<p>On this momentus occassion i would want to dedicate my 1000th post to my first and only love...</p>
<p>It's been now almost 6 months since we met. Our meeting was coincidental. I was searching for the perfect college and she, for the perfect student(s). I wouldn't call it love at first sight...Ill be honest. I had doubts in my mind the first time, but over a period of a week she certainly proved to be the right match for me. So we started seeing each other for 2 months. We had a great time. We did have our differences at times, like over her financial aid policy, but then again, its arguments like this that keep a relationship going. It was on November the 1st that I proposed. I proposed to her with 3 beautiful essays and a list of achievements, for I knew they would go down with her better than the stereotypical roses.</p>
<p>It took a mighty long time for her tell me her answer...1 month and 15 days to be precise. I spent sleepless nights waiting for her answer. I didn't want to be rejected by my first love. I began to think if all the fantasies I had nurtured would end up as mere fallacies.
She was awfully stoic during those few weeks leading to the moment of truth. I even thought she had dumped me for a more intellectual person. Would this be how it would all end? A rejection letter </p>
<p>The last few days leading up to the 16th were as dreadful as when I was awaiting the results of my Grade X marks. I would cry frequently. My mother would tell me that there was an entire world out there with many terrific loves to be explored. But I knew it...she was the ONLY one I could ever love, which probably added to my nervousness.</p>
<p>It was 3:30am when I was going to hear from her. She would finally speak to me after a long hiatus. A great wave of trepidation swept over me as I checked her verdict. The 4seconds my computer took to access the page were perhaps the most agonizing in my life. And then all the fear was drowned by a flash flood of joy...SHE HAD ACCEPTED ME!!!</p>
<p>We have been going strong for 3 months now and I can boldly say that there's more to come...</p>
<p>I, thus, dedicate my 1000th post to her and this, dear friends, is my token of affection to her...Cornell, apart from maybe a 4.3 GPA at her home.</p>
<p>congradulations! (although I already know that you were accepted ages ago)
Keep up the good work, and remember to tell me how it's like in Cornell!!</p>
<p>Anybody who has strong sentiments for his/her alma mater is entitled to dedicate his/her 1000th post...as long the dedication is original, it makes no difference...the point is that u feel for the university, and tend to develop a bond with it.
And if u think dedicationg ur 1000th post has a 2 post history, then guess again...because many people have done it in the older version of CC, my cousin who's at princeton being one of them.
I don't even see why u made that statement...tell me me one thing, do the 2 dedi's have absolutely anything in common...while the other describes how excited the poster is about attending princeton...this is more a peice of creative writing actually describing the past, not the future like the other poster's.</p>
<p>4 years later you two will be married...maybe 3 years if you're that willing to stay up late and work all nighters to win her heart..
good luck!</p>
<p>i liked it.. but i'm going to pretend that i don't approve because now i realize i haven't devoted myself to her as much as you have. i'm.. jealous of your relationship. dang.</p>
<p>EVERYBODY GO SIGN UP ON CORNELL'S 2010 WEBSITE!!!</p>

<p>I am stressed because it's decision time! I got rejected from Cornell after being deferred ED. It truly sucks...I just wish they would have rejected me in the first place...:,(</p>
<p>Stop being mean to him. He hasn't done anything mean to anyone so just leave him alone. Just be happy for everyone that got into Cornell and for all of the students loving it there!!! IM SO HAPPY! LOL!</p>
<p>haha figgy, you cant even BEGIN to comprehend the relationship i have with arjun
i think it is my obligation to put him in his place and show him the way of the American college</p>
<p>yep...thats certainly true ducky.
In fact most of the guys who know me since i entered the CC Cornell community in December, would agree with duckey and me on this.
for instance, had it not been for ducky here, i still would have been congratulating you on getting "through" Cornell.</p>
