Sometimes I think I’m going to implode with envy and jealousy and resentment and unfulfilled lust.
I’m not even sure that they’re in a relationship, I just read too much into one measly text and now the horrible possibility refuses to leave my mind. But even if they AREN’T, he’s still posting videos on her wall and saying things about how he’s glad she liked it...

gwendolynlives:
It’s okay if they don’t accept me. That doesn’t say that I’m not a good person, or that I’m not intelligent, or worth it. It just means that the papers they receive about me don’t describe me in the way they want it to. And if they don’t think that I’d be a good fit for their school, then they are…

Good news: I got a phone call from St. John’s and was offered admission! I’m really happy about this, because I reallyreallyreally like that school :D
Bad news: I got deferred from U of M. I feel kind of numb about this, because many of the classmates that I envy the most have gotten in, but another part of me really can’t bring itself to give a shit. My feelings about attending...

Fucking deferred from UChicago.
I don’t know what I’m feeling right now, but it isn’t good. The only two acceptance letters I have right now are to Sparta and Hawkeye-land, which are safeties I knew I was going to get into, and —no offense to those who attend those institutions, I think they are great but might not be for me— not really schools I want to go to. So my...
Anonymous asked: i WILL make that argument, actually. you might as well have your fun while you’re all still together in one big group. it wouldn't be pointless just because it's your senior year; it's actually a great reason. if it goes sour then you won't have to deal with it for long before you start fresh elsewhere. of course, you can't know that it'll go sour unless you try...

Magnet
My crush on him is a week old.
This makes me the most shallow person in the universe, but Milton got a haircut, and it looks bad. Why don’t guys ask their female friends what they think of their hair before they get it cut? Anywho, whatever spazzy crush feelings I had for Milton seem to have transferred right over to his friend Magnet.
I’ve written about Magnet before. The fact that...

In lieu of a man, I shall marry a cookie.
