First off, I would like to say that I purposely did not post about the election, because my opinions on the matter are not very nice. I quote thumper: "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." Thank you thumper. Let me just say one thing. There is a reason why people write in Micky mouse on their ballot.
So onward with today's topic: college applications. Problem: the supposedly educated people that write them cannot state a clear question. For instance, upping asking for my contact's email, the application asked for the relationship of the email. I have asked many people what this could mean. Not one has a clue. I came up with some conclusions. I decided that all of these answers would be accurate.
No, my contact and their email address are not in a relationship.
Yes, this is my contacts email.
This is my contact's favourite email.
This is my contact's junk email.
No, this email address is not currently in a relationship with another email address. That would be awkward.
I have a good relationship with my contact's email address.
I am still confused. If anyone knows what this means, please tell me. But here's another question I got: what have you been doing for the past 3 years? (Eg. School, work, etc.) list by month....
.........
.........
Um.. Well... Three years ago in January, I.... Was in school... And then on the 14, I had a swim meet... And then in February, I went to a birthday party... And I went to school....
How do they expect me to answer that? Or is this one of those life story questions?........
.... Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary......
Maybe I should do that. Write a crazy poem and say its symbolic of the last three years of my life. THEY have to figure it out. Then they'll be like wow! Super creative! Full ride! Maybe they just want an answer as confusing as the question. Maybe I should answer it like this:
Email relationship: a European hat with a whiskered cat underneath a pile of "to infinity and beyond!"
Application status: accepted.
