<p>i feel ya celebrian!</p>
<p>yeh celebrian u have a point.....</p>
<p>see, my issue is...my parents planned ahead (like the smart little parents they are) and then ended up spending all that money on this boarding school. So i guess it's time for me to get a job of my own.</p>
<p>hmm but what job will get u like 40k a year ???</p>
<p>im just thankful.. to god.. to my parents... that i'm privileged enough to even THINK about going to college..</p>
<p>do u realize guys... how lucky we are.. and how PRIVELEGED we are?</p>
<p>... we... who are dying to go to columbia... MOST of the world's population worry bout getting a decent meal.. having clean water....</p>
<p>we.... on the other hand.. are stressing about getting into a top institution..</p>
<p>wow... when u step back like that.. and look at the whole bigger picture.. doesnt that put things into perspective a lot??</p>
<p>now isnt THAT being REALISTIC?</p>
<p>The infinite wisdom of Chris :)</p>
<p>:) aww kiki!!! hello there.. back from school?
lol guess what im doing..
yes im being an insane idiot and not going to bed..</p>
<p>columbias giving me the sh1ts.. cant sleep. got a stomach ache.. feel sick.. wanna puke.. freaking out and stressing out.
got a french oral tomorrow morn.. ahh ill fail..
mauybe ill speak bout columbia?</p>
<p>but um... yes... bigger picture.. gotta keep that in mind...</p>
<p>indeed. or we can think about a very close person to me who got into 3 or 4 top universities, yet couldn't go there because of <em>gasp</em> money.</p>
<p>yet somehow he still found himself at the college he did go to...</p>
<p>now doesn't that seem happy that he could do that at a normal college, and deal with it all there, when he DID get in?</p>
<p>what i didnt understand a thing u said just there sam..</p>
<p>??
huhh?????</p>
<p>"now doesn't that seem happy that he could do that at a normal college, and deal with it all there, when he DID get in?"</p>
<p>I perfecftly agree with you....it's "knowing" that You have the capacity to get in that's rewarding. With that kind of feeling in a person, that person will feel good through-out whichever college.</p>
<p>lol, that's because i am rambling. I tend to do that. It makes people fall asleep lol.</p>
<p>I was just saying how he got into like, Brown, Harvard, Yale, Columbia...yet couldn't go to any of them because of $$...and how that would be worse than getting rejected. At least I think so.</p>
<p>but he's happy.
so there..</p>
<p>I didn't say it was impossible...and you shouldn't try to understand a situation you're not in. I have a sister in college, my parents are divorcing, and I can't make more than $6,000 working. Which isn't a lot off of $40k. And my point was, making 40k is considered the line between poor and middle class when it comes to colleges.</p>
<p>Maybe you shouldn't make assumptions celebrian....I have siblings as well both paying $17,000 in tuition. My parents are divorcing and now we have two mortgages. Yet, you don't see me wallowing in self-pity. Stop with your pretentious ********.</p>
<p>I'm not. See it as you will. :p I'm too happy to worry about what a stranger thinks of me. I'm sure your life is rough too, everyone's is. And I never said yours wasn't.</p>
<p>Yes...we are very luckey people!!!</p>
<p>My life isn't rough, I feel incredibly blessed. I'd prefer an apology to trying to make it out like you're taking the high road.</p>
<p>You don't deserve an apology. :p</p>
<p>Who are you ? Who am I ? From Where did I come ? Who is my mother, who is
my father ? -- enquire thus and you will, then realise that the entire
world of experience, all the worries and problems are but a dream, a
mere hallucination, born of imagination and delusion. With such a
realisation, you will be freed from the delusions of the world.</p>
