<p>@SweetIceTea‌ It’s going to be interesting who all gets in </p>

<p>I am dying to know how many people applied to CALS for Comm</p>

<p>funniest/most interesting story you ever had (everyone has one, don’t be scared):
This may not be the funniest but it’s the first to occur to me. I had always taken pride in not having been stung by a bee until last summer at camp when I was sitting with a group of friends on a huge wooden wagon. One of them decided it would be fun to jump on it to see if it can handle the weight or not, and I was just sitting at the edge with my legs hanging from it, just minding my own business, when I felt a sting on my leg and quickly jumped off. My friend didn’t notice and continued jumping. Neither one of us noticed the huge hive that was right under the wagon, and I was focused on finding whatever got into my leg. I found out a few seconds later once I got stung eleven more times and ended up cursing the day bees came into this world all throughout camp.</p>

<p>funniest/most interesting story you ever had (everyone has one, don’t be scared): I went backpacking with my 5 family members to Spain this summer… and I planned everything as a tour guide for my family! It was awesome, and it was definitely not easy to do but amazing experience!! </p>

<p>Favorite sport/athletics: Pole Vaulting</p>

<p>Favorite food/restaurant: Kungpao chicken and Applebee’s (I know…) :smiley: </p>

<p>Funniest/most interesting story you ever had: It was the summer going into my freshman year and I was traveling back from India by myself and had to stop at the London Heathrow Airport to catch a connecting flight. When I went through security, the light turned red and I was pulled aside and taken into a separate room like in the movies. They asked me if I had anything dangerous in my suitcase (I was crying during this whole ordeal…don’t judge). They called my mom who was at work during this and she got scared too. Anyway I said no I don’t have anything dangerous, and they started checking absolutely every inch of my luggage. After what seemed longer than waiting for my Cornell decision, they figured out that I had too much AXE body spray (there’s only a certain amount you carry). The security guards laughed and told me to spray as much as I wanted too on myself and hand it over too them because it had to be confiscated. So I did and if the passenger who sat next me reads this, I’m sorry I sneezed so much on the flight. </p>

<p>Summary for those to lazy to read: Got stopped at a foreign airport, taken into scary room like in the movies, turns out I had too much AXE. </p>

<p>@Kungpaoasian‌ the exact same thing happened to me at an airport in Florida haha. Except I diddnt cry but whatevs </p>

<p>@ncurcio6 You may have been stopped for the same reason, but I highly doubt you were interrogated in the same intimidating way. </p>

<p>It was something like this except I answered the questions: <a href=“The Bourne Supremacy (3/9) Movie CLIP - Escaping in Naples (2004) HD - YouTube”>The Bourne Supremacy (3/9) Movie CLIP - Escaping in Naples (2004) HD - YouTube;

<p>are we gonna get our financial aid packages tomorrow at 5 as well? </p>

<p>I haven’t been stressing much over the past couple days and want to share my thinking… </p>

<p>There’re so many amazing things to look forward to, and in fact, most have nothing to do with what college we’ll go to but rather the people we’ll come to know.
We all know 5 pm December 11, 2014 as Cornell decision time. But for all we know, we could meet a new best friend tomorrow at 5 pm. For all we know, we could meet the love of our lives tomorrow at 5 pm. Anything can happen! </p>

<p>Dude @Connor2019‌ thank you for that. You literally made me feel 10000+ times better! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@Connor2019 great thoughts homie, are you applying as a philosophy major? :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>did anyone had to send their senior year first quarter transcripts?.. I didn’t… I was just wondering…</p>

<p>I didn’t @milke37‌ </p>

<p>@shortfry17 thank you! That would’ve been cool haha but nah I applied for PAM in HumEc. And good to hear @RtotheB =) </p>

<p>27.5 hours.</p>

<p>@milke37 I think that our guidance counselors were contacted by Cornell and that they sent the first quarter grades…my GC never told me but I remember hearing that that was the process!</p>

<p>@milke37 My guidance counselor told me that that’s what they’re required to do too</p>

<p>It’s hard to think that someone already knows whether we got into Cornell…</p>

<p>@Kungpaoasian Our future self knows alsoooooo! Oh how I envy that dude</p>
