<p>I wonder if anyone wrote 'Princeton Student' for the two words describing them :P</p>
<p>I'm sorry that some people didn't enjoy this section because it was my favorite. Even if the admissions officers didn't pay much attention to this part of the application, they had the courtesy to remember that we're essentially kids and we could use any opportunity to personalize our app, not feel like a statistic during the year when the highest number of people are applying. Anyway, that's just my two cents :-)</p>
<p>Favorite Book: Everything is Illuminated
Favorite Movie: You Can Count On Me
Favorite Website: imdb.com
Favorite Line From a Movie: "We're the real countries. Not the boundaries drawn on maps, the names of powerful men. That's all I've wanted...an Earth without maps."- a shortened version of a quote from the English Patient. I was freaking out b/c I couldn't fit the movie title on the online app!

<p>love the mulan quote... i persoally went with finding nemo "just keep swimming"</p>
<p>Man the end of Life is Beautiful is rough to watch...when I saw it in class I was trying to hold back some tears!!</p>
<p>I know the end can always make me tear up.</p>
<p>^ your fave keepsake was a part of your brain? :S
...in french 'hippocampe' is sea horse... are you french speaking?</p>
<p>We watched Life is Beautiful in my french class last year because we were doing something about media. One girl said she saw the movie 4 times, and the end still made her cry :P</p>
<p>The Hippocampus deals with memory...</p>
<p>...OOoh. so your favourite keepsake is your memory? smart and weird... lol</p>
<p>i'm regretting my quote in hindsight since there is profanity implied: "I've had it with these ** snakes on this ** plane." Hopefully they have a sense of humor :(</p>
<p>Mine was "60% of the time it works every time" lol I don't think it matters at all. Unless your quote is something like "Princeton is the worst school ever" which it is obviously not.</p>
<p>Hahaha ungst I don't know why but that was very funny.</p>
<p>Yeah, the favorite keepsake/memento thing was weird. I said that it was the cute sea-horse-shaped part of my brain where all my memories are, so I don't need an actual thing to remind me of them. Or something to that effect...but more eloquently-worded.</p>
<p>Hahaha "Princeton is the worst school ever." If I were an AO, I would laugh for like 10 years at that.</p>
<p>Well maybe 9.</p>
