Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson, Bill Gates, Anna Nicole, the Royal British Family, all of the filthy, disturbingly wealthy assholes who are getting what I deserve. Granted, some of them worked for it, but hear me out. I have sufficient reason to create action figures of these flaming buckets of shit and money and then put them in a blender. But, no. Really, hear me out.
I want to be so rich that money is a non issue. The only reason I want to have even heard of money, or the concept of money, is just because I have huge, mass sums of it. Enough to buy me seven million chai teas on fifty four thousand month long trips to Tahiti with eighteen of my own Luxembourg-sized palaces filled with clothing I will never wear. Furthermore, I want to be able to pay for college. Actually, that last one is all I really need. I want the last 11 years of my life to have been worth something.
Yes, I am that asshole who always answers in class. I always turn my shit it on time. I have never been late or skipped a class. I got a 1560 on my SATs, and I skipped my junior year of high school by taking night classes and summer school. All in all, I hate where I live and I have busted my ass, not because I in any way shape or form enjoy learning, but I loathe Vienna, Virginia. I did, indeed, recognize my own hatred for this place at about seven years old and have since kicked myself in the ass to be the best at sports, best in school, most fun at social events, best looking, and the most respectful to other people. I have extra curricular activities coming out the wazzoo. And by wazzoo, I mean every orifice possible: the nostrils, the ears, the mouth, the anus, and, yes, the vagina. I love French, English, History. You guessed it: I hate all math and science. "Neat." you are thinking. No, not "neat" at all. Because math and science are what get you places... but I digress.
Back on topic, I recently applied to NYU, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Dartmouth, Harvard, and UVA. I was waitlisted by Harvard because I am an abomination when it comes to anything mathematical, but accepted by all of the others. Despite $20,000 in scholarship money, I still cannot afford any of them. My parents could have told me back in, oh, say, first grade, "Give it up, honey, you can't go there anyway! So why don't you just go smoke pot like the rest of the pseudo-hippie miscreants that go to your school?" Oh, how much time and effort that would have saved me. If only I had KNOWN that I was predestined for failure...
I wouldn't have spent all my time at practice,
I wouldn't have feigned interest in looking pretty and being perfect so people would be proud of me,
I would certainly not have turned in a single homework assignment,
I would have kicked my teachers.
I bet I am the last person to have realized this. I would even wager that I'm foolish to think that even though I come from an upper-middle class white suburban neighborhood and my parents rake in almost seven figures a year, that they would sacrifice a beach house in their retirement as opposed to a condo, for me to go to college. Understandably, they worked hard all of their lives for that money and truly deserve it, but when they had children, they assumed responsibility for their finances. Yet, I am paying for my entire college education, have had a job since 6th grade, bought myself a car, pay for all of my food, school supplies, etc., and they still will not pay for even half of my college.
I'm going to go into porn. I just wasted 11 years of my life busting my ass for a dream I could never achieve. 'Atta girl, Hadley. Way to have your eyes open.

You're correct in assuming that my silence was in agreement to your comments about Michigan women. We are the #2 or 3 fattest state, behind only Wisconsin and possibly Minnesota. That number definitely includes women...and the UofM.

Yeah, I decided to take the job. Working in Japan has been a goal of mine since 1999. I want to nail down the language completely. You may have heard some negative comments that I made about the Japanese, but the job is with a German company so I won't have to deal with the Japanese politics internally.
You're right about the football teams too. I am so pissed about the 10-3 season this year, but there are very few fans nationwide that would complain about finishing #7, no matter how it happened.
It's strange, too, how Tennessee always beats big ten teams (soundly), and how the big ten teams have owned Florida in bowl games lately. There is no doubt that Michigan and Tennessee, along with Miami, Oklahoma, Florida State (slipping), and Florida (also slipping) are the most consistent programs over the past 10 years. I left out Nebraska because they are having huge problems now. The schools I mentioined reload as opposed to others who rebuild. It appears, though, that USC and possible Ohio State will be good for a while too. I hate to admit it, but I think Tressel is doing a good job. Hell, I'd go to UT if my work took me there. I deal with Nissan (in Smyrna) a lot, and I could end up down there someday.
uhh...Ahem.
Author: I didn't mean to be such a dick. If you're 16, then of course you're going to be a little naive and inexperienced. If you have $20K, then try this. Go to the University and get a job in the cafeteria. At some schools, you can COMPLETELY cover your room & board (including meals) by working 14~20 hours/week in the cafeteria. That would leave you with tuition bills only, and $20K will go a long way at a public, in-state school when you're only paying tuition. Just don't end up like the 15 year old girl who went to Alabama-Birmingham. She became the crack-whore for the entire football team.

We are somewhat hijacking a good thread, but the truth is that Michigan had a great year and I am proud of the fact that 10-3 at my alma mater makes us talk about firing people. Fulmer did not need to leave Michigan off actually, because with Osbourne retiring the coaches were going to make sure he won. It was not that close. Unlike the game which I lost 800 dollars on (about half my savings at the time) in which Ryan Leaf spiked the ball near the goal line and the clock continued to run and the game was ended. I have never been more angry, oh wait no that is not true I have been more angry one other time, when Jabar Gafney dropped a football in the end zone I was sitting next to and the ref made a horrible call giving Florida the win and robbing TN of a victory (though our idiot defensive coordinator going into the prevent has cost us lots of games in the last few years and contributed to that one). By the way did you see Florida-FSU this year? I hate Florida but I have never in my life seen a more poorly officiated game or one that was more one sided. I have been watching about 50-60 games a year for several years now but this years UF-FSU was the most outrageous.
You never said anything about the girls, but I guess that you may have agreed which is why you married a Japanese lady. By the way I think you should go take the good job. You are on the fast track, do not get off. Emphasize it is a career move, and then when you get the next step up the ladder to leave Japan, your wife will know it is a move for the same reasons and will have a hard time defending "holding you back".
Yeah those schools are all very competitive, I am lazy so if I kill the GMAT and decide to go back to school to get an MBA I am going to Harvard where they have that collaborative crap and no one gets bad grades.

Actually, I love Hank's version of Rocky Top. It has been going through my head since I mentioned it.
And Michigan Stadium really represents the attitude of the University. They are willing to sell their souls to be the biggest and best. The grad programs at UofM are particularly brutal. I've heard stories of people agreeing to give a copy of their lecture notes to a student who missed class, only to write a completely fabricated document to sabotage the other students grade.
And take solace in the fact that Manning just won the MVP and blew out Denver, while Woodson continues to want out of Chokeland.
And the urban legend around here is that Fulmer left Michigan off his top 25 in the final coaches poll of the 1997-98 season just to ensure that Nebraska won a championship. Do you know anything about that?
It still hurts to talk Michigan football right now...

I do agree with you about the rich kids getting in despite not having academic credentials. I realized in school that even if you are in a top 20 law program there are people there who are not terrificly intelligent. I think the difference is that most people at a top school really are very bright. If you go to a crappy school most people are not and even without working you can do very well. I was actually surprised at the stellar academic reputation U.M. enjoys, I do think the place is too cold and I do think the girls are ugly compared to the south but mainly I am bitter about the Heisman and I am jealous that you have the biggest stadium. Oh well. I do respect it as a co top 10 college football program all time. I hope for your sake Tressel is not like your Spurrier.

That's why I hate the Ivy League. Many of the students are there because of name alone. Can you imagine GW in an MBA interview!? If he couldn't crush them with daddy's wallet, they all would have laughed him out of the room. I wouldn't value the peer interaction with people who aren't qualified to be in class with me.

I am going to try and give you some advice. It may come out preachy, but I hope that you listen. Normally I would ridicule, but for some reason I am feeling nice.
First off, get off your high horse. If you define the worth of people's lives by their grades, test scores and extracurricular activities then you may indeed be better than your peers. If you instead define people's lives by who they are, how they treat others (and I mean genuine, heartfelt actions not the things you do when everyone is looking), contributions to society, etc. then you may find yourself lacking. All you have been doing the past 11 years is putting on a show, a performance that will hopefully get you to your goal. That is probably why you feel you have wasted all this time, because you haven't been being yourself. You have been playing a part hoping it will get you somewhere else instead of enjoying the journey.
What most students never realize is that grades don't matter. We try to get good grades in high school to get into the good colleges. We get good grades in college to get the best job or get into the best graduate program we can. We study and do homework to get the grade, not to learn, to truly understand and appreciate. Studying is a chore. Ask yourself this, would you rather completely absorb and understand a subject and get a B or just go through the motions of learning, storing it in short-term regurgitation memory and get an A?
As you have stated, money is your motivation and drive. Money is important, very important, but so is everything else. I think you need to remind yourself that all the money in the world won't necessarily make you happy. When you are dieing of cancer at 70 do you think you would be more likely to regret that you didn't make more money or that you didn't build the relationships that you subconsciously craved. Building close and strong relationships when you are preoccupied with money and status can be difficult if not impossible. I'm sure you are saying "I know money isn't everything" right now, but that isn't how you have built your life. How many things have you done for the sake of status or your monetary goal as compared to relationship goals? Make a list, seriously.
Next, try and avoid feeling bitter towards your parents. Talk to them about your decisions and try very hard to understand their perspective. They may be assholes, but try not to burn any bridges if you can avoid it.
As far as college goes, I know you feel like you have to go to the best college you get accepted to in order to reach your goals. If you care more about learning then where you go won't make as much a difference. I, myself, was in a situation similar to yours, though my parents probably would have paid for me to go where I wanted. I didn't want them to have to sacrifice so much and jeopardize their savings so I went to a less expensive college instead of MIT or Caltech. Since then through my interactions with many people in my field, my initial hypothesis that I would get just as good an education for less money has been validated. College is what you make of it whether it is at Harvard or StateU. Sure, you may not have the benefit of the reputation, but that doesn't make you any less capable. Once you get your first job, it doesn't matter any more. If you are incompetent all of the Ivy League education isn't going to help you where as stellar performance will be rewarded even if you graduated from the local community college.
If you must go to an ivy league, there are such things as student loans. Get one.

It's really too bad that our fight song wasn't written by Hank Williams. My greatest moments at the Karaoke bar are when one of you hillbillies tries to sing Rocky Top. You always stumble and fall off the stage, because cowboy boots are slippery.
And just to further disappoint you, Michigan Stadium's original structure was built to support expansion to a maximum of 150,000 seats. Sure, there are a few bad sight lines right by the pressbox, but where else are you going to stick the peasant non-student/non-alumni fans?
If she has trouble with her age, then she should work until she's 18. Save money, then get her loan. I signed a loan application at 17, and it was accepted. With my grandmother dying soon after, I didn't end up needing the money.

NA as someone who started college full time also at 16, and a lawyer, I can tell you that you often cannot secure a loan as a minor. You cannot be held liable for the contracts you make as a minor and that is why it is the individual judgment of the bank whether or not to give you the loan. Thanks for being a dick though. Also Michigan sucks, I hate your ugly stadium that has only been expanded by cramming in more horrible seats with bad sightlines so you could be bigger than Neyland, a stadium that is beautiful and awesome. I got into Chicago and UM but never considered them for law school because your weather is bad and your girls are ugly.
Hadley,
The GMAT does not have hard math, and the LSAT has no math. Go to UVA which is a perfectly fine school academically, then get a 170+ on the LSAT (everyone else I know artificially inflated their score with test prep classes I would suggest you take also, and yes I am still bitter I did not know about them) and then get a scholarship to law school or grad school.

I am calling BULLSHIT.
Here's why:
The only place I ever wanted to go was the University of Michigan. I'll admit that my affinity for the Big Blue is rooted in sports at a young age, and only later in life did I learn of Michigan's academic prowess. If you want to go to Harvard (the Michigan of the east), then go. If you're actually accepted to Harvard, I can personally guarantee that you'll get a motherfucking loan. I had a small inheritance from my deceased grandmother (the only one of 4 grandparents I actually liked, and by chance the only one that has passed into the next) and was able to pay for my first year. During that year, I worked part time and saved my money. I paid out'of-pocket for my second year, then a wonderful thing happened: I was admitted into the College of Business (B-school). Having more than a singular wit, I walked over to the Bank (an institution that lends and stores money for you) and showed them my acceptance letter. They told me that B-school acceptance is almost as good as a low interest credit card to them. They checked my backgroung to ensure that I wasn't a convicted felon, and promptly agreed to pay 127% of my school bills (including room and board) from that point until graduation. They KNEW I would be good for it as soon as I graduated.
IF you truly have been accepted to Harvard, regardless of your major or lack of major, I am relatively sure that you'll have little trouble getting a loan. And if your parents are pulling down close to a million a year, get them to cosign on your student loan to be sure you get it. Harvard is one of a handful of schools that all but ensures success for its' students. Banks know that. They hope you'll deposit your big fat checks in there bank one day.
You'd think that someone who scored a 1560 on the SAT would be aware of the existence of a bank product called a 'loan'.

Go to either UVA (probably the best option and not too expensive) or go to Washington and Lee (I think they have lots of scholarship money, especially if you tell the Dean you are young and hardworking). Then go to grad school at Harvard or whatever. If you go to a top grad school no one even cares where you went undergrad.

EVERYBODY is eligible for Federal Aid. Granted it won't pay for all of your tuition. I am sure you can get yourself a private loan. Or, go in-state where you would qualify for a Hope Scholarship if your grades are so good. School will never be free unless you get a full-ride scholarship. So suck it up... do your fafsa (www.fafsa.ed.gov) but first apply for your Federal PIN (www.pin.ed.gov) since you are most likely under the age of 24, your parent will need a PIN as well.

Fafsa isn't going to help her, or me. It's based off your Expected Family Contribution or EFC for short. If your parents are upper middle class but not rich, you get ass-fucked. But if her parents truly won't chip in for her college education, maybe she could haggle something. I kind of doubt it though, because I'm fairly sure they look at your parent's annual income and decide on that.

I'm in a similar situation to you. My parents are well off, but with two children hitting college age one after another, it's going to be a strain on them. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out, but it would be a shame to have to take my lesser pick of colleges, because they are a big drop from the one I want to attend (though it's not Ivy League). I almost wonder if I should have slacked...

I hate you as much as you hate Vienna.
My ode to Vienna Sausages:
I hate vienna sausage, but not as much as I hate explosions out of my ass.

Don't torture yourself...but don't waste your potential.
