<p>wow what college rejected YOU?/</p>

<p>^^Stanford…probably cause I’m from NJ and they think I’d rather go to Princeton and what not and was just applying there for fun cause Princeton and Harvard got rid of early…(My theory at least). 5 other friends from NJ all didn’t get accepted and they were all from Governor’s school as well…</p>

<p>^^ Yeah, but for me, pton is like my home now. I live right next to it and I go there everyday for swim practice. I’ve been there for the past 6 years lol…gets kind of boring.</p>
