No, you should not go to Exeter. You say that you never study .... wow. That doesn't show that you're smart. It shows that you are unmotivated and indifferent. Exeter is based on the idea that you an active participant. Someone that doesn't like homework or studying should NEVER even apply.

Sources: I went to Exeter.

You want to include your rubiks cube interest and spit bubbles?... hahaha, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if this is a comedic joke or something. If it isn't, then let me tell you it is very hard. Unfortunetely, they look for EC's over a long period of time, so starting now, although still fine, won't be nearly as good as, say, playing piano for 5 years. Try to choose EC's that you actually like, not ones that will "get you into prep. school", because if you do that, you won't excel at them, which is another aspect top tier schools look for.

Wow wow wow. This would be the second time I reflected on my original post! I love this, I wish I had updated my diary more frequently. I feel like attacking my thoughts on the world and see how they change over time rather than than writing about petty news.

Well, It's amazing what 1 1/2 years can do to you. I would like to say, I still haven't find my perfect passion, nor created the perfect application but I am certainly giving my best efforts in finding my passion, WHICH is the major reason I am applying to a Boarding school.

Anyways, I feel bad for grave digging, but I think this a good lesson: Don't be a jerk, and don't try to stack your app.
