Money Matters

Thankfully I'm done sulking over Cornell and Columbia. I mean, schools that start with Cs are so overrated anyway. It's sort of like Abercrombie and Fitch: sure, the clothes are nice, but people only buy them for the name.

I could not be more ecstatic to be going to Vassar College. A beautiful campus, a variety of majors to choose from, only 40 minutes from home, what's not to like? Not to mention that it is one of the most accredited colleges in the US, so I'm covered in the prestige department.

Oh, and did I mention that Vassar is giving me a 43,000 dollar scholarship? How could I possibly refuse such an offer? All the other schools that I applied to (which, mind you, are not as good as Vassar) hardly gave me anything. Money talks, and I like what I'm hearing.

I apologize if the comment about "being born black helping me get into college" offended anyone. I didn't mean it the way it sounded. But I'm sure we all know that Ivy league schools favor minority students over the classic white male such as myself.
