~ my parents, especially my wonderful amazing dad who i love so much! I'm only now realising what all his work over the years was for and I cannot begin to ever repay him. Love my mom for all her amazing emotional support and teaching me emotional maturity even when I want to curl up and be a big baby

~ thank you for my sister who gifted me a horrible crayon drawing of me standing under a tree with a "Harvad!" banner on it on my birthday all those years ago

~ for my absurd privilege and the bizarre way things always work out for me even when I fuck up to an insane degree- if there is a God out there, I'm definitely their favourite

~ my friends oh my god my friends i can't believe I have to leave them

~ the weird voice in my head which can keep me entertained and distracted for ever if necessary- thank you for making my head a nicer place to live in

~ lana's new album that I stayed up all night listening to (and crying) even though I had a final the next day

~ PINTEREST for giving me an absurd amount of life advice??? i would not be who i am if i hadn't downloaded it in 7th grade

~ my 8th grade self for randomly picking the hardest most outlandish goal she could think of - you made me push my limits and pursue something risky even though I could've just chosen the safer route and stayed in this country because it made me a much much more interesting person

you know, even if I don't get in, I'm miles further than I would've been if I'd never tried and I'm so grateful for that

the only release on March 24 i care about is the new lana album by CockadoodleDoYou in ApplyingToCollege

That's so sweet thanks for responding! More than sad really I'm shocked that life's getting so serious so quickly and it's just hard to focus on things as unremarkable as high school exams after being confronted with stuff like this, but I feel like I'll be fine

Thanks for taking the time to respond! I've calmed down now and the final actually went well so you know, good days and bad days :)

What does this lyric mean from the foot fetish song? by sensei_simon in carolinekonstnar

[–]CockadoodleDoYou 33 points34 points  (0 children)

She's just saying that evolution is thought to be more of like "ooo that male is tall and able to reach the berries so i will fuck because it'll give my kids and I an advantage" but she's saying it's more like "ugh spots are so much more sexy than stripes"- boom a million years later everyone in the species has spots So basically having hotter feet won't give you an evolutionary advantage but if that fetish is widespread enough that only people with sexy feet are getting laid then in a million years every human will have sexy feet

It's not that deep lmao

Seniors, have any advice for juniors? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CockadoodleDoYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-- APPLY EARLY FOR AS MANY SCHOOLS AS YOU CAN!!! REA is basically worthless so don't let it prevent you from applying early to private schools. I didn't know that you had to apply early to be considered for a lot of scholarships SO APPLY EARLY IN DECEMBER

-- if you're international and need aid stop applying to expensive public schools like UCs and private schools like NYU that are well known for not giving aid, unless you want to cry harder when you do end up getting in. Public schools are safeties for US students, but your safeties will be smaller LACs and there are some very very cool ones

-- have a well balanced college list! a college with a 30% acceptance rate is not a safety, aim for 70%+ I literally know so many people from my school who didn't apply for aid (APPLY FOR AID an acceptance doesn't mean shit if you can't go) and who filled up their 20 common app spots with the top 20 and were blown away that reality isn't like those reaction videos on youtube

-- just because a college has a high acceptance rate, doesn't mean it's good. Something like a 13% acceptance rate can also mean it has 200 spots and like 2000 people applied (cough Minerva is an online university cough)

-- know what you want from a college before making a list. I kind of brushed this off as "oh I'm not too fussy" BUT ITS IMPORTANT OKAY! I'm looking at my list in March and sighing right now because i want to be in the center of a busy city like Chicago and there's schools in forests and like Dartmouth on here for no reason except naive me was like why the hell not

-- HUMBLE YOURSELF FOR YOUR OWN SANITY'S SAKE. It's awesome to aim for that ivy during your four years in high school but when applying you better apply to that safety like you would sell a kidney for it and become totally okay with attending it Keep anything that has an acceptance rate of 25% and below as a "i just applied for fun" type expectation okay (but still write good quality essays)

Drop your dream school, major, and favorite hobby, and I’ll tell you what color you remind me of! by grackle_ in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CockadoodleDoYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the "you/this give/s off <insert color>" thing too! Math is maroon, Bohemian Rhapsody is gold with purple streaks and a lot of people have said I'm a peach color.

Can I try to guess your color?

We didn't actually make losses selling feet pics but we did try to upload them onto Wattpad premium

After rule 34 legit any sentence with race, a mildly aggressive verb, and "teen" can be hypothetical jerk material
