So today I got my acceptance notification to University of Maryland (my dream school, btw).
I also got into Rutgers and GA State, but I got those acceptance letters long ago.
I can now breath. No more college essays, no more worrying about whether Ill get in...
Senioritis, here I come!
University is awesome. :]
Dont drop your guard too much, they can still drop your :daisy: if you falter now.
Oh yeah don't slack off. At Uni your work is going to be harder than ever, so better to get a running start now than to just laze around.
college park is a ********** i almost went to the engineering school there. good academics bad crime and depressing atmosphere.
HAVE FUN!
only a few months left of Uni... so close! I'm dying here!
work with no expectation of tomorrow, and it will be slapping you in the face that much sooner.Quote:

Also: You suck....I have to wait till march to get any acceptance
Well I figure that the ideal location near DC makes up for that.Quote:

Also, my first semester of college was easier than my second semester of senior year high school (thank you especially Intro Psychology. :laugh4:), so try to ease yourself in your first semester because it will probably get hard real soon.
Congrats Hooah! Been there, done that, so yeah, just don't completely screw up this last semester and then it's a taste so sweet you can't imagine.
...and if you ever do find yourself planning a mini-excursion to DC, let me know. :yes:
Welcome to DC! Try not to get stabbed on the Green Line!
...yeah, this too. :shifty:Quote:

I've taken to using the bus now, so I don't remember exactly, but it's something like 40-50 cents per trip.)
As for bars, once you can go to them, that is, you might actually be better off sticking to MD. They're expensive as all holy hell near pretty much every metro stop, so unless someone finds a nice place where you can get two dollar beers or less don't even bother.
I would recommend some places to eat, but none of them even approach being kosher, if you're still following that strictly. If not, go to Ben's Chili Bowl first thing, then Henry's Cafe down the street. Henry's has some damn good fried chicken and decent sides.
Good luck. I've heard UMD is a really fun campus to be on. It's really big, so I imagine they're plenty to do social-wise.
Oh, and if any of the bus lines go into College Park, use them instead of the metro. Cheaper, and you get a nice view. I don't think any of the lines extend beyond the district border, but I could be totally wrong about that, so take advantage of it if you can.
Congratulations!
You live in the town of GT and your dream college is UM? Kids these days... :no:
I hate math, so...Quote:

Im actually planning to join the Auxiliary Police Force, so I dont think the police will be a problem for me.
Plus I plan on having a quiet time at Uni. After all, all my efforts must go into the FBI so I can get in.
get a fake id best decision you will ever make.
