed. It's alright. Nothing I would put on a college application but good enough so you tune in instead of watching star frit infomercials. </p>
<p>The redhead annoys me (she's not hot, she's not nice or funny...she's just f'in unpleasant all the damn time).</p>

</p>
<p>well you must admit that she is at least the most attractive of the four....</p>
<p>the others just prove that women can get laid no matter how ugly, old, flat or butch they are.</p>
<p>What?! Kristin Davis FTW. </p>
<p>The cougar's got a thing too....I saw her in the first Police Academy when she was like 25. Very nice indeed.</p>
<p>ohhh...the redhead is miranda....yea she's the butch one....</p>
<p>i guess we totally agree then ....charolotte is the hottest </p>
<p>dude, u know way too much about this show :P (not saying i don't)</p>
<p>I apologize for nothing! :D</p>
<p>I've never seen the show -- or even parts of it. But SJP looks like an ugly little runt in person. I've seen her a bunch of times at an Italian restaurant I guess we both frequent, and it amazes me that anyone would cast her for a TV show.</p>
<p>makeup and botox go well together. </p>
<p>That said, I loved her outfits. Although she managed to pick out the ugly Manolo's</p>
<p>I'm sure is wearing makeup and is botox'd up when she's out and about in NYC. The cameras are always on. She's just ugly.</p>
<p>Alright so I had forgotten that I posted on this thread and just checked back today. Let me clarify my prior statement. I don't want to go to Columbia because I want to live like Carrie Bradshaw. I started watching Sex and the City, I started thinking about cities, I started visiting colleges in cities, I started to think I wanted to go to college in a city, I went to VISIT Columbia because it is in Manhattan, I FELL IN LOVE with Columbia for very different reasons than that. Hopefully that run-on sentence clears up any ditzy or "vomit inducing" impressions I may have made.</p>
<p>ETA: I most definitely was NOT planning on mentioning Sex and the City in my essay or my "why columbia" short answer.</p>
<p>Quick question on this subject, sorry if it's stupid or been answered already:</p>
<p>Would it make sense to include individual poems as well as entire books, because although I love my Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry deeply, I have no intentions of actually reading every single poem. So I can I cite three or four favorite poems? Also, does reading Shakespeare for fun sound absolutely ridiculous\fake?</p>
<p>i would just write the anthology...it makes little difference whether you've read all the poems or not. Putting individual poems will just take up too much space and they're not really asking for poems. I think a poetry anthology would be a refreshing change of pace from what they normally see. </p>

</p>
<p>no. it def passes the smell test...unlike c-span</p>
<p>Charolette (sp?) >Samantha > SJP > redhead </p>
<p>And I really do enjoy having C-Span on in the background. I prefer the Senate to the House. The talk shows suck, but Book TV is usually interesting.</p>
<p>Is Charlotte the one with the black hair? Cause if so Fastfood15's ranking is totally correct (even though Charlotte's not that pretty either. And Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a foot!---according to Peter Griffin).</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, Shraf.</p>
<p>Charolette (sp?) >Samantha > SJP > redhead </p>
<p>Second! Charlotte is my favourite and i cant stand Miranda. Love her hair colour though.</p>
<p>personally, I think its Charlotte>Carrie>Samantha>Miranda.</p>
