<p>Yes, it’s my fate to sit behind a nut stand, but I got to make money some way if I want to get a car.</p>
<p>I’m definitely doing UF as well, but you probably already knew(Busch Gardens, hahaha.This is a horrible joke). Cornell I want to apply as well, but I’ve got no reason to other than seeing if I could make it.</p>
<p>thats one problem i have. i havent visited but like 2 schools and i prob wont see any others. ::pouts::
but i wanna go north. yale would be fab. i heard harvard was harsh (that is of course relative to a school like harvard)</p>
<p>then dont apply, its a waste of an app fee if you have no love for the school. which is why im pretty sure i’ve got too many schools. and lol yeah UF is like a prerequisite to any good floridian.</p>
<p>I would love to go north. Cira, you have no idea(or you might) how awesome the North is compared to the South. It’s so homey up there.</p>
<p>Homey? Hmm… What do you mean?</p>
<p>haha the north is def better. if i get into any place north of georgia im gone.</p>
<p>It just feels cozy and “right”. I don’t know if you’ve been to Florida before, but it’s street after street of apartments. There’s no history, no sense of purpose, which the North has due to it being the birth place of America and closer to European culture than the rest of the country.</p>
<p>ahh sure but in like ny its apartment building too. or stone house after house. quiet and imposing. but you take a train and it is bustling, there is shopping to drool over, and people. florida is soo not like it, it is the anti-south. screw history and all that, its the feel.</p>
<p>Screw history!? I cannot do that. (:
Were you one of the people that read my future plans essay? I mention my appreciation for history alot</p>
<p>nope i did not. and i bet you would if you could.
but lol history just has no effect on my love of the north.
the south has history. the north only makes up half the history of the US. there would be no civil war, no jim crow laws, all those additions of states. birthplace of presidents. and please tell me where you see european culture blossoming in the north ( not sarcastic, im very serious)</p>
<p>Ah. I went to Disneyworld when I was six, but not since then. The upper south is nice. I have an Uncle in South Carolina near York, and it’s a very nice area, very friendly. The North is too, I guess, unless you’re in a bigger city, or a newer suburb. I’m in a small, old city, and some neighborhoods are like that, others aren’t. I think you’re right about the homey part, though. If someone’s really a jerk for no reason around here, it’s usually because they’re not from here, and it’s pretty obvious. Community is important.</p>
<p>Panic, Canada is basically Europe with more maple syrup, and where I live, we’re basically Canadians with skinnier bacon, so…</p>
<p>We also have a burgeoning wine region, not unlike Germany or the Eastern European states.</p>
<p>and ugh disneyworld, the reward is totally killed when you go every year.
busch gardens
islands of adventure
epcot (pukes violently)
disney world
(there is another one but i dont remember the name hehe)</p>
<p>west coast has wine.</p>
<p>When my family went, all us kids did was complain about the heat. Most of us were too little to go on any rides so we stood around in lines all day collecting princesses’ autographs. I think it kind of put my parents off decent family vacations- after that, we rented a cabin in the Fingerlakes and once went to Pennsylvania for no good reason, but we’ve never done anything quite so far away or touristy since.</p>
<p>I LOVE DISNEYWORLD!</p>
<p>How did I miss the beginning of the Disneyworld conversation?</p>
<p>panic: Epcot is actually part of Walt Disney World (I’m sorry you don’t like it…)</p>
<p>Disney World:
-Magic Kingdom
-Epcot
-Disney Studios
-Animal Kingdom</p>
<p>Universal Studios Florida
-Universal Studios (park)
-Islands of Adventure</p>
<p>Busch Gardens</p>
<p>Seaworld</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p>Everything’s just so happy! (Albeit fake happy…we don’t talk about that)</p>
<p>omg disneyguy you’ve been brainwashed.</p>
<p>of course they are smiling when a churro cost like 5 bucks.</p>
<p>Panic, it’s still a faction of European culture in the North, which was what you asked for.</p>
<p>We don’t talk about prices either.</p>
<p>“It’s a small world after all…”</p>
<p>I got stuck on that ride for two hours. TWO HOURS. Did they bother to turn the music off? Of course not!</p>
<p>So I got to listen to “It’s a small world” again and again and again for 2 hours.</p>
<p>Ever since then, Disneyworld has lost some of its magic. I still like it (again, we don’t talk about the price…it’s really SO ridiculous), but since we don’t go too often (ie: I’ve been twice in my life) it’s really been a non-issue.</p>
<p>hmm fine. but i was thinking something more along the lines of only in the north, or known to be in the north. and in europe. whatever.</p>
<p>try ive been like every other year. since like middle school.and see there is so much you “dont talk about” haha. and two hours, that is sick. but i love the spiderman ride at islands.</p>
<p>Yes, well, Northern wines are much better than California crap. Much more European in flavor, acidity, alcohol, refinement. We don’t knock you over the head with a log of oak and call it a Chardonnay. We have class. </p>
<p>I don’t know if there’s anything extremely exclusive to Europe and the North, but I think in general we take a more similar outlook to life. Especially in my area, we work hard, take pride in small, family run businesses and farms, love our football team like they love their futbol team.</p>
<p>oooo you have a lot of spirit for the north. hmmm sounds like a small town.
and wow, does someone dip in the art of wine tasting?</p>
<p>Eh, just arguing. It’s fun. Pretty much everyone who lives in my town hates it. We used to have a mall, but the government screwed around with getting a Super Walmart and having that in its place, and so far, the mall has gone and no Super Walmart has appeared, thankfully. There’s no place for teenagers to go out in town, so most resort to partying and getting drunk so that they forget how bored they are. I like the region, I’m just stuck in a dumb part of it.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m pretty sure it’s legal in NY if my parents give it to me in the privacy of my own home. European teenagers can drink all they want (except in Ireland, they have to 18. Naturally, the only place I couldn’t have a glass of wine on my sixteenth birthday was the country I was in at the time). Besides, by educating me about alcohol in the safety of my own home, my parents are keeping me from doing it with a bunch of idiots, or drinking like crazy once I get to college because no one will be telling me no.</p>
