<p>haha good myspace crack...
the whole "when you apply" BS really doesnt matter, and doesnt affect whether you get into summer school or get CAP'd. i applied very close to the deadline, and got into summer school, whereas several people more qualified than myself got CAP'd, even though they applied back in november</p>
<p>wooo baklava my mum REAMED you x)</p>
<p>I'm happy that I have a mother who cares enough to be involved in my college application process, and I'd honestly appreciate it if you and your ignorance ceased to perpetuate the notion that everyone under the age of 21 is an idiot.</p>
<p>Well, I don't know where all this talk about being lazy and stuff came from but whatever. You can tell the hospital patients I organize activities for and serve food to 3 times a week how lazy I am, maybe they'll tell you otherwise. The more I think about where exactly I'd like to go to school, the more I realize it's not about choosing the very best school, but the school that's best for you. Fifty years down the road from now I don't think I'm going to say "Well if I'd only chosen THAT undergrad school, things would be so much better" No matter what school I go to, I know I'll work hard and manage to be successful. The only difference in schools really is the amount that you're able to enjoy the experience. You only get to go to college once so you might as well make it great. </p>
<p>When all is said and done who cares whether "US News" thinks your school is ranked #2 or #200? I still have to choose between Florida, Georgia, the CAP or Wake Forest but I don't think it's a decision worth agonizing over because I know that I will be happy at whichever place I choose. I had an amazing time in high school and I didn't even get to choose which one I went to. Perhaps it's possible to be happy no matter what your surrounding are (shock! horror!) Sure going to Harvard would be great but is there some law that you NEED to go to a top university to be happy in life? At the end of the day I think I'd rather be selling peanuts at a baseball game with a huge smile on my face then contemplating suicide as the executive Vice President of corporation. I know this all sounds weird but today I had a conversation with a Corner Store clerk that told me he's the happiest man alive because he loves his life. It sort of put things in perspective for me.</p>
<p>word, or one could just drop out of college altogether and still be succesful and happy</p>
<p>i think that brings up a great point that everyone, including myself, has seemed to overlook until now... college is supposed to be the best 4 years of your life. youre supposed to make friends that you will be able to share memories with in 50 years, and you wont be learning just academia, you will be learning about who you are and how you want to live your life. make it memorable, and make it fun. choose your path, and i implore you to choose what makes you happy, not what the hiring director for the next big shot company thinks is right. you all seem to be great people, and you will get what you deserve in the end.</p>
