Colleges.. BAH
Yes, we've been isolated in pure intellectual bliss for six weeks... but now, it's time to face the cold, harsh reality of college admissions. I thought that we might want to suffer through this together, so perhaps we should compile a list of our top choices. Yes, I know that this is incredibly nerdy, but it'll give us an idea of where we're heading.. and with whom we might be spending the next four years. So perhaps list your top 4-5 choices (along with where you're applying early) in a comment, and I'll compile a list.

Ok. SO. My choices:
Cornell
UMich
UT Austin

Wait wait wait. Aida...BALL State? Is that a joke. Is that a nickname for Deep Springs? Don't tell Donald about Scrotum University.
Presenting Ball State
http://www.bsu.edu/
On July 25, 1917 local industrialists the Ball Brothers, founders of the Ball Corporation bought the Indiana Normal Institute out of foreclosure. For $35,100, the Balls bought the Administration building and surrounding land bordered by University Avenue, McKinley Avenue, Riverside Avenue and Tillotson Avenue, except for the northwest quadrant which was kept as a wildlife preserve (Christy Woods).
hahah ball brothers.
HAHAHA.
Fuck you.
Thanks.
:P lol. NO it's not a joke, it's a real university... a lot of people go there for Communications. I think Letterman went there? I could be wrong. My mind is fuzzy right now. Perhaps even moldy. Merf!
And Grace, what are you going to study? Didn't you want to go into advertising and such? Though you could totally study Fine Arts or something along those lines and work that. You friggin' rule. So I'm gonna look around your lists and check them out... see if there are any options out there I might want to consider as well. I checked out Tufts because I didn't know the had Comms, so I gotta keep researching that one... Meef!
My list is so small compared to everyone's, lmao. And Gary? You are fucking insane. That is all.
P.S. - Men running around in Testicle Suits. THAT is all.
Aida...imagine meeting all ur family friends at your graduation party. They ask where you will be attending. You say "Ball State" and they say "No, really." This could be your future. BEWARE!
I do love UChicago! I'm applying to so many schools that I forgot to include it on the list. After visiting Penn, however, I've decided to apply there early.. we'll see how that goes. =/
And also, if accepted to UChicago and Cornell, I would probably choose UChicago. Sorry, guys =(
No worries, Anthony. That's my last option. And trust me, I'm getting into my others so I'm totally not going to resort to my safety, dammit.
WORD OF GOD!
Amen.
"Men running around in Testicle Suits. THAT is all."
I knew this was gonna come back to haunt me.....
note to self: censor myself around Aida.
and now for a fobish smilie
^__^
What?
What?
Testicle suits? What? Where?
Ooh, Aida...I don't know, those are just schools I'm visiting because of their proximity to other schools I'm visiting. As in, "Hit two colleges in one day!" kinda thing.
And also, I'm thinking basically art these days. Film studies. Theatre literature. Advertising. Underwater basket-weaving. Seriously, if a school doesn't have those programs, it's a no-go.
only at TASP could a discussion about colleges could turn into testicle-suit-induced madness.
