quote:When I got a pretty high score on the LSAT, I was amazed that even law schools — even top-tier law schools — send basically spam. The mid-level schools at least have the decency to send a fee waiver alongside their spam. The top-tier ones just talk about how great they are. They're all just slaves to U.S. News and World Report, anyway; they have no dignity. :P -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Excalibur, they never stop spamming you. I'm a junior in college, and I occasionally still get college mail. During freshman year, I think I might've gotten some at my college address. But what's even better is that since I'm younger than the average college junior, the mail kept arriving for longer. In fact, my own college kept sending me admissions mailings until about halfway through my sophomore year. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow.

What's weired though is that I didn't even do THAT well on the PSAT (yet not badly either), yet collages still send me their stuff in bulk. Even Fordham University. Mostly online quizzes I'll probably never take. :rolleyes: Posts: 12 | Registered: Thursday, November 29 2007 08:00 |

For me, I got four colledge (for some reason I can never spell this word) letters at the end of my freshmen year, and none through at least 3/4 of my sophmore year.

I can't say callages really spam me, and if colledges do spam me a little, it is quite reasonable. I'm at the end of high school, going to collge next year, so at just about every collage where I subscribed for a brochure, I now get heaps of stuff that provide no information whatsoever or very little, useless information. luckily, the only colloge that is really spamming me, is the clledge that I'm intending to go to, which is Leiden University. College, yes. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Co-designed with Nikki: El Presidente. Give us your drek!

Proms are absurd. But then, so is high school. And so is college. The freshman year mailings are probably aimed at students thinking about transferring. But since they have no idea who those are, they just spam everyone on their lists. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central "Slartucker is going to have a cow when he hears about this," Synergy said.

quote:Why would he, if Aran wasn't going to show? But yeah, I agree about prom being absurd, and the same for both high school and college. But for all the absurdity of high school prom, I actually went... but only because someone asked me (this was one of those things where out of all of my friends, I was the last to know about it). Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have bothered. But what I really find to be absurd is the number of ways people have spelled 'college'. EDIT: Well, what do you know, number 4000. Milestone-tastic!

Recent frustrations of mine. Hmm. Well, earlier today, someone walked into my apartment (while I was here) unannounced, and couldn't come up with a reason for having wandered in. Not only that, the same moron came back in a few hours later with a friend. I'd hate to think I have to lock up even when I'm at home. I mean, who DOES that!? Just walking in like they live here. Christ, now I want to stab someone. -------------------- "Write a wise saying and your name will live forever." - Anonymous Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

Just boot up any Spiderweb game. There's plenty of stabbing, shooting, and spraying acid to go around. Posts: 12 | Registered: Thursday, November 29 2007 08:00 |

Play a game with Vampires, or read a book about Vampires, for some reason when reading the descriptive text of feeling a little heart gasp and gash then die down is strangely calming, or you can threaten them with knifes if they come back. Now its my turn to Kvetch! I keep getting prank calls and hate email from someone I don't know, I asked my friends to find out if it was a joke, but it isn't, I swear I will stick and bleed the person who fills my bulk with spam. -------------------- Vivan los Drayks!

I'm not allowed to date, but nonetheless, I've heard our high school proms are lame.
