College and such..
Apr. 13th, 2006 08:37 pmToday was pretty boring. Slept in until 11-ish and then got up.. Ate some food.. went on the computer.. did laundry.. That's mostly my whole day right there. I kinda worked a little on scholarships, but yeah.. Didn't really get all that much done. x_x
Anyway.. Today, my mom was like.. talking about her co-worker or whatever and how her kid got into a lot of colleges and that they're visiting them before they decide where the kid wants to go. The way my mom said it was all.. I dunno. Kinda condescending, like it was my fault I didn't get into a lot of colleges. Umm.. sorry, but only applying to three colleges doesn't really make a huge acceptance stack, if you know what I mean. I reply with, "'Cause I only applied to three schools!" and she says, "You want architecture. Why apply to schools that don't have it? If you didn't already have a major, then you could apply for more --" and it's like.. umm.. yeah right. I know they wouldn't let me apply for more! And when you apply to a school, you have to state a major. If I told them that I didn't know what I want to major it, 'cause seriously, I don't like architecture that much, then they would keep badgering me until I chose one. So whatever.
Everytime college comes up, it's like, they talk about their friends and co-workers and stuff and compare me to them. "How come you didn't apply here?", "Why didn't you get accepted there?", "Why'd you only get accepted to one school?", etc.. Well, as much as I would like to get TONS of acceptance letters like everyone else is at school, it doesn't work unless you're willing to shell out the money to apply. I didn't apply to almost every UC and CSU, like all these other people. And when I hear people in my class going, "Oh, I got accepted to blah, and blah, and blah, and blah" with like.. at least five or six schools, yes, I get hella jealous. And I know that if they could get in, I could probably too. But unlike them, I didn't apply and therefore, have less bragging rights than they have. No one at school has asked me what schools I've been accepted to. Sometimes, I'm happy that they don't. Maybe they assume that because I'm smart, I got in a lot of places.. Whatever it is, it's all better for me 'cause then they can't say, "Oh, only one?" knowing they can throw their acceptances in my face and feel so proud of themselves for getting into more schools than I did. Yes, I'm a little bitter, but wouldn't you be too?
...
In other news, I just checked my e-mail and.. yay me! I got accepted into UC Riverside and I didn't even apply. XP At least I can now say I got accepted into two schools. Isn't that weird that it comes when I'm ranting about colleges?
