(no subject)
its about that time of year again.
no, im not referring to the christmas season, although that is here as well, and im quite stoked about that.
im referring to college app time. yessiree. us seniors and other college hopefuls gotta impress all of our colleges with well written, thoughtful essays, a stunning list of extracurricular activities, and the ability to spout our social security number about 90 bajillion times.
almost screwed myself over with my dec 1 deadline. nobody told me that its a good idea to start a college app for a dec 1 deadline WELL before nov 30. oh well. you live, you learn. although, i technically havent learned since i have a dec 10 coming up and i havent written the essay for it. oh well. you live. its one of those standard "why do you want to come to X college" essays. i want to deviate from all the standard cliches of 'beautiful campus, nice people, awesome college', but really, that IS why i wanna go there. im thinking about putting a paragraph on how hot their women are, just make my essay stick out. hell, why dont i just entitle it "GWU: Gorgeous Women Undergrads" or something to that effect. ill either be written off as a male chauvanist or get a scholarship. now, im no bettin man.....
while im sweating out this college app stuff, my best friend greg is DONE WITH COLLEGE APPS, THE FUCKER. through some sort of special financial aid/scholarship program, he was admitted into clairmont mckenna college already. not only that, but he has a full four year scholarship. yes. thats right. A FREE RIDE THROUGH COLLEGE. how awesome is that?? im so happy for him, yet very envious. catch is, its in cali. i swear to god, cali is gonna eat him alive. swallow him whole. this should be fun to watch.
does anyone find it an overly strange or 'why would you do that?!?!' move that im applying to live in a dry, substance free dorm? all my friends find it the strangest (read: stupidest) thing to do. i dont get it. opinions, people.
if youll allow me to bring up a topic that i mentioned earlier on in this post. a topic that, by no means is an original rant, but still must be addressed by the master of rant. christmas songs. now, i love christmas songs. they get me in the mood for christmas, and thats ALWAYS a good thing. however, as such in all things, timing is key. that said, you cant start playing christmas music THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING! that just oversaturates it. at this point, there are already at least 3 radio stations and that tv channel that is dedicated to telling you what programs are on are playing only christmas songs. its impossible to be constantly psyched for christmas for continuously over a month. i say, the christmas music boundary should be set at 2-3 weeks prior.
ive determined that straight edge allows for the coolest possibilities for screennames.
have you ever gotten an x-ray at the dentists? yeah, you know how they put that heavy lead vest on you. that is designed so that the x-rays that are emitted in the room dont reach your vital organs, thus messing them up. i bring that up to raise this question. wheres the lead helmet?!?!?! let me walk you through the x-ray procedure, in case you arent familiar with it. the dentist puts on the heavy lead vest on you that i mentioned. and then, he proceeds to aim an x-ray cannon DIRECTLY AT YOUR HEAD. now, if we go through the trouble of putting a lead vest to protect your chest, wouldnt it be wise to, by that token, protect your brain? last i checked, thats pretty important. its like wearing a kevlar bulletproof vest and then shooting yourself in the head... with a 12-gauge shotgun. that x-ray cannon he uses looks like serious business. hell, he even leaves the room (at least, my dentist does) when he activates the thing. yeah. leave me alone in a room with a radiation cannon pointing directly at my unprotected head. thanks. fuck getting a root canal. im scared of going to the dentist because of the potential for serious brain cancer.
