Who's applying for Spring transfer 10'-Cornell?

Transfer Students

<p>Reading my psych textbook about social thinking, which is very interesting.
On another note, it is liberating to say that I made a huge mistake in replicating the dimensions of Da Vinci’s Bacchus painting for my painting class, and I don’t care, because it doesn’t matter anymore. Nothing matters anymore!!! Disclaimer if a Cornell admissions person is reading this: I’m still going to do a perfect job of replicating it despite the error and will probably put more hours into it than anyone else in my class because that’s who I am! :D</p>

<p>I need to make an obligatory Cornell post since this is a Cornell thread…Since the apartment I wanted is now gone, do you think it’s still possible for me to request an on campus housing assignment at this point? I REALLY would prefer a single though. My boyfriend informs me that there are tons of single bedroom apartments in the Collegetown area, however, and not to worry, although it seems that they’re already signing leases for next year’s semesters -_-.
Edit: I specifically put myself down as off-campus housing in my CSS profile and app, hehe. So they won’t be giving me a housing assignment or whatever, I assume, if I get an acceptance.</p>

1262

<p>Well if it’s not possible to get on-campus housing at this point, a lot of us are in a pretty bad predicament.</p>

<p>Not to worry. As I said before, I asked Ian about it and he said there’s more housing available in the spring than there is in the Fall due to graduations and study abroad and all of that other good stuff.</p>

1263

<p>I’m finishing my short story for my creative writing class. I’m happier with it than I was my Cornell essays.</p>

<p>This saddens me.</p>

1264

<p>Someone said that my Emory supplement was better than the one for Cornell.</p>

<p>That saddened me…</p>

<p>Maybe you felt too much pressure when writing the Cornell essay?</p>

1265

<p>That is terrible.</p>

<p>Just so Lacey doesn’t feel alone…</p>

<p>I was a ladybug.

<p>Though, nothing can be last year when I was a “stop” sign along with my friend who was a “go” sign. We won the halloween costume contest at school… No big deal or anything…</p>

<p>not sure if those even worked? Darn my ineptness with computers</p>

1267

<p>Yea, they didn’t work.</p>

<p>BTW, does anyone else in here watch the Venture Bros?</p>

1268

<p>Well…I just finished watching Dexter.
Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Pics are on my FB.
Good nite…</p>

1269

<p>I’m having a meltdown…</p>

1270

<p>=( Pourquoi? Nervous about decisions?</p>

1271

<p>Aw, jemma, perk up, it’s almost…Monda-wow, nevermind, now I see what’s depressing.</p>

<p>I’m going to kill my little brother for being impossible to live with. How hard is it to hang a wet towel up when you’re done? And how hard is it to use the pair of headphones I GAVE YOU instead of stealing my brand new ones, then when I ask where they are, you claim you have no idea!?</p>

<p>…Incidentally, I’m getting a lock for my bedroom.</p>

<p>My Psych paper was very much BS’d in the last two hours. Though guaranteed I get a 93. That’s how psych works, haha. I love most of the readings though, really gets you thinking.</p>

<p>Lacey, I won’t throw things at you or insult your attempt at changing the topic away from Cornell talk. :slight_smile: But I might throw a snowball at you and everyone else once we’re in Ithaca.</p>

<p>My current television addictions: Bones/Fringe/Glee</p>

<p>My current hatred: Baseball for preventing me from viewing these programs this week.</p>

<p>Oh, TFN, here’s those tips my friend revised me on. :wink: He practices them every weekend for the last year and a half and still has a great time with everyone.</p>

<p>1) The people you hang/go out with have to KNOW AND RESPECT that you don’t drink. Otherwise, none of it works. Remind them consistently if need be (or if new members go out with you).</p>

<p>2) At clubs, don’t be the awkward guy in the corner, nobody likes him. And don’t attempt to drink or get involved with those who are <em>only</em> drinking, because that’ll end up being awkward for you by not drinking. Dance! ((Though does anyone know how many clubs Ithaca actually has…? I don’t think many…but I’d love to go to some if they do.))</p>

<p>3) At house or frat parties, never trash talk that you’re good at or down on drinking games. Shying away from the topic of drinking just brings a weird vibe. You don’t have to be drunk to enjoy yourself! For instance, I play pong, but someone drinks for me. It’s not cheating, it’s just being apart of the party. Unless you run into really intense, go-by-the-book kind of guys who are always wasted out of their minds when they play drinking games, you won’t be hindering anyone by having some fun without consuming it.</p>

<p>4) Gold star for my man on this one, haha. Buy a fruit juice or some type of similar container from a vending machine. Drink half. Carry it around the night at a party. To most, it’ll look like you’ve got a mixed drink, which will avoid pressure and questioning from those who don’t know you or who might be drunk out of their mind XDD</p>

<p>5) Most importantly, just because you don’t drink doesn’t make you better than people who do (no matter what level of drinker they are, from social to heavy). Thinking like that gets you nowhere and is just not true! Fun can be had with any mix of people and any level of drinking, wherever you’re comfortable should be fine with your friends AS LONG as you’re still having fun. ;-)</p>

<p>And now that you guys all know my tips, keep 'um secret. keep 'um safe. And don’t try to shove beer in my face, hahahaha.</p>

<p>Just in case I provided the wrong impression for some, don’t think that I care if anyone drinks, I definitely don’t, and i love parties/being around people no matter what (unless there’s a drug-type scene, that I find very sketchmuffins, so leave me out of it.)</p>

1272

<p>^^^No one cares about you and your exorbitantly long posts. Get out.</p>

<p>j/k</p>

<p>There. Now does everyone know that I’m just kidding? :(</p>

1273

<p>I like the word sketchmuffins. Also, I am the little sister, and have never taken my sister’s stuff except for now because she’s in Japan and won’t be back for a year, and I ask her before I take her stuff =D. The reasons she gets annoyed at me are for eating unhealthily, not exercising enough, and for not letting her use the computer when we go on vacations I’m the only one who brings along a laptop…that is not my fault.
I can’t drink or party at RISD. Each time you get caught being within like 10 feet of alcohol, your parents get sent a letter (my parents are super conservative…) and you have to do a community service thing. If your violation is large enough (or if you violate enough), it gets put down on your record. You can get suspended or expelled. And if you get kicked out of on campus housing as a freshman or sophomore, you’re kicked out RISD, because it’s mandatory to live on campus during those years. Public safety regularly patrols the halls and sometimes does random room searches.</p>

</p>

<p>Well, it’s nice to know fascism didn’t die with Mussolini.</p>

1275

<p>Lol, I guess it’s kind of necessary. Some students really do fulfill the druggy art school kid stereotype. Also, we have a ton of Korean students, and they deeeefinitely fulfill the whole drinking ridiculous amounts of alcohol stereotype…
Still, I don’t see why they can’t just let it go. If you’re caught in the same room as alcohol they’re like, too bad, just don’t hang out with your friends on Friday and Saturday nights, or get some new friends lol. Now write a letter to us saying why you need to think about your future in life and how alcohol is bad.</p>

1276

<p>well i dont drink at parties either, Water…well sometimes i do but i dont enjoy drinking so yea. but i dont have a whole list of what to do to prevent from being kicked out of the group. lol i just say “i cant drink.” or “i have to drive later (which is the case)” or come up with some joke that let me get out of drinking situations. last night too. i had to take my bud who dressed up as a chick (which was hilarious) to his house coz i was the only who was sober at the party</p>

<p>i feel like someone is going to receive the envelope tomorrow…</p>

1277

<p>Now that I think about it, I have lots of drug and alcohol stories regarding my freshman year roommate that I really need to share with you guys sometime. I think you’d all really enjoy them. Of course, I didn’t get involved with that stuff because he pretty much served as my anti-drug.</p>

<p>Az, I could see why it’s necessary, but that would just get really annoying. I also don’t see why my parents would need to be involved. Once I hit college, I pretty much thought of myself as independent, and so did my mom. Sure, she would be disappointed if I got into that type of stuff, but she’d let me make my own mistakes and hopefully learn from them.</p>

1278

<p>Hahaha, valvsu, that’s exactly what I do. But my friend runs into a lot of pressure at a party school like Siena, even as the most outgoing kid there (and his dorm’s president) he still runs into people who will poke/prod/complain when they find someone not drinking. They’re not tips to live by, just some precautionary stuff in case you run into odd situations.</p>

<p>I for one, wouldn’t really have to use many of those tips myself, except for the one about not being the awkward one at the club, loll. I just smile and people forget what they’re doing (…I guess that makes more sense if you know me.) Nor would I say those are tips to avoid being excluded from teh groupz (if they were, you have a pretty sad bunch of friends to hate you for that hahaha). Besides, every group needs a designated or two, so they should welcome your presence ;D </p>

<p>@east:…nah, that still came off hurtful. <em>goes to cry in closet</em></p>

<p>@Az: sketchmuffins is something I say decently often. I also use ‘pourquoi’ instead of why, fyi, haha. And that sucks about your school, that’s ridiculously strict. My friend goes to Houghton in western NY (christian-catholic school) and they do stuff like that. Her Facebook status today was ‘■■■. My college blocked ■■■.’ So they’re quite strict…one trace of alcohol and you iz gonz. I can’t understand why they’d do that at your school in particular. Art doesn’t mean free expression anymore I guess, lol.</p>

<p>I feel like someone is getting an envelope…by Friday. I feel as if all of us would say ‘dibs…AH DIBS NOT’ given nobody wants to get rejected, but we all still want to know so bad.</p>

1279

<p>Az, I was having a meltdown and now I’m just cranky for the following reasons:</p>

<p>a) I wrote the wrong address on the envelope for Vassar (which contained the high school transcript). I wrote Vassar College Office of Admissions Poughkeepsie, NY, wrote the wrong zip code (I wrote the zip code used by the office of admissions) and to make it even more splendid I forgot to write Box 10 on it :frowning:
b) I wrote the exact address on the Vassar FA forms on the envelope that contained some of my FA forms. When I got home and checked their website I realized they omitted the Box 8 part from the form and now I’m positive I had to write it. :frowning:
c) When I sent my application for Vassar I realized I had a typo in the CA Ec section (Editor-in-cheif :S). I changed it for Vassar but unfortunately it was too late for Emory and Cornell. Now I feel I most definitely will be rejected because of that.
d) I can’t find my mom’s tax returns and I need them ASAP for the FA. If I ask for a copy it’ll still take up to a week the earliest and the latest a few months to get a copy.
e) Cornell’s decisions starts today …</p>

<p>Ugh, I wanna kick myself in the butt!!! I was so ready for Cornell but somehow for the other schools I feel like I was slacking off!!! I AM STRESSED. I know the reasons above are fixable (except Cornell’s lol can do much about that and the Typo HORROR) and I’m in the process of correcting everything. But Gosh darn it I need to breathe!!! </p>

<p>And it sucks about your school, but I see why they are strict. They are trying to not have the stereotypes of arty students are soo free and wild lol Still the more you ban something the more ppl want it. Its human nature. I say put some limits but don’t void it completely. </p>

<p>Oh, and just realized, how will Cornell AOs know who each of us are? when most of the nicknames are a bit cryptic. I’m screwed, mine is pretty easy…I’m sure they must have a way, wonder what it is…</p>

<hr>

<p>On another note,</p>

<p>Water -n- Valvsu, Glad to know that I’m not the only who doesn’t drink. I’m a rare breed in PR. My reason is simple I just don’t like the taste of alcohol lol (Well it was to be expected when I don’t even like soda and I only like water hahaha) Usually, they don’t notice that I don’t drink because they say that my hyperactivity compensates for the lack of drinking hahahah Either way by 1 am and beyond the sleep monster attacks and I feel drunk without drinking. Though grt tips from your frnd water. </p>

<p>Water, I completely understand your little brother situation. The only difference is I’m actually the youngest and its my older brother (who is 13 years older than me btw) who gets on my nerves. His latest attempt to annoy me, he broke my mom’s DS (yes my mom has a DS, I’ll tell you someday of her adventures with the tech world and the modern hip hop world hahaha its funny). My mom confronted him and he blamed me!!! He uses it 24/7 and I broke it??? Ugh! How many times does he goes into my room and takes my stuff. How many times has he brushed with my toothbrush because he forgot which one is his (Even though mine is purple pink and his is blue uuuum hellooooo) How many times has he lost or broken my stuff ( RIP Xbox, Cd Player, Mp3, PSP, etc) so so many!! Wow I needed to vent hahahah Love him but man does he get on my nerves…</p>

<p>Ok I’m done hahahhaha sorry for the stressful post. I promise I’ll be a much happier later today. I was having a total I-will-be-rejected-by-Cornell mood yesterday :S </p>

<p>Happy happy joy joy!!! <em>Rocks back and forth frantically</em></p>

<p>Btw, Glee the tv show ROCKS!</p>
