Just 4?<\/a>\u00a0 Arkansas high school senior accepted into four Ivy League schools among numerous other acceptances<\/span><\/p>\n

Not a lot of context given with this tryhard.\u00a0 But at least 7 On My Side<\/a> doesn\u2019t question the intelligence of its readers by giving some superficial combined value of all her college acceptances and claim she\u2019s miraculously in possession of $1.6M scholarship dollars, because that\u2019s always bullshit in the grand spectrum of #TRYHARDSZN.<\/span><\/p>\n

But 16 college acceptances, with four of them being Ivy Leagues, not bad.\u00a0 Harvard, Colombia, Penn and Cornell, and with the article not even mentioning money, it\u2019s my assumption that these are merely acceptances and good luck getting together the money to tuition sure hope daddy is a doctor of the variety that actually makes money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Otherwise a good scattering of college acceptances that are actually named, which means that this kid isn\u2019t just flinging college applications into the wind like Gambit throwing cards<\/a>, with almost all of them being out of state, which is a safe assumption that this kid wants the fuck out of Arkansas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering what her family name is, and the fact that her biliteracy is in Arabic, which I can\u2019t imagine is particularly useful in a state like fucking Arkansas, I imagine the goal is ultimately to get out of the state by any means necessary, but if she can manage to get a decent education in the process, then that\u2019s a double win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laughably, the article does point out that the one full-ride offer she has, is to Hendrix; not going to lie, I had to Google them, and it turns out that they\u2019re a liberal arts college in, you guessed it: Arkansas.\u00a0 And when decision time comes about, that full-ride is always a hard thing to ignore, especially from families of immigrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know what they say though, sometimes if you don\u2019t tryhard, you die hard, which I\u2019ve literally never heard anyone say but one of my close friends.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
