<p>What has happened to the Cafe and High School Students forums? For that matter, I don't see the Home School forum either. Is CC has paring down?</p>
<p>Those forums are all still here. You are probably already in past them and no longer see them as an option. Try clicking at the first (left most) option at the top of the page: "College Discussion" and they will appear. If you've already clicked in as far as College Admissions and Search you won't see those forums you mentioned.</p>
<p>Yup, you were right. I left the forum for a few minutes and when I came back---there they were....Sigh...feeling foolish now...ignore me---LOL!</p>
<p>Venturing into the cafe can be deadly, however, Poetsheart. I was merely ignored but some of the parents who write more eloquently and can catch the attention of the younger crowd got into some down and dirty fights!</p>
<p>However, the thread in the cafe called something like "the worst college essay titles" is hilarious. Some of the suggestions are not for the faint-hearted, but I've laughed out loud at many of them.</p>
<p>Oh Gosh,now I have to go look. if I'm not heard from in 24 hrs., come in and get me.</p>
<p>I'm back. There are 10-12 inspired ones down there but several that make me ill. Yuccck.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, you would do us all a favor by cutting and pasting your favorites up here ;), you know....to protect your internet friends from the dangers of the cafe. I for one am NOT going there.</p>
<p>I read the first half of that thread. My favorite Worst College Essay Title from among those I read:</p>
<p>"Why and Who I Fixed My Grammar For"</p>
<p>It's the only one that actually made me laugh out loud.</p>
<p>That thread could use some quality control, but there are some very good essay titles there, like. . </p>
<p>"Dear Safety School"
"Things my dad can buy for your college"
"Why I Hate People"
"We can a learn a lesson or two from Jessica Simpson"</p>
<p>and several in questionable taste that are still pretty funny</p>
<p>O.K. just a couple. On the acceptable humor list "How to procasti</p>
<p>On the vulgar list "Instead of an Essay-Here's a Photocopy of My A#@"</p>
<p>On the insensitive list ( and there are several candidates) but I would have liked "ADD:My Battle....Hey look, a bird!" except I didn't. Like it. Because it was insensitive. </p>
<p>The biggest surprise may have been that most weren't funny at all. Crude, like a "Porky's Movie" but not very funny.</p>
<p>Oh ,I forgot another one "D's =A's,My High School's Complex Grading System".</p>
<p>Here are some that I found funny:</p>
<p>"How I learned the difference between murder and Manslaughter"
"Dogs: The Solution to Third World Hunger"
"Life On The Seas: My Experience as A Carribean Pirate"
"How the CIA killed JFK" - with half your essay censored
"Have you meet my fist: The lifestory of my mother"
"I assume you like having two working knee caps"
"My Two Dads: Why I'm GLAAD I Shot Them"
"The Art of Suicide: How I'll Be Dead When You Read This"
"Battle With My Dyslexia"
"ADD: My Battle...Hey look, a bird"
"Mental Illnesses are not funny and other myths"
"things my dad can buy for your college"
"Disassosiative personality disorder: our story"
"D's = A's: My High School's Complex Grading System"
"Chico, My Most Unforgettable Cellmate"
"How I Overcame My Disadvantages: Being a white-upper-class kid"
"Why I want to go to Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/CalTech"
(before sending in essay, circle one)</p>
<p>Students come to the Parents forum, but i guess it doesn't (safely) work the other way around for the cafe ;) ?</p>
<p>Haha, the Parent's forum is much more formal and professional. The Cafe is a jungle where you can be shot on sight and be scarred for life. Enter at your own risk :).</p>
<p>That's why we keep lobbying for a Parents Cafe. I did laugh at a couple of titles, thanks all for saving me from that place.</p>
