<p>Take a breath why dontcha! Some of you need a hard reality check. Smart people can indeed be so very, very stupid.</p>
<p>I put in not hours but DAYS into my princeton application. I spent ages on my essays in order to perfect them...its the only dream i have as of now in terms of higher education for undergrad. I didnt apply to HY, and this is the top school I applied to. I could do anything to get in...absolutely anything - mostly because I put in a shi*tload of effort. The brighter side of things for me is that since I skipped a year in HS, i might take a year off after school to do some research, develop my company, travel, play soccer and apply again, with a stronger app than before, and of course a stronger SAT. So I will be kinda heartbroken if i dont get in, but I know that I have one more chance.</p>
<p>I will be sad yes. But I will not let my own "worth" depend upon it. And I think that's important, and too many college-going students dont realize it. The best and the brightest will succeed no matter where they go.</p>
<p>My upper-crust love is not for me
Perhaps the match was not to be.</p>
<p>And I will sigh and shed a tear
For the death of young dreams dear.</p>
<p>But I know my heart is free
to choose a working man or three.</p>
<p>I think I've already cried enough for Princeton. I wouldn't be absolutely shattered unless I didn't get into any other school either.</p>
<p>nice piece of poetry...</p>
<p>I try to crack a smile across
my tear hardened face</p>
<p>My app had gone for a toss
which I found hard to face</p>
<p>Where should I go?
What should I do?</p>
<p>Which way to turn?
before another opportunity I spurn</p>
<p>I shake my little fist at the Powers that Be.
They smash me.</p>
<p>my hapiness was lost
without a trace</p>
<p>just as how I toss
an old shoe lace</p>
<p>I open the mailbox with anticipation and glee
to find that there is nothing but rejection for me</p>
<p>I let not this letter shatter my hopes and dreams
One must remain confident; it's not as bad as it seems</p>
<p>So I get online and get the rest of my schools
What the **** I got rejected everywhere, I belong with the fools</p>
<p>I'm a fool for yoooooouuu
when the rejection letter from colleges that obviously are on crack start to fall
I'll be there for yooooouuu
if zante does not kill me toooooooo</p>
<p>Zante will kill you even if you don't get a rejection
Think of a guy receiving an un-numbed C-section</p>
<p>So I take a year off to do something new
I start something special, but I have no clue</p>
<p>It turns out pretty well, a project is done
I thought it was serious, but they thought it was fun</p>
<p>I got yet another letter,
And I thought I'd feel better</p>
<p>But all it was was something
That I might as well flush down the loo</p>
<p>eeep.
gets into a jeep. </p>
<p>vrooooooom~</p>
<p>I'm warning you again tebro, don't mess with my man!</p>
<p>BEEP BEEP!</p>
<p>Who's got the keys to the jeep? Vrrroooom.</p>
<p>zante is green
lima bean </p>
<p>so much fun
hate to run</p>
<p>philntex
"look! a t-rex!"</p>
<p>I steal the keys
vroooooooom!</p>
<p><em>wide-eyed</em></p>
<p><em>bounces and claps</em></p>
<p>Me likey t-rex! <em>looks around</em> AGAIN?! Aw, screw this.</p>
<p>wow tebro you should give up right now
you're such a bad poet anyhow
what do I have to do with a lima bean
it's so stupid i find it obscene</p>
<p>This post is turning crazy
And we're getting lazy
To actually compose
a real piece of poetry.</p>
<p>We spend our time
Writing a rhyme
that makes no sense
therfore its a crime</p>
<p>if zante shall say I have no skill at rhyme
I shall disprove her claim one final time</p>
<p>a lima bean is green as jealous eyes,
the shade that clings to zante, like ties
of steel, when others try to steal her man
then speed off, laughing, singing, in a van.</p>
