Shavasana Urges for Berkeley
"This is what you've been waiting for, the good news. You've been admitted to Berkeley. The sound you hear is the world opening up at your feet. It's the sound of ideas popping. Of every language, every point of view. Of conga drums, carillons, and a thousand things you've never known before. There is truly no place like Berkeley. Anywhere. And you've earned a place here. We think you can take this excitement and make it your own. Take the world's ideas and forge new ones.
Learn. Imagine. Experiment. Create. Change the world.
We congratulate you,
Jeremy Alvarado De Nieva
You can do it and you can do it here.
We know you can.
Please join us at Berkeley."
Along with the letter I recieved from the College of Letters and Science, I recieved this one from Berkeley in the mail today. Just two letters. Nothing else.
I know I've mentioned this in a previous entry, but crappy movies tend to have longer advertisements because they need to spend more time and money convincing you that their movie is good. Movies with shorter trailers are the blockbusters. The producers know their movie is hot so they know they don't need to spend money to convince you.
Berkeley and these damn letters exude too much confidence. "We don't give a fuck! We'll use fragmented phrases cause we're BERKELEY!" They have no need to bombard us with pamphlets demonstrating how badass their programs are. The lack thereof does so more effectively. Shit Berkeley. You've really left a lot of possibilities and potential for me to imagine, which I think are your intentions exactly.
The desperation and neediness of anyone just makes them look unattractive anyway.
This is the right decision.
