when you're young, your reality is a fishbowl.

I am a sheltered teenager... so you will get (intelligent??) sheltered teenager rants. There seem to be a lot of older, erm, more mature people on here, so I'd just like to provide a younger set of opinions.

College, oh college.

Yeah, so I haven't written lately namely because I have been overburdened with homework (whoever said senior year was easy was wrong because I am taking one less AP class than last year--four--and I am DROWNING in busywork) and college applications.

Speaking of.  My parents seem to think that I am fully capable of getting into an Ivy League--which I doubt--and are thus making me apply to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.  Even if I wanted to attend an Ivy League it wouldn't be any of those three because in my honest opinion you are just paying for the name and prestige and not the education; my top Ivies are probably Brown and Columbia even though I'm not applying to Columbia because they use a totally different application than the Common Application and honestly, I am way too lazy to fill out another one.

Hence me wanting to go to a liberal arts college like Amherst (my #1 pick!).
