I guess it was to be expected
As some of you might know, I was nominated to apply for the Presidential Scholars program offered by the Department of Education. Of the 3.2 million students in the US, about 3k are granted this nomination. It’s pretty impressive, I guess. It’s based off of SAT score, which explains why I was nominated and not some of the more deserving students at my school, but I digress.

I forgot we don’t live in the future
I want to live in the future already, dammit.
MIT, you fucking whore.
“Hey, I know that you’re already stressed about wanting to get into MIT, so I made a video for you guys about all the cool shit MIT has. Yeah don’t worry about the 7% acceptance rate or that you’re basically screwed trying to get in. We have cool shit, neener neener!”

So I’m in the Chinese Newspaper…
Too bad I can’t read Chinese
Not sure if I should laugh at Jonny in a paper
or
cry over the fact that this guy was in Chinese for four years and can’t read Chinese.
I've decided to get caught up on all of my college...
This post is a bit rant-y and I mainly wrote it just to get it off my chest, and probably makes no coherent sense. Just disregard it, unless you want to read about the insecurities of a High School Senior Nerd.
After submission late December, I haven’t touched anything in regards to college. Today, after downing a can of Monster Rehab (These things are so fucking good), I decided to take...

carolweird replied to your post: IB is insane as shit
the new track is the shit
Is it? I haven’t heard it
IB is insane as shit
But I fucking love the people in it.
Books that have made me cry:
In Chronological Order of Reading, to the best of my memory. Animorphs #54- K. A. Applegate The End - Lemony Snicket Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J. K. Rowling Looking for Alaska- John Green The Fault in Our Stars- John Green
Dammit John Green, stop playing with my emotions

I woke up at 5am this morning
Why? Because I was thinking of all of the essays I had to do. That’s right, I was woken up by the sheer amount of work I have. Just let me sleep, brain; Winter break isn’t over yet.
Ah well. I’m already up, might as well churn out a couple of essays.

Bold those books you’ve read in their entirety.
Italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish or read only an excerpt. (for ones I Italicize, it also means I read an shortened or abridged version)
1 Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
2 The Lord of the Rings – JRR Tolkien
3 Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte
4 Harry Potter series

It happens on a Friday.
Internet Explorer gets back from work with a smile on their face (they pitched an idea for a smoother experience with their next web browser, and their boss loved it). They set their over-the-shoulder bag down by the door, heat up the leftovers in the fridge (it’s a little too late to try and make dinner) and settle down on the sofa for a comfortable...

The Trifecta
I spent a large portion of today with several IB students today, mainly working on a project (Which you guys will soon see). We discussed a plethora of topics, from optimal reading and homework to Kenny’s “Dirty Bed Theorem”. The one topic I found the most interesting, however, is one that I developed myself; the optimal ratio of sustenance to do work to for a long period of...

So it turns out my college apps are very….. not me. So I figured by posting it as a Tumblr post it might have much more voice. This is going to be a very raw, first-draft style form of writing, so please be gentle… Here goes nothing. 2) Engineers have sometimes been stereotyped as “nerds” or “geeks.” Do you embrace or reject that stereotype? Why?
The terms “nerd” and...
