<p>I find it hilarious when people ask me where im going and im all nonchalant that i am a tiger. Theres nothing like acting like an idiot, wearing stereotypically unsmart clothes, and talking to someone about your future. Here's an actual convo ill never forget:</p>

<p>So what are you doing after summer? <em>probably things ill be flippin burgers</em>
Im heading out to college.
<em>he's surprised</em>
Nice, where are you going?
A little place in jersey.
Rutgers?
Psh No
<em>critical look on his face</em>
where then?
Princeton.

Princeton.
<em>cough</em> wow congratulations. <em>is thinking, </em> is the world coming to*</p>

<p>haha anyone have similar experiences?</p>

<p>when people around here found out Iwas going to P-ton, I damn near had to pick up people's jaws from their feet. They were all choked up and forgot how to speak. Then again, it's not very common around here in the "ghetto." It was like a miracle for a kid from Bpt to be going "Ivy" Two years ago a girl went to Cornell and had the news all over her, then last year another went to Yale and this year they had me going to Princeton and another girl going to Harvard. I must say people were shocked and they are even more shocked at how modest I am about going to Princeton. I just don't like to feel that I am bragging but I am VERY proud to be a Tiger, though I'm still prefrosh right now!! :D</p>
