why my friends should listen to me

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>regarding CC.</p>

<p>constantly now that i've been on CC, and my friends and i talk about college, im mostly, like 95% of the time say, 'well, on college confidential, someone said this and this, and i think it makes sense because if you think about it...' and i go on. regarding virtually ANY college issue i always end up referring to this forum.</p>

<p>what don't my friends listen to me on? joining this site.</p>

<p>they'll end up agreeing with whatever i referenced to on this site, and they know about this forum too, but there is some resistance against them that makes them not join this site. so in the end, i relay the advice here on CC for them.</p>

<p>just join and find out for yourselves!</p>

<p>1) they don’t want to admit they’re dorky enough to have an account here</p>

<p>2) the same reason you can listen to your friends talk about politics all the time, but not care enough to actually read the news</p>

3

<p>Some forums like to beat the **** out of your ego.</p>

<p>For example, I just picked up playing bass a few months ago, and I had some cheap equipment. I felt like I was in another world when I joined Talkbass.com.</p>

<p>If your friends have a 2.0 GPA, they would probably feel the same way on CC.</p>

<p>^ well, i understand what you mean, but my mom wouldn’t let me have friends with 2.0 gpa’s lol</p>

5

<p>Maybe if you show them a few of my posts, or maybe a few of AOM’s posts, they won’t think we’re so dorky anymore.</p>

6

<p>^ hahah yeah right!!</p>

<p>i’d beg to differ, just kidding ;D</p>

7

<p>Then again, they might get repulsed by the melon post.</p>

<p>And they’ll definitely get repulsed by all those Pokemon references. Just tell them to stay away from High School Life.</p>

8

<p>^ i could tell them that..</p>

<p>but sometimes, i’m the only one out of them that does the thing that ends up, in a most obvious sense, being the RIGHT choice</p>

<p>who could resist a forum that has tons of info and has a smart environment? lol</p>

</p>

<p>Dumbasses</p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>They’re probably already lurkers on the forum, or as I like to call 'em, stalkers.</p>

11

<p>my friends absolutely NEVER listen to me, even when I give them the most basic, logical advice.</p>

<p>I actually had a fight with one of my best friends because she tried to tell me she was taking her SAT IIs in September. I calmly, and not arrogantly, suggested that there wasn’t any SAT testing date in September. She absolutely went ballistic at me for no reason.</p>

<p>so that’s a tad worse than just not joining the site. personally, it’s always a little weird to join a forum and talk to a RL friend on that forum…at least it was awkward for me & my friend</p>

12

<p>Let your friends live in their fantasy land(s).</p>

<p>I should take my SAT IIs, but I would rather let ACT get my money for a change.</p>

13

<p>^^^ I was one of those for 2 months, till I finally got the nerve to join!</p>

14

<p>I keep like talking to my best friend about this and she had me make her an account yesterday.</p>

15

<p>Introduce her to the SAT forum for a few weeks before she even comes near High School Life.</p>

16

<p>Mm-kayy. I’ll try to, but I don’t know how well that is going to work.</p>

17

<p>“^ well, i understand what you mean, but my mom wouldn’t let me have friends with 2.0 gpa’s lol”</p>

<p>LOL, typical 한국 여자.</p>

18

<p>I wouldn’t want friends who had less than a 2.0 gpa unless there was something ummm . . . wrong? with them.</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>Or typical Asian mother in general.</p>

<p>my problem is that i like the anonymous feature - my friends and i dont share sat scores, etc - and so i try not to talk about it with them. i think for a couple of people who know me well, it would be fairly simiple to match me up to my cc name</p>
