over the last couple weeks, i've out of nowhere become completely, pathetically obsessed with colleges. i can't even talk about anything else. my parents and i sit down at the dinner table and, without preamble, immediately launch into a discussion of brown's acceptance rate (17%!) or northwestern's quarter system (major drawback). the best way to

quarter system = awesome!!! in terms of being aligned with other colleges' (ie. friends) breaks, it's sort of crap, but it's one of the reasons i really liked northwestern. recalling ridiculous amounts of information for finals makes me angry.

good luck on ap us!

but with a quarter system, you have three exams periods a year, so you're studying your brain off all the time.

I would die of happiness if I got into Brown. Also, college is the only thing that's on my mind right now (hence, my nervous breakdowns and this lovely icon.

your icon is super!

i'm thinking of applying to brown early decision. i don't really expect to actually get in, but it'd be holy shit amazing if i somehow did.

I was also thinking of applying to Brown early, but my parents want me to stay in the New York area, so I don't think Rhode Island is going to happen.
eh, my parents want me to apply to Columbia early, but, seriously, there is absolutely ZERO chance I'll get into that school.

if I somehow manage to get into Brown, and convince my parents to let me go there, we can be roomates.

haha, my parents are like, "you know, you probably shouldn't go to college in vermont. you wouldn't be far enough away from home to get the full college experience blah blah blah." trying to get rid of me much?

i thought about columbia, but they have a super-intense core curriculum, which i really don't like the sound of (one of the coolest things about brown is that there are pretty much no requirements). it'd be the coolest thing ever if we ended up going to the same college, though.

as long as you don't do what i did, and just go wherever sounds alright because you're too lazy/apathetic to make a real decision.
