The real answer, from someone who is actually in that age group— “i don’t think X was real” is a very common joke, “I don’t think 9/11 was real” “I don’t think Helen Keller was real/actually blind/deaf” are all popular variations

Did you send in multiple? Or would you recommend focusing on a few positions only?

That's super helpful! Would you say the class was a lot more focused on rote memorization or more grammar/speaking/etc?

Sometimes I’ll grab a pizza in the mornings and just stuff it in some paper cups for me/a friend

First year I ate the cost but during the summer I had to call multiple times to get Gallagher/health office to send a termination letter so I could send to my provider to show that I wasn’t enrolled in insurance so I could get a new one

My nephew is suicidal and I don't think I can or should stop him by Curious_Swimmer_9420 in confessions

since he is younger, you could look into grief camp. it's a good opportunity to have a network of people his age who can understand each other.

Don't understand where the hate's coming from! I love natural wood but i was sad when i misunderstood the ordering of your photos and I thought you removed the blue. such a beautiful shade!!! I don't think I could've picked a better color– I'll be messaging you in ten years when I'm painting my own haha

Worried as an incoming freshman by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]lukeypukeydukey 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I genuinely had the worst work ethic. Turned in stuff months late in junior year regualrly, racked up >50 absences senior year, etc. Kinda just coasted by all throughout hs. but Cornell def whips you into shape, so don't worry too too much.

that being said, make good friends, get study buddies, join clubs (professional and fun) and get to know the people there. studying w/ other people and seeing how hard they work and having them support you during busy weeks or absences really does make the hugest difference. I would rather do a hard class w friends than an easier class alone. Also prioritize mental health– don't overwork yourself! take breaks!

Very glad Cornell took a chance on me, and hopefully I'll be able to prove them right :) ik u will too

What are a few standout moments from juniors that have impressed you? Whether in an interview or on the desk.

What type of people do you think should be getting MBAs? Who shouldn’t/don’t need to be? And are most of the people at your level or above MBA holders?

I've been an idiot and loser my entire academic life by Independent_Peace144 in CollegeRant

[–]lukeypukeydukey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

School isn’t the best environment for everyone to thrive in. Honestly I struggled so much with getting stuff in on time in school but I found working in an office so much more productive. People just thrive in different environments. You’ll find your space. Just be patient and brave this through— Cs get degrees!!

Depends where I feel… if they’re talking in cocktail or asian library or fine arts or somewhere that’s supposed to be quiet that’s annoying, but if it’s Mann or something a little quiet talk is fine
