<p>Should I write that on college applications?</p>

<p>I won it. I was heavily involved in Youtube and Myspace, that year.</p>

<p>Ur joking right?
thats my honest first reaction.</p>

<p>hahaha oh, please do it. As long as it’s a school with a good sense of humor, it should be fantastic.
where are you applying?</p>

<p>LOL this is funny.</p>

<p>If I was reading your app, I’d find it hilarious and witty. Do it.</p>

<p>Well, I already applied to three schools (Arizona State, Montclair State, and Ole Miss). I forgot to tell them about my prestigious honor. Perhaps if they wait-list me, I’ve use this as my thing to get it.</p>

<p>I might apply to one more school, though. Haven’t decided which one yet.</p>

<p>oh that’s clever!</p>

<p>seriously, apply to Harvard and mention this! Watch you get in… Now I have to send in an app to some school with this…</p>

<p>Do it! That’s just hilarious. The least that would happen is that the admissions office would get a great laugh.</p>

<p>“…in 2006, as the internet became more user-generated, I contributed deeply to Myspace and youtube. Doing so, Time magazine honored me by named me as their 2006 Time Magazine Person of the Year…”</p>

<p>I was around when Time announced its cop out of a person of the year, and, trust me, you aren’t the first to have had this idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if admissions officers joke about how long it’s going to take for applicants to stop being “witty” and putting this in their apps.</p>

<p>I’ve joked about this with my brother so many times. Rocker’s probably right…</p>
