It's the truth, so I really don't see an issue. If they don't like me for who I am, screw them

I wrote I would draw if I ever had a free afernoon... really boring answers, in no way profound.

yeah i'm still wondering if it's what you would do (that you usually don't have a chance to) or what you would usually do.

what I would usually do is even more boring than what I would do, so I went with the latter.

I wrote that I wish I was better at speaking Classical Arabic because I only know colloquial arabic.
I wrote I would just play a pickup game of basketball or football.

Whitecadillac, the beauty of the question is that you are free to interpret it any way you want. Don't worry :]
Pigs at sea, what do you mean "ehhh wrong attitude"?
It's a fine perspective and I found your comment rather rude.

^^how is that offensive..it's a saying more than anything
I could have phrased it far ruder, but i didn't
I also think my attitude is fine. It's how I truly feel. It's better to be yourself and get rejected than pretend and get accepted. I also feel my attitude is far better than the Ivy-obsessed one so many kids harbor.

^Right, that's how I took it. And if they don't want you, it's their loss and it's what's meant to be. :]
Eventually, I hope everyone thinks like Douglas Adams: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." <3
And yeah, I'm sure "screw them" is just slang, it's not actually trying to offend a school :/
I would rather a school accept or not accept me for who I am, not a framed version of me. No gimmicks or desperate "selling points."
Hooray!

pigs_at_sea-who are you to judge?
I think that response gives me an idea of who the person is and what is important.
I think calling up old friends is a great response, and what brings people together more than food?
What did you say? what makes it any better than any of our honest responses?
