Stereotypical CC Posts

<p>I know. I hope being a private-eye isn’t her day job. Stick with quilting and befriending cats.</p>

<p>My mom wants me to go to Harvard!! I know I have a 2350 on my SATs and over 250 hours of community service and 3 pages full of ECs…but I just want to go to Lehman College!</p>

<p>My mom got an A- in her lamaze class :(. Are my chances at HYPMS ruined?</p>

<p>Even though I go to this nerdy website, I think you’re a geek/loser/nerd/dork/social ■■■■■■ because you don’t act like a drunken ass and smoke trees 'til they blaze all Thursday-Friday-Saturday night. I bet you’re a fat, fugly VIRGIN as well! HAHAHAHA ****in luser!</p>

<p>I’m taking 4 AP courses and self-studying 4 more. I’m working two internships and have 500+ hours of community service. It’s my senior year and I don’t want to miss out on the parties. Will I have a social life?</p>

<p>And then all the Jersey sucks/Cornell sucks threads.</p>

<p>At my school, we get to pick a name for our senior parking spot. I chose 4A 4B 52 – my initials in hexadecimal. This may not apply to you very well, but pick something unique.</p>

<p>“How do I find a gf being an engineer?”</p>

<p>4.0 mech eng major
ca community college with tag/igetc</p>

<p>chance me for santa cruz, riverside, and merced!</p>

<p>“BUMP” (lol this is me)</p>

<p>“I got a 2400 on the SAT! should I retake?” (sadly not me)</p>

<p>I can’t decide between Fashion Institute of Technology and UCLA Film School! </p>

<p>[complete lack of information about poster’s life that might give people a clue how to help poster]</p>

<p>“[top ranked university in Country A] versus [top ranked university in Country B]?”</p>

<p>“I’m an overbearing intellectual who wears coke-bottled glasses, has the hair of a chia pet, and snorts when I talk…why don’t girls like me?”</p>

<p>And don’t even get me started on those obnoxious abbreviations and internetisms. Ex: “my S/D…”, “HYPSM”, “bump”, “10 char”</p>

<p>Columbia totally doesn’t deserve to be in the top 4 of the US News Rankings. It somehow invalidates my worth as a human being if Columbia is now considered one or two places higher than my own top-10 school.</p>

<p>You only have 100 posts and i have 10,000, so your a ■■■■■ and dont know anything.</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>I’m a parent who lives here and i run this.</p>

<p>^Wow, methinks thou doth protest too much. Pretty soon, people will actually think you’re a college student. Good Job!</p>

<p>I’ve only personally known one true CC-er and this is his/her story:</p>

<p>OMG I have a personal recommendation letter from a respected professor that I worked with over the summer at MIT and I have perfect scores in everything and omg I have this disability which I have obviously overcome to achieve my almost perfect scores in almost every class. I DON’T THINK MIT WILL ACCEPT ME. MY LIFE WILL BE OVER BECAUSE IT IS CENTERED AROUND WHAT VALUE ADMISSION BOARDS GIVE ME.</p>

<p>Day of Early Action Decisions: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.</p>

<p>YEAAAAHHHH ACCEPTED. (note: “accepted” is in huge font and in red text.)
…I’m going to wait for the rest of my school decisions in December. Y’know, something better might come up; maybe I’ll get enough money to consider going somewhere else (however inferior).</p>

<p>(In the meantime: Every single high school homework assignment is now referred to as a “problem set” and if this person is commenting on your wall, you can bet it’s going to slyly or blatantly mention the fact that s/he got into MIT.)</p>

<p>Mmhmm. I hate you, CC incarnate.</p>
