THOUGHTS THOUGHT

HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY

IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO TYPE IN CAPS LOCK BECAUSE OF THE IRONIC DISTANCE I GUESS. 

ANYWAY,

THOUGHTS THOUGHT WHILE READING COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL FORUMS ANIMATED BY MY OWN ANXIETY/SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT/SHIT I READ AND WILL QUOTE VERBATIM

1. HE HAS PERFECT SCORES FOR EVERY STANDARDIZED TEST HE TOOK, UNSURPRISED THAT HE REPORTS ETHNICITY AS 'ASIAN'

2. I AM VISUALIZING AN 18-YEAR-OLD HUGGING HER CAT: 'TABITHA,' SHE SAYS, 'I AM SO GLAD I GOT ACCEPTED TO _____! IT MUST BE BECAUSE I LOVE ANIMALS.'

3. SEEMS LIKE THE GENERAL MESSAGE I GET RE: PERSONAL ESSAYS IS TO BE 'BOLD' AND 'EMOTIONAL'

4. I AM LOOKING AT REJECTION STATS AND BEING TERRIFIED & ANTICIPATING DEPRESSION IN GENERAL.

5. JUST SAW SOMEONE CLAIM THAT HIS STATUS AS 'POOR GAY CATHOLIC ARAB' MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DRAW FOR THE COLLEGE, WHAT?

6. 'I'M POOR BUT NOT LIKE HOMELESS POOR'

7. I THINK THE BEST ADVICE HAS BEEN THIS: TO BE 'SINCERE, PROFESSIONAL AND AUTHENTIC' THIS IS MY NEW MANTRA.

8. I AM APPLYING TO A SCHOOL THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SNEEZE WHEN YOU ABBREVIATE ITS NAME

9. I AM TIRED OF TAIWAN. THIS IS MY PERSONAL TOURISM CAMPAIGN. 

10. A JOYOUS CAPS LOCK DAY TO ONE AND ALL. AMEN.

P.S. JUDITH BUTLER'S MOLE IS THE BARTHESIAN PUNCTUM. HOPE THIS LINE WON'T CATCH UP WITH ME WHEN I APPLY TO GRAD SCHOOL.
