The Cafe Watering Hole: PART DEUX

<p>Apply to lots of college, snoop. You’ll want options, snoop.</p>

<p>NO. I DO NOT WANT OPTIONS. I WANT TO HAVE ONE OPTION AND BE DONE. Why did Pomona have to accept me? I’m not that great. I’m lazy.</p>

<p>How will you decide? Jesus. Oh and:</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>BUT I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND NORTHWESTERN HASN’T SENT ME FIN AID YET AND I MIGHT BUST A CAP</p>

<p>Patience is key.</p>

<p>PATIENCE IS KEY.</p>

<p>I calmed down. NU should send me fin aid on Friday. I also emailed the RTVF lady and she said she’d meet with me if I visited so we could go over technical things.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve made up my mind. Hahvahd and Snooplumbia wouldn’t be good choices for me anyway, the more I think on it. Harvard is too…much. And I remember my Columbia interviewer saying study abroad wasn’t very encouraged. So.</p>

<p>Yeah. But don’t worry, yak. Plane rides to Hartford from Chicago don’t take too long.</p>

<p>Also, I can’t call it Snooplumbia anymore. Snoopwestern?</p>

<p>But all the driven hipsters go to Columbia. You have to.</p>

<p>Too competitive, film major not what I want, etc. Also, I would die in New York City. It’d get all Law and Order up in there. Besides, I’m officially accepted as an RTVF major now. Christ, I hope fin aid doesn’t suck.</p>

<p>Every other winter I can get by without a coat. OH MY GOD THE WINTER OH MY GOD I HAVE TO BUY A COAT</p>

<p>Ahahahahah CC broke.</p>

<p>Final tally:</p>

<p>Rejected - Stanford, Columbia</p>

<p>Waitlisted - UChicago, Harvard (YEAH. I KNOW. I KNOW.)</p>

<p>Accepted - Scripps, NYU, Pomona, Rice, Vandy, UT Knox, Northwestern.</p>

<p>This is pretty much…perfect.</p>

<p>Since you wanted to know. YAK ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN NEW HAVEN IN SEPTEMBER?</p>

<p>Hi.</p>

<p>Today was crazy. I got into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Brown. Waitlisted at Columbia.</p>

<p>I almost had a number of heart attacks, and it now feels like I’m dreaming.</p>

<p>Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. You’re giving me a heart attack. And pick Yale.</p>

<p>Are you ready to blow this popsicle stand for Facebook? Or are you going to [leave</a> me hanging](<a href=“http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=leave%20me%20hanging]leave”>Urban Dictionary: leave me hanging)?</p>

<p>See also [url=<a href=“http://vimeo.com/7265200]this.[/url”>http://vimeo.com/7265200]this.[/url</a>]</p>

<p>We will enter the realms of Facebook soon. Not just yet. Now we must choose where to attend first.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up at Yale. They’re already trying to win me over. The first thing they prompted me to do was to select a size for my Free Yale T-Shirt. </p>

<p>So, I’m still in shock.</p>

<p>Welp, NU aid comes in tomorrow. So if they follow the (general, because Scripps and Rice suck balls) pattern of aid I’ve been given, I should be good to go.</p>

<p>I would like a free Yale t-shirt. Blue is my color. </p>

<p>Also, I think my forearms are breaking out in hives. So I’m reminded of the plagues on this holiest of Passovers? Itchy.</p>

<p>Would you say this infernal website has helped us? I mean, 4 years.</p>

<p>Dammmnnn, Congrats to you both! Get excited for next year, college is just infinitely better than high school in every way possible.</p>

<p>^ I can’t wait. :)</p>

<p>My free Yale tee will be either blue or grey. If I get a grey one, I will feel cheated.</p>

<p>Also, I think this website was helpful in the end. It increased stress, but it was definitely helpful. I mean hello, you didn’t even want to go to Harvard but you got a waitlist. lol.</p>

<p>lol indeed. </p>

<p>NU is disgustingly slow with sending me finaid. Disgustingly.</p>

<p>I am going on three college visits in April. One is Yale. Which should be the other two? Princeton has two dates, one of which conflicts with Harvard, and the other of which conflicts with Brown. What should I do? Also, “because * am an international student,” H and P are paying for any travel expenses. Incentive? I think so.</p>

<p>Has your NU finaid arrived?</p>

<p>Yes. It isn’t horrible but isn’t great. I’ll appeal. Also, my mother won’t support me with…anything. So that sucks.</p>

<p>Visit Princeton and Brown. Don’t go to Harvard. It’s bland and lifeless.</p>

<p>Just sent an email to NU about my financial aid. I really hope they make it better. When I was doing the math on Vandy and Pomona about their cost versus NU’s, I realized Pomona is pretty cheap in comparison to both of them, so I felt guilty.</p>

<p>Ugh. Embarrassment of riches.</p>

<p>I love Caprisuns.</p>

<p>I have to write a ‘letter of appeal’, gross. And I kind of feel incredibly guilty for having my parents spend so much money to let me go to a fancy college. But they said they don’t care. Conflict. It gives me that gross feeling of like you’re almost throwing up but you’re okay so nothing comes up, but the idea lingers.</p>

<p>Waka flocka flame. Eli?</p>

<p>Jello’s great when your teeth have just been ripped out. </p>

<p>Glee is back tomorrow and I am 97% sure I’m going to having hijinks in Evanston next year, life is good. But, my cable did just go out. At least it didn’t go out tomorrow night in the midst of my Gleelebration?</p>
