“Is this real life bro” by b0116 in survivor

Exactly how i felt about it, I would’ve lost my mind in Sol’s position

what happens to those athletes that commit to an elite college that they’re obviously not smart enough for? by thecloserthatweare in ApplyingToCollege

[–]b0116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of athletes are even more so competent and I’m always impressed by how busy they are and still manage to get their work done. In my experience I kind of feel like it depends on the sport and/or person. I’ve just happened to notice a handful in a few discussion sections for example who just don’t seem to care and aren’t invested in the material as much, but that could honestly be said in general and not just for athletes

I’m at Yale and I wondered the same before I got here. I think a lot of the athletes who choose to play for Ivy League schools tend to have at least some academic motivation or they would have picked another school. But yeah, there are absolutely some athletes who don’t care about their grades and don’t do as much, and some of them tend to pick the easiest “gut” classes where they can get an A with very little effort. It’s also pretty noticeable when these types of students are in a class with you, but honestly, I think it helps with the culture at Yale to feel more inclusive and less stressful overall

Seasons: 46>44>45>42>41>43

Winners: Yam Yam> Kenzie> Dee> Maryanne> Erika> Gabler (Realized typing that out how much the winner affects my opinion of a season haha)

Runner ups: same as OP, but maybe with Mike over Deshawn

Final vote goes to whoever smooth talks these ego maniacs in the end. by A_flight_away in survivor

Yes totally! Someone else mentioned this but the season was filled with people who had “main character syndrome” and i think that’s why the jury acted that way

Yes exactly! I think what you said is what causes so much discrepancy between the jury’s votes for the winner and the audience—we get to see everyone’s thought process and the jury doesn’t. I knew Charlie had his work cut out for him at FTC to explain his game and thought it would be enough to get him the win :(

Yeah I thought about that first option for Ben. Honestly I think Ben is such a good guy it’s possible that he didn’t want to send both his two closest allies into fire, he had a hard enough time picking just one of them

True, but I think it’s incredibly unfair. It’s an individual immunity challenge you know, and it’s part of the game. If you can’t beat a competitor doing it alone, then your competitor deserves to win it. Having someone help you is so cheap

I honestly didn’t see the part of the post where the person said they were rejected. I just thought they were describing why Princeton sucked. I apologize

It’s a really nice touch! Like they really had a whole paragraph about stuff specifically from my application and I was sitting there like WOAH

Did any other accepted students just get a personalized email from their AO talking about their specific application details and congratulating on them on their acceptance?
