Well, well, well.The initial disappointment of being rejected from practically every school I applied to has worn off. I guess I'm back on track, and actually, I'm relieved that I don't really have to keep up on Ivy League-level academics. The last thing I want to do after slacking off in high school and a large portion of middle school, is to be obligated to hit the books and study all the time. So, I think Cornell is pretty much out of the picture maybe. It's too much work, too many cases of students committing suicide, too isolated, too cot damn hard. Rutgers, I think, would be like High School Part II, as everyone has been dubbing it. Too many retards that I already know. Though it would be nice to see friends and people I already know, I want a new experience. I'm left with Boston (which I know absolutely nothing about) and NYU. Everyone (especially guys) are telling me not to go to NYU because it's "gay" and I'm apparently going to return home as a big "NYU-reprazhent" drama-fag. Though I'm sure (well, 99.999% sure) that this is not going to happen to me, I do have a few concerns. Especially the urban surroundings.. I've told myself since I was pretty young that I love urban-ish, downtown settings.. There's a lot of energy and fun going on, but I'm just kind of afraid that I'm going to get lost there. In short, I'm afraid I'm going to be a lonely loser eating microwaved Cup-o-Noodles all day by myself. I can just imagine my roommate talking about me to her friends with disgust, saying how weird/annoying/creepy/quiet I am. Or something. I don't know. I mean, it's a city. A really big city. Another thing I noticed about NYU was that I've been there a few times for open houses and everything, and I haven't seen one happy looking student there. They all look stressed out, (very indie-oriented), and angry. Also, everyone there is skinny, hot, very attractive. I'll be the awkward, ugly duckling there. T-bone's wise older brother said, "pick the one that you had the best feeling about." Honestly, I felt pretty crappy at each of them. It rained in Boston, and we got there much too late to catch the tour/info session last summer. My mom hated NYU and yelled at me because I gave a bum money. Cornell just didn't do it for me. My mom loved it. Rutgers.. highest STD rates ever, high school part II, nothing special. NYU I guess is probably my first choice. The cost of living is so damn high though. Man. This college stuff blows.
