Mary, baby, please don't think I'm a bore

I've realized that if I go to NYU for four years, I will be about $60,000 in debt. But, at the same time, I also know that if I go for a year and then transfer, I've actually lost about $15,000. As I can't very well just transfer to someplace like CofC while keeping my major. And I don't know how transfer credits really work when the credits are

You're probably one of the few exceptions who really is that weird. And could pull off the hamburger phone. Everyone else just has to settle for the hot topic shirt that says "hold on, I'm on my hamburger phone." Or whatever the quote is.

I miss you. I bring you up in stories to my roommates all the time and they usually are along the lines of "OH MAN ONCE ME AND MY ROOMMATE MARY........... oh nooo i mean my old roommate. :[ :[ :["

I miss you. I promise I'm going to come see you as soon as possible.

I hate how the film constantly made blatant references to various subculture icons in an attempt to be "hip," a la Sonic Youth, The Moldy Peaches, and Dario Argento. It was a little (or a lot) too pretentious in my opinion.

yo,

i'm briana [severson], an 06 scgsah graduate in creative writing, the pioneer CW student to go to NYU. (rising jr now). i dunno how i stumbled upon your journal, but i did and consequently am now stalking you. mhmmm. anyway: i'm going to be $100k in debt by the time i graduate, but after a while i just don't think about it. yes, it's probably the worst decision i could ever make, and yes, i'll never have financial freedom...but fuck it, i'm doing what i love and what i've always wanted to do in a place/at a school that i love. life's too short & all those other cliches.

also: i see you have myla churchill for playwriting. she's amazing, amazing, amazing. on the last day of classes, she brought in champagne and i got drunk. yeahhhhh.

anyway, i know you probably know shannelle better and y'all have the same major(?) etc etc, but if you ever want another opinion on anything nyu, hit me up via this or f-book. i love connecting w/ ex-govies. awesome.

Funny. When I first got to governor's school a few people remarked on how I looked "just like Briana!"

Are you not a dramatic writing major? And what you say helps. I think that honestly I may just use the money as a solid excuse instead of talking so big on other worries: so far away from home, not knowing anyone, unsure about my major, wondering if I'll like a big city/be able to easily adjust, falling even further away from my current relationships. I guess your average college fears.

And I don't know how much you may care, but I thought I'd tell you taht you were always remarked highly of after having left. A lot of other creative writers aren't so lucky.

Apparently I wasn't logged in.
