In highschool, I wanted to end up at one of three schools...Stanford, Northwestern, or Duke...but while my ACT score was decidedly enough, I knew being a slacker for 4 years in highschool was going to come back and bite me in the ass...so I justified things.
Northwestern was right near the city...but hey, I figured - so is DePaul...
Duke is the home of the Blue Devils...and I told myself that DePaul's Blue Demons were pretty simmilar, maybe not as sinister, but at least they're playing the same game...
and so I bought a Stanford shirt, and applied to DePaul.
Petrified by rejection, maybe? Wouldn't be the first time.
The shirt has started to fit me better over time.
