If you're graduating high school soon, or have in the past, you know that fall of your senior year is the time to fill out college applications. Well, around... October, November, somewhere around there, me and a bunch of friends were in Study Hall at our school. Please note that this is a school for the "Gifted and Talented", you have to be tested to get into it. Well, about 10 of us were sitting around, and 3 or 4 (including me) were seniors. Those of us that were seniors were talking about where we applied and such.
Me: Oh, I only applied to _______, and I fall under automatic admission, so I'm already done.
Friend 1: I'm not even applying anywhere - I haven't taken the SATs yet, or anything. I'm just going to go to the community college my first year.
Friend 2: (points to a large - around 15 colleges high - stack of envelopes in front of him) I'm applying to all of these.
So, my first friend grabs the envelopes and starts flipping through them. All of a sudden, we here, "Hey, (Friend 2), what's St. Anford? Is it some religious college?"
He takes the envelope, and - looking very confused - reads the address. He hands it back to her, trying not to laugh, and says, "Ummm... (Friend 2), that's Stanford." Blank look. "As in, the Ivy League university."
"Ohhhhh..."
Meanwhile, all of the rest of us are in tears we're laughing so hard. Friend 2 then asked Friend 1 how she got into a gifted and talented school again.
