<p>NYU sucks. It has a good reputation but I can’t figure out why. It’s as expensive as an Ivy and is strewn across the city. It’s kind of stupid. At least Columbia has a campus…</p>
<p>My mom has maintained a strict “no matter what, everything will work out” stance throughout this whole process, and I’m grateful for that, at least.</p>
<p>I’m really nervous to hear back from Yale and Brown… But I have to hope for the best. (Speaking of which, go to harvardrejects.org and safetyschool.org LOL.)</p>
<p>I have a good feeling you’ll get into NU. I don’t have any feeling about Pomona, but you’ll hopefully get in there too. lolol. That’ll be a fun choice.</p>
<p>It’s so weird to think we started chilling in this silly Cafe like 2.5 years ago. Jeez.</p>
<p>I had a good feeling about Chicago too, but look where that got me. But still, I do hold your mother’s philosophy.</p>
<p>Fin aid, man. Fin aid will kill me. Utterly murder me. </p>
<p>Also, looking back and evaluating everything I did the past few days, I didn’t like Vandy that much. Cute boys, but not much else. And that’s saying something, because the boys were really really cute. Like, your Canadian brain can’t possibly imagine.</p>
<p>And I’ve been chillin’ in this Cafe for four years, how do you think I feel?</p>
<p>Picking where to go to college is such an awful thing.</p>
<p>And who knows, they may end up picking you off the waitlist. Hope is not lost.</p>
<p>I suppose I’m lucky to have choices. Embarrassment of riches and all that. But still, this is hard. I called NYU today to confirm about my crazy email and dude was all “Congratulations! Accepted!” and I was all “You sound super nice, maybe NYU isn’t so bad after all.” </p>
<p>btdubs, I have a good feeling about Yale for you. But my good feelings are sort of cursed, so maybe I have a horrible feeling about it for you.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll just have to settle for Vandy’s impossibly cute boys.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This. However, it is true that every single person at Vandy is attractive, so that’s not a bad option either.</p>
<p>My friend taught me how to snowboard today. I fell down a mountain in pretty much every way possible. Now I can kind of snowboard and have an immeasurable number of bruises. Yay spring break.</p>
<p>Read Infinite Jest. All of you.</p>
<p>I can’t get through Dave Eggers. What makes you think I can get through David Foster Wallace?</p>
<p>
Right you are. How very right you are.</p>
<p>Rice decision should be coming out soon. I might throw up from the anticipation. Do I like Rice?</p>
<p>I think you like Rice.</p>
<p>I’ve also never been to Vandy and so I have to reserve judgment. Though my friend who is a lesbian has an ex-girlfriend who goes to Vandy.</p>
<p>Franny & Zooey is an excellent book.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thank you for the first bit, and I’ll ignore the second bit. I hope your good feeling is right this time. I’ve started to feel a tiny bit more confident in the past 48 hours, for some reason. We’ll seeeee…</p>
<p>What specifically do I like about Rice? I read the student perspectives on each of the residential colleges in their newspaper/whatever, but I’m not sure what to think. They seem…hmm. Yes, they seem hmm.</p>
<p>I refuse to read anything besides Harry Potter until I know where I’m going to college. Eff intellectual pursuits. </p>
<p>Also, I think I want to study European history in college. Those Soviets are interesting.</p>
<p>European history is most interesting in the previous 100 years. Before then, there were peasants.</p>
<p>One of my friends is also reading Harry Potter obsessively instead of doing any homework.</p>
<p>I went to the library today and checked out Slaughterhouse-Five, because I never finished it, and On Beauty, because I’m an elitist. </p>
<p>You know, my hipster transformation is nearing completion. I got bangs yesterday and bought [url=<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Two_(She_%26_Him_album)]this[/url”>Volume Two (She & Him album) - Wikipedia]this[/url</a>].</p>
<p>NU decisions seem to be coming out Friday, as in, the day I’m getting my wisdom teeth out. As I said in the NU waiting thread, I’m probably going to hallucinate an acceptance. The more I think about it, the more my Why NU essay was TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY WRONG.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The hipster Bible? That’s what that is.</p>
<p>
THANK YOU. When John Krasinski makes a movie about one of your books, hipsters everywhere love you.</p>
<p>Not that I don’t love John Krasinski, 'cause I do.</p>
<p>The British say ‘anesthetized’ funny. Or would that be 'an</p>
<p>Good news: got into Scripps. Bad news: I don’t have $42,000/yr.</p>
<p>I may cry.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, who got into Northwestern?</p>
<p>THIS TENNIZZLER</p>
<p>Sweet. How’s finaid looking?</p>
<p>No idea. NU only emailed an acceptance, fin aid is in the mail. I do know it will suck, but my parents are confusing me, because my dad says they have the money, maybe, but my mom says my college fund has fifty, full stop.</p>
<p>But Mean Girls is on right now, so I’m taking it as a good thing.</p>
<p>You know, the more I think about it, the more I freak out. I do literally nothing at school. College will kill me.</p>
<p>All I can say is… I told you so. :)</p>
<p>Yes, well. </p>
<p>But I’m serious about the freaking out, because high school has not prepared me for collegeiwilldie</p>
<p>Yeah, my senior year has degenerated into a royal waste of time. </p>
<p>It’s okay, we can both take Remedial Classes At College.</p>
<p>At least you’ve done stuff. Like IB and what have you. I have 13 years of nothing under my belt.</p>
<p>Oh god.</p>
