My Love Affair With Sinfest.com

Whenever I feel down, I can always just browse through that website and I immediately have a smile on my face. It's just that perfect combination of hysterical and adorable. If you need an emotional pick me up (and you're like me and don't own a pet), go to www.sinfest.com. I guarantee smiles (if it fails, I'll make up for it by posting a video of me doing something ridiculous).

You Know What's Sad?

How College Admissions Actually Works

I’ve come to the conclusion that admissions officers pick students via the enie-minie-miney-moe game.

How did I come to this conclusion? Well, this has basically been my college admissions experience this year. Some colleges I put a lot of effort into. Either I sent emails to teachers/admissions officers or I made sure my theater audition was freakin’ awesome. I even did this for one of my “safeties”, because they have a really kick-ass theater program. Other colleges I put very little, if any, effort into. Either I never made any correspondance what so ever, or I didn’t have to audition.

Well, here’s what happened. The schools I put the most effort into flat out rejected me. The schools I put a decent or little amount of effort into put me on their wait list (including that dumb safety). The schools I put absolutely no effort into not only accepted me but dumped a crapload of money into my lap.

Ok, so maybe admissions officers don’t play enie-meenie-miny-moe, but whatever they do lacks order and common sense. Seriously people, what gives? And if you or a friend are an admissions officer, I don’t mean to insult you or anything. But, how in the world does this make any sense?

Seriously

I need to keep with this more often. I don't know why, though, since no one reads it :( But, hey, I'm certainly not going to get any following if I don't post anything. With more free time on my hands, this should start kicking up again (hopefully, if I actually follow through this time).
