| im not gonna fill out that big ol form, but i got ACCEPTED!
i was straight up rejected by every ivy league school I applied to except harvard. i did not expect this in a million years. so my advice is to apply even if you think you have no chance. otherwise you'll never know.
hey classmates  | |

Friedrice (or rice in general) is like air to Asians. It is our life support. Without it, we would not live or be as smart.
BTW, does Harvard serve friedrice? Is it any good? If not, I won't be applying to Harvard this fall. The quality of friedrice is a very important factor to me. | |
