ally：Who？s　getting　in　early？？

This　week　an　annoying　little　group　of　us　is　going　to　find　out　whether　or　not　we　got　early

admission　to　the　top　colleges　in　the　country。　This　is　it。　There？s　no　more　time　for　our　parents　to

build　another　new　wing　on　the　library。　No　time　to　bribe　another　esteemed　alum　into　sending　the

dean　of　admissions　a　letter　of　remendation。　No　time　to　star　in　another　school　play。　The

envelopes　are　already　in　the　mail。

I？d　like　to　take　a　moment　to　point　out　that　the　decision　is　pletely　arbitrary　because　basically

we？re　all　perfect　specimens。　We？re　gorgeous；　intelligent；　well　mannered　and　eloquent；　with

influential　parents　and　perfect　transcripts　（except　for　the　occasional　blip；　like　getting　kicked　out　of

boarding　school　or　having　to　take　the　SATs　eight　times）。

I？d　also　like　to　give　a　word　of　advice　to　those　of　us　whodo　get　in　early：　Try　not　to　talk　about　ittoo

much；　okay？　The　rest　of　us　have　a　couple　more　months　of　waiting　to　do；　and　if　you　want　to　get

invited　out　with　us；　you？d　better　not　even　mention　the　wordsIvy　League　in　our　presence。　Our

parents　do　that　quite　enough　already；　thank　you　very　much。　Not　that　it？s　a　sore　subject　or

anything。

I　think　it？s　safe　to　say　we？re　all　suffering　from　late…winter　waiting…to…hear…from…colleges　cabin

fever。　It？s　time　to　run　a　little　wild！　Just　think；　the　later　we　stay　out；　the　quicker　the　days　will　blur

by。　And　believe　me；　every　wicked　thing　we　get　up　to　will　be　glamorized；　dissected；　and　blown

totally　out　of　proportion　right　here　by　yours　truly。　Have　I　ever　let　you　down？

You　know　you　love　me。
