Omg Early response Lol*

The following is a real quote from a University of Michigan email: "I wish UM had early response when I applied. There could be no better holiday gift to give a parent than to tell them you're going to be a Wolverine."

My parents will be so proud of me, fighting the commies, taking back the streets. Oh, what's that you say? Not those Wolverines? Dang, if they're not talking about Red Dawn, what's so exciting about wolverines?

For those of you who haven't had to apply to college in the last couple of years, Early Admissions, or Early Response, is a system where a students choose to turn in their applications in at an earlier date, get a response back more quickly, and are locked into that college. It's an option at many, possibly most, colleges. It's not that exciting.

There could be no better nondescript holiday gift to give a parent than to tell them that they're going to have to pay tuition to go to a college that whose alumni include Bill Ayers and the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog.

*For the entirely internet illiterate this entry's title should be read: Oh my gosh, early response, laughing out loud. Also, if you're that non-internet savvy, how in the world are you reading a blog?
