You See What Happens?
It’s a hectic time of year. All of us university students struggling with final exams. I remember last year at this time, I was waiting for the results of my Early Action application to MIT. Right now, another class of Stuyvesant students is experiencing that same excitement, stress, and more likely than not, trauma and depression. I got this on a wall post to my Facebook from a friend rejected from Cornell, also known as Stuy v2.0 for the massive number of Stuy students making up its class every year:
Well, guess what? I’m the right guy to ask, because I got rejected from nearly all the schools I applied to, and I have a better piece of advice for you than those other chumps that tell you, “They missed out on some great talent!” or, “You’ll get in somewhere else that you’ll like more!”
Well, guess what. I got in somewhere else. I didn’t like it very much. And I got stabbed here.

You see what happens when you get rejected from the school of your choice? This happens. I hate this fucking place.
I can’t believe I didn’t apply to Brown.
I’m leaving tomorrow.
