<p>Just some thoughts that I wanted to share. Of course, I know some of these aren’t true, but they’re just some generic similarities I’ve been finding on these forums for the past year, so don’t take anything personally (not intended to stir anger or frustration).</p>

<p>I think the last one pretty irrelevant (mainly the athletics part).</p>

<p>-you have a gargantuan list of ECs and Awards
-you've set your sights on prestigious colleges.
-you freak out when you get a B
-you label anyone with attitude problems a 'troll'
-you have planned out every day of every week of your high school career
-it isn't even summer yet you alreayd have internships/activities/ volunteering/et cetera jobs planned out
-not even the start of the school year yet you've already planned your year.
-you pick the heaviest courseload available at school.
-you like running
-you are determined on going to college.
- still 4 months away from SATs but yOu're already studying.
-you like debating</p>

<p>i agree with kchen. although i know this isn't applicable to ALL CC members, these are some of the things i noticed here, too..</p>

<p>Well, when I said athletics, I was really focusing on swimming, tennis, cross-country, and track/field. Mainly running, like Jo.InC. said.</p>

<p>naw this list dont work, i know alot of HS students that dont come to CC that fit more than a few of those</p>
