why is everyone on the Chicago forum so friendly?

<p>I just read the "why does Chicago have such weird essays" thread...
heartening.
When I posted my chances threads on this site and then on the What Are My Chances posts,
I went back to this one for the textual equivalent of hot chocolate on a cold day.
We're just so friendly!</p>

<p>Yay! Warm fuzzies. I also feel that the posters on this particular college niche of College Confidential are much friendlier than elsewhere. We all rock.</p>

<p>hey, this is a stupid waste of a thread. hows that for friendly? :-)</p>

<p>Awww. That's unfriendly. If you're not happy with the content of a thread, don't read it. It's not that hard.</p>

<p>ha!
i love how quickly this thread degenerates into what i haven't been seeing before. Gracello, I don't think Smirkus was being too serious.</p>

<p>The '09 posters were a mix of pretentious SOBs (<em>coughBrinestormcough</em>) and friendly posters, and the '10 posters were a bit crazy (<em>coughesquaredcough</em>). The '11 group just seems to be pretty laidback. :p</p>

<p>I read a few old threads and I must admit- esquared was hilarious. He/she would be a great person to have a conversation with. I'd like to compare him/her with candy.</p>

I actually laughed at that one. </p>

<p>We don't want to forget the illustrious NickZoahNickZoah from the '10 group. If you look at the EA thread for this year, a very high percentage of CCers got in. That probably contributes to it.</p>

<p>I only became a CCer after I got in though, why else would I read a college thread about a college I am not in?! I don't care about "chances" because its just an excuse for people to crap on your life and schoolwork! Therefore, I would think people would only want to post if their child goes to that school, they are a bored alum/current student killing time, or got in and are eager to learn more about their alma mater...</p>

<p>i must agree; esquared was pretty awesome. I guess this is the year that all the sandal wearing, hemp smoking, commies apply to U Chicago! You know who you are!</p>

<p>oh god, i will be miserable if my class is full of hippies... god do I hate hippies. Please, showering is good, hour long jam-a-thons get boring as hell no matter how much pot you smoked, and communism doesn't freaking work, so stop saying it does! (esp. because U of C has one of the most conservative economic departments in the US, IMO).</p>

<p>But I do enjoy a good hemp necklace or a sturdy pair of sandals.. I don't smoke pot, but I do enjoy spinning around till I get really dizzy- if it counts.</p>

<p>All Chicago people are friendly? I beg to differ.</p>

<p>I, for one, happen to be a cold-hearted bitca with the emotional capacity of a pygmy shrew.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>just the other day I accidentally ran into a girl that was accepted to chicago. she picked me up by my testicles and *****-slapped me back to the ground. </p>

<p>you guys should watch out for margie juno. she's one bad chick and she knows her derivatives.</p>

<p>haha, yeah, I guess I am a bit of a wacko</p>

<p>im fixating on the "hot chocolate" analogy..mm..</p>

<p>Omg- It's Esquared!!</p>

<p>Esquared - how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in ages!</p>

<p>"Sandals" hasn't equalled "hippie" or "commie" since I was in college--and that was quite some time ago. My son was accepted EA and will probably attend, he wears sandals year-round (it is 10 degrees here today), and he is most definitely not a commie.</p>

<p>You have given my a ploy to get him out of those sandals, though. Maybe he will reconsider if he thinks it labels him as a commie. Probably not, though, since he is not afraid of being different.</p>

<p>Esquared? Will you bear my children?</p>
