from my perspective on the outside, everything is structured to encourage curiosity
open curriculum, satisfactory/no credit, etc.
i want to explore and take risks and plunge into random wild studies and see what unfolds
it also encourages laziness for those unfit to use the system though
i want to figure out what i want to figure out for the next 80 years in life
π my ass is too scared to be lazy at college i think
nice.
like granted i am doing well because i know my shit but i could be doing more
i mean
grade inflation is pretty high here
yeah there's like no competition here
if you're doing a good job and you're learning like
which is good
π
actually?
yeah basically
shittttt
we're at most competing by talking about scores and evaluating how shit the prof is in terms of grading philosophy essays
do u need to interview to join clubs and stuff?
caught a story from the tour guide about her having a breakdown in organic chem and the immediate reaction from the classmates was to console her and invite her to study groups
so like... goated?
some stuff but the biggest competition is probably waiting for midnight organ concert
π
bruh
not sure about stem classes but yeah people are inclined to help each other and have never heard of backstabbing stories
did u get a naked donut today @hidden heart
nope didn't go to library
i physically couldnt do a cutthroat school
dang
i don't want to be a toxic competitive bastard anymore π
π€
that's what i thought but after coming here i realized that i was the problem.
i mean im literally looking at brown like "this shit is going to fix me"
and it's like it's not going to
However.
babe
that's a delusion
I'm going to chug the Kool-Aid for as long as I need to to write the essays, then I can un-chug it later and fix myself.
π
that's exactly how you get into toxic relationships
please don't develop a toxic relationship with your university
too late for that mf
i understand it's a deluded belief
if that's your mindset i think the school you're looking at is harvard
he was dreaming about brown 1 hr ago
or yale
i just need to feel it for every school im applying to until i'm done writing the essays
π
so that i can REALLY write that shit quickly
it's called you're a dumbass
gg.
i mean if you don't connect to the schools naturally when you're writing essays
there is already a problem
nah
there were some schools i knew i didn't give a fuck about when i applied last year
i dont agree
hmm we're different
idrc about any of my schools or decisions
gg
i knew i didn't want to go to like
i def dont think i can hack it at a place like jhu or smth
some of the schools just because of the essay
like i liked yale and chicago and my essays were very good because of it
hell nah
you can write your way into pretty much any school, you don't even need to be cracked or anything
get good then?
true, that's what i did
but still i'd say do it authentically lol or else you're just lying to yourself
0/16.
(number of acceptances)/(number of schools applied to)
oh it's going to be 0/20 dw.
im not qualified for any of these
π
im legitimately lost asf in the sauce idfk what im doing and im hoping it works
what's your list
i couldn't see a world in which i went to a different school when i was applying, so i just bsed all my apps except for the main one ngl
it's not mine it's my parents' fr
and my shit's pretty mid too i think i just got lucky
no worries
i have like a few hours of service and i swam for my hs
that's it
im literally just numbers
both in interest and profile
same
so i guess that's good
damn what
i can save u tho
you two wild
like i think i legit
get the screwdriver out
got so lucky or some shit
gg.
i should not have gotten into all of the schools i applied to
i think essays prob
wtf you went 4/4 for ivies?
but i deadass have nothing
ye
one of my awards is legit just winning a randomass tournament from freshman year debate
which i quit after freshman year
it's like ?
because i hate yelling at people for 8min straight π
it's definiltey still winnable i think
unreal activity it's lowkey scary
if you write well
1560
my numbers are completely fine
ok
3.968 UW maximum rigor 1560
damn okay
ye u dont
...you said it, not me
my character is "i'm tired and i want to stop being a tired bastard help"

i really don't know wtf is going on or what im doing
sounds like it's time for you to develop into yourself and not what your parents want tbh
i could definitely cook up something for you
idk what i want to be
LMAO
:dogesmile: i don't want to go to mit
well time to start thinking and discovering that!
jkjk (for all the mods looking at me and preparing my warn, fuck you)
i think most people find their interests in their 20s and 30s so you're doing just fine
what if you never find your interest
rare asian spotted

ill get u any school
malcolm x community college
then you end up being just like the other 107 billion people who have ever lived
college apps r light looking back
gg
true
maybe its just survivor bias or smth
i mean the essays would be light
idk what they call it
but i want to write sincerely for them
we're saying this while being in ivy leagues lmfao
but i physically cannot for some
GOOD
i wish i could genuinely tell them why i love the school
that's okay, that means you don't like the school
how i imagine walking down the halls
then why not do it
im shit at writing so it's going to be shit unless the sincerity and love shine through
π
Brown livin in my head rent free
i'm literally asian male stem as well
mit doesn't care that much about essays tbh
im prob worse at it tho
π
im legit a fraud idk how i've made it this far
nah, i'm legit garbage
KIND OF IMPRESSIVE NGL
im the fraud
no
the frauds (plural)
there can only be one impostor
ah ok there can only be one
mb
ok but the server is big enough for two impostors
playable?
the best part is that that's not a joke
mfs will peak in hs/college
i peaked at the very beginning of elementary school
top 1 L
i beat u by 11 years fr
real
now im gapped
i also just realized like
0 ppl from lab get into brown
so
LOL
i mean i picked the shittiest acceptance rate school i could have because i had a dream so
w/e
it's out of my hands now
nah, it's not
not like i'm going to fucking die or smth because of this
Youβre gonna be fine
still in your hands for RD or maybe u get brown ED
unless logan powell orders a truck to slam into my home because of the dishonor that came from having my app sent to their office
then my bad mr. powell
simp stfu
mb boss.
see
the biggest W is that my state school is uiuc
i would help you
how old are you
turning 18 in 5 days
oh cool
but i feel like im 14 can we just go with that
same age then
i still instinctively say im 14 at the airport
luck when did you turn 18
π the tsa officers r malding
like a month ago
i peaked when i was 3
no joke
wait how is that one opssible
LOL
if you dont mind are you able to fill me in on that one
π
i dont understand it
how is that surprising
the peak at 3?
was mathematically gifted maybe 2 levels short of terence tao
then just didn't develop
gg
no, this
by 2 levels i mean like 30 iq points each
i grew up with rarely people younger than me in the same grade
but now i've encountered many
i guess im cooked idk
i thought i was old lol
i wanted to be a 16 yr old admit
lmfaooo
but i got skill gapped

unforutnately
that helen girl
ye
kinda
who?
some harvard yt
i've seen her on campus a couple of times
harvard students are more pretentious in general than other ivies except maybe yale
just search helen haravard, she's a ytver
π€
yep
as advertised in bold font, yes
from my personal experience probably
i've met the bad fruits at brown too tbh
lmfao bye
not true
oh i know
"yeah ur freshmen r just worse π"
harvard isn't even the best school in cambridge
dunno why they think they so good
like
cmon
it's like the reasoning was lit at first: the learning is just super fun and you get a wealth of extra knowledge with every pass of the material
it's not even domestically it's districtially
and then it's just like "ye but we're the best so w/e lol"
and it's like oh ok thanks for getting to the point.
βAs the joke about the MIT-Harvard divide went: A popular grocery store is situated about halfway between the two schools. A sign in front of the store advertised, β5 Cans of Soup for $1.β A student walks in and asks, βHow much for 10 cans?β The clerk replies, βAre you from Harvard and canβt count or from MIT and canβt read?β
π
wild
i think the best beef i know is between williams and amherst
amherst comes over to williams for a football game and spraypaints a massive "A" onto their field
williams, at an amherst home-game, comes over and spraypaints a big "B" on

bro are you not going to sleep
for soemone who didnt apply to harvard you sure are interested in us sylvia
nah
i was going to do some math stuff
...family reasons
lmfao
fair enough
π€
wait r u in math 55.
is it fun? i heard it was hard
nah, im in math 0090
lmfao
probably do math 350 or 540 here
but nah im not in 55
learn more every time i take it
not smart enough
is it actually that hard
doing 55b next sem tho probably
i've heard about it in like
nah, it just takes a lot of time
definitely could be if you know how to do proofs
im not getting in 
not with that mindset
not that hard to learn
math is just practice tbh
there's 55a and 55b
time to develop some harry potter-esque invisibility cloak and observe the class from the corner
a is fall sem and b is spring sem
you can audit
^
pretty sure harvard allows that?
yeah
yeah
and it's free
so
funny that knowledge doesn't cost money
but a degree does
i see
says much about our world
i mean yeah
free knowledge!
put harvard on anything and people will pay
audit = free knowledge
free knowledge = money
audit = money
true
real?
just look at the harvard book store
yeah you can sell courses to desperate asian parents
TRUE
it's like the easiest income ever
i was getting paid for like
$60 for an hour of teaching writing at some point
ok wait but if i do well in math 160 i might be balling
maybe i could do it for math
πΈ
IT'S WINNABLE.
true
no im already taking math 16100
dont know what that is and dont care
what's the cube root of 16100
uchic probably
what content
touch grass
beginnings of calculus
why do you know all of these terms
π
yeah.
vivaldi firefox and win64
sure
bro going to delete his OS
it would solve all 3
typical league players after a loss
so surely it's a sufficient solution
π
this is also me. so.
if u know u know.
wtf
yeah it just gets worse.
htat's
you're a fucking nerd
yeah ti's over
most asian thing ever
all makes sense
i die tomorrow
luck are you asian
you're cooked
fellow korean wakes up in my body
yeah
should have been born a diff person
be a queer white person in your next life
ok but winning in league feels p good.
never
i'd choose asian all the time
asian male stem fell out of the meta a long time ago
you're playing against 40 year old dudes with no life lviing paycheck to paycheck with neck beards
yeah.
eh, the biggest problem i have against asian is the limited thinking and bad social environment
i hate being asiam
i mean granted i love my family but that's not because we're asian in all the cases
and i grew up in china lol

this is a big generalization
it's the overarching culture
i know enough asian families to make that judgment i'd say
yeah
a lot of very problematic mindsets and actions
i mean, at the end of the day i couldnt really care less about anything so it's whatever
i cant remember the last fucking time i felt happy for someone else getting ahead and it's sickening π
granted, all races have their own problems, but as someone who is extremely familiar with the asian problems i take much issues against them and one of my life goals is to be able to make an impact on that
mental ward angle!
don't worry, asians haven't felt good for others since 2500 years ago
pretty lost cause due to fajia and confucianism ingrained mentalities
you just need to not care
it's sad but billions of asians are damned so gg
that's even worse
well maybe you can write about this in your college essay and your thinking on what can change
i wish i were kinder
i dont think it'll change
even if i can do the herculean task of being a kind person
which is hard and i hope i can do it
i mean again
you remind me of me
i have 0 ideas for helping a continent of developing ppl damned to comparison
don't insult him like that
π
HAHA
damned to feeling inferior and copy-pasted
are you a doomer luck
tl;dr lost go next
be different.
im not. i cant be.
i try not to doom anymore
that's good
but
if i can be then so can you
i am biologically an asian male lol
but crimson
ok but im an asshole on top of it
me too
me too
see
we're the same person
i tell ppl to ropemaxx on league
oh.
i'ver been banned 6 times
have you heard what has come out of my mouth in csgo?
π
i make russian screamers cower in fear
i dont want to
i would like to believe that i am the worst
so that everyone else is at least somewhat kind
and stfu with this self deprecation
hey just wanted to let you know i will be forwarding these messages to cat, say cheese
HAHAH go ahead
i've never used slurs
and i'm not really toxic irkl
that's what they all say
no like actually
i used to use slurs a lot becaus ei'm a shit
π
thankfully i figured out that it's, like
fucked up?
i hate slurs because i hate being called them
and i got called the f word like 3 times a day on cs lmfao
idk, you seem pretty chill here?
and feeding
just delete league
i just don't see what's the point of insulting people with slurs when you can use much more creative language
there's nothing to tilt me here
π
im not about to get tilted by ppl telling me my application is ass
i can change that
luck has been trying to tilt you for the past hour LMAO
it's like there's a hierarchy do u know what i mean.
it doesn't bc im trying to get like u
LOL
and i go to a private school affiliated with uchicago
π
you have to establish your confidence by telling people to stfu because they don't know what they're talking about
but like
we're all asians
one looking at ivy leagues two in ivy leagues
you know what you're talking about
so?
π
nah, i'm a dumbass
u know who i am more or less
no one knows what they're talking about in life
we all think we know
some people pretend a little better
some people are closer to knowing
i'm like the same age as you dawg
that's one thing i know 4sure
uninstall
ZAWG I'VE TRIED SO MANY TIMES
idt there's much diff
π
delete account
i'll make another
^
play dota2 at least
wtf
ye.
yeah im an asshole
addiction
i mean
maybe time to just singleplayer-maxx
time to step out of comfort zones
naruto run
π
the talented mr. ripley suggests otherwise
i live in reality man wtf
dream is where things build up
π
reality is often disappointing
i think i can change how i act
i think you should watch dear evan hansen is what you should
if i can do it u can
i don't think i can change who i am
i think maybe it's good enough to act kind though
not with that mindset
that yes
i think you need to watch dear evan hansen
my attention span isn't long enough to watch more than a 2 min video
im doomed
LOL
listen to the soundtrack at least
could pique your interest
turn into a theatre kid
give yourself some meaning and a new purpose
could be fun
just search on spotify the original broadway cast soundtrack
Evil
it's won
but i use spotify
SHHH
i'm trying to help someone here
I cant let this happen in good faith π
oh i see
but they're clearly gonna benefit from this
musicals are a very good coping mechanism and temporary help imo
isn't that the movie where they chop the guy's head off and call him a traitor for disobeying the king and selling his merchants off to the invading nation?
WHAT
no wtf
LMAO
oh.
if it were i'd watch it
are you a musical theatre nerd now
bc the plot would have to vastly thicken between that song and whatever scene that'd be LOL
Always have been
hell yeah!
are you coming to brown (potentially)
we could use a few more theatre kids
Shooting my shot π
awesome!
also i randomly thought about this and i realized
it's not tilting bc it's lowkey better than all of the fucking platitudes
"ah you're doing fine you'll get in for sure you're great"
stfu im shitting my pants 24/7.
what
25/7. i expand reality to have even LESS of a grasp of what im doing.
i know im not
what's that
π
Youβve watched the heathers musical or the mean girls musical ?
haven't seen them but am somewhat familiar with the soundtracks
have never been to broadway unfortunately, going this winter though!
this is why youre ngmi
lmfao what

i'll quote a philosopher here on you
Stop telling people theyβre not gonna make it ! π‘
tru
i literally have the plan fr
god's plan
burgerflippers united
"That most deformed concept-cripple of all time.β
born in the burger country, i shall serve it until my dying breath fr
my iq is too low to understand what that rebuttal means so
sylvia is a fucking nerd, don't listen
you're skill gapped in every aspect of life
we all are
not me
nobody is gmi
im gmi
gmi to the gates of hell π
i don't see a world in which i dont make it
3.0*10^8 km/s to there rn
ah, that's the point isn't it? you're kinda blind
fuck you too
not possible
i know
hey that's rude
that's the joke
i'm being ironical
yall brown folks are good at that
i do harvard students only
huh
honestly
π
that is true but i will defend by saying skill issue
waht about ngmi
quite a bit of comments from the harvard side about how brown students are so hot after the football game
oh ya
how does the word spread π
i have had this conversation with cat already
No drug talk
hold on
mods are a bunch of opps ngl
same
Always
crazy how any chat i join starts popping
have to wake up at 7:45 lmfao
zero math done
does always include all of the past and all of the future?
i bring a type of energy that mods do not like, unfortunately
must be some sort of harvard swagger
always gotta rep the big H
haverford college?
hamilton
bunch of unkempt losers in brutalist buildings wearing sweats all day
top 5 for salary
maybe that's my shit i should've applied
idc about salary im planning on being broke until i die
i just hope i can find a discipline i love
with league u will be
rather be broke but have found a little bit of purpose than broke AND lost asf 
i apologize most sincerely
π
fuck all of you guys it's 1:30 am
league brings me unhappiness i lied
been here for 2 hours
i'm so fucking bad at it too
for legit no reason
loser
you've been here as well fucker
lost 2 hours to a random hs bastard
i've been multitasking lmfao
ππ where's the big h rep now fr
lies
was editing someone's essays and thinking about feedback
lul getting paid to be here
what
so basically nothing
ok maybe ur built diff how tf do u do that while also sending this volume of messages
does it not take focus
sending stupid messages to a dull conversation doesn't require thought tbh
he salty
i mean my conversation isn't interesting in the slightest
i already finished them
i sleep at 4 anywyas its fine
plus not like i even study
about the same
oh gl on finals bro
so im chillin
i dont need luck
chad.
-Luck

So Iβm trying to write the, if you could create a class, essay rn
I saw an article saying itβs better to be more serious
But then I also am seeing examples online where it could be sillier
But one consistent thing I see is to try and cover smth that you wonβt find on my EC list or my resume
where's that essay what
if only we'd written it for kilachand π
really? im trying to do the opposite lmao π as in im using some of the essays to elaborate/expand on my ecs in a way that i couldnt with the activities section
mine is relatively serious and relates to a niche academic interest but i think if youre that kind of person u could definitely make it quirky/nonacademic!
well. what exists of mine so far lol π
I just think I do enough of it in the longer essays, or I will when I write it lmao
i think both are good options yeah!
I did mine on a class examining the ethics of cheating in professional sports when all the top athletes are also cheating, (I.e baseballβs steroid era and the Tour de France doping scandals) so itβs kinda serious but also a fun topic
Thereβs just like no topic I have that Iβm anything close to an expert on
But yk thereβs things that I enjoy
I like that topic
A lot of those kinds of vids pop up on my yt shorts, everyone argues that everyone was on steroids at the time lol
yeah i would say do it on something you enjoy
better if its something that shows something about you
/your interests

cuz baking is BASICALLY another form of chemistry (pls nerds lemme have this even if itβs wrong πππ lollll)

generic classes
this is obv but i can see why ppl say that
cooking is just chemistry fr
Or hmm
Whatβs a better idea
Iβm out of them but for mine I just combined my interests into one class lolll
Please get off

that's what it is
