I got into UF but really, who cares? There are more pressing things to worry about- getting into a school that nearly every slacker with bad grades can get into is hardly an acheivement. It's like...no one has any tact anymore. That really bothers me. Why does it take SO MUCH effort to offer up a condolence or congratulations IN WRITING with a card....pens aren't an archaic tool yet. Saying excuse me to random people in public isn't awkard but a lot of people seem to think this breeches some sort of social law. Waiting until everyone at the table has their food before eating won't burn a hole in your stomach. Saying "hi" to someone's parents when you visit their home is so important- why do people brush this off all the time? Someone invites you into their home and you ignore them- that makes me so mad. Oh and doing things that we don't want to do (and going places we don't want to go) in a timely manner is something we all struggle with but when that thing is something important that matters a lot, even to one person . . .
I'm glad my parents raised me to be polite.
