Senior Reflection #1
I'm really pissed about college. In my opinion, I got totally screwed by admissions offices. For three years I was told if I worked hard, I would be rewarded. Know what? I kind of wasn't. Yeah, yeah people can say JMU is a great school all they want, but we know better. I'm thankful to be able to afford college, but I know I'm better than JMU. It almost kills me that no one else thinks I'm not. This whole experience has made me really unenthusiastic for college, but just happy that I'm getting out of high school.

Do you have any idea how pompous and insensitive this is? There are plenty of kids who were dying to go to JMU and didn't get in. Be grateful that you live in a state where there are fantastic public schools and that your parents can afford to pay your way there. There are several kids who follow your blog who are going to JMU, and you have no idea how inconsiderate this post is and how terrible you've made them feel. You aren't better than anyone else and you shouldn't have been so pretentious as to assume you'd get in to the three schools you applied to. If you have this kind of attitude, you don't deserve to be anywhere and there's no way you'll truly enjoy your college experience. Get off your high horse and realize that you won't always get everything you want. Did you ever think that you maybe didn't work as hard as you could? Or that maybe you just aren't as smart as your parents tell you everyday?
