<p>^I have a hard time telling whether or not you are sarcastic, mainly because of this: [Soup-Kitchen</a> Volunteers Hate College-Application-Padding Brat | The Onion - America’s Finest News Source](<a href=“http://www.theonion.com/articles/soupkitchen-volunteers-hate-collegeapplicationpadd,1422/]Soup-Kitchen”>Soup-Kitchen Volunteers Hate College-Application-Padding Brat)</p>
<p>^ I am completely serious, Senior. My soup-kitchen service skills are far superior to those of my peers. Soup kitchens embrace me, “college-application-padding brats” fear me, and Harvard stalks me. College admission guidebooks are my Bible. </p>
<p>Coupled with my NHS leadership and French Club dedication (not to mention my unearthly good looks), I am irresistable. FEAR AND OBEY ME FOR I AM THE ULTIMATE SUPER APPLICANT.</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m on a caffeine/CC-induced power trip right now. But thanks for sharing that article. Gave me a good laugh.</p>

<p>PS does anyone know how to quote someone?
i checked the “quote message in reply” button but it doesn’t work.</p>
<p>^yeah put
[quotes]

[/quotes]
</p>
<p>To make sure it didn’t quote what I said, I added an extra s to the end of quote. You should take that out. I think there’s a control shortcut that I don’t know, but manually typing it in is a start.</p>
<p>Yeah exploring is pretty cool. I somewhat wished I lived in a time when there were uncharted areas I could explore, but it’s still alright now I guess.</p>
