"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I visited UCLA about 2 years ago, and the campus was quite frankly gorgeous. It looked better than most private schools I've seen even. The only issue is that out-of-state tuition is like highway robbery. I still might apply there though, and see if I can get some scholarships or possibly in-state tuition.

Northwestern is also a really sweet campus, located in an amazing city. I'm from Wisconsin and we visit Chicago about once a month at least. I wouldn't mind going to school there, its just that I've had about enough harsh winters for my lifetime.

Where exactly did you apply to anyways? And how many of those did you get into? Thanks.
Most University of California have ridiculous tuition rates for out of states. I got into Davis, LA and Berkeley but didn't go because of that. And also cause I live in New York xD
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Looking back on it, the only places I would have possibly gone over UCLA if I'd gotten are Stanford, Harvard, UPenn, Emory, or Rice. Incredibly happy with my decision!
