I don't get it

<p>You know how you always get the “such-and-such college is in your area!” stuff? I don’t get how they figure that 4 1/2 hours away is “in my area.”</p>

<p>I am perplexed. Does anyone understand this?</p>

<p>Is it in your state?</p>

<p>When I get those, it is usually from an out of state college telling me that they have sent a representative down here- usually in Atlanta</p>

<p>If we understood everything in life this would be a boring place</p>

<p>^ you r absolutely right.</p>
