\"\"Souse<\/a>: South Fulton teenager accepted into allegedly over 50 schools; claims to have already selected Duke University<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear god, of all the #TRYHARDs on the planet, here we have actually managed to circle back and find ourselves at the same school as one of the already chronicled tryhards.\u00a0 Coming out of the same school that earlier this SZN boasted two fellas who humblebragged about gaining 63 and 50<\/a> college acceptances, we have yet another TRYHARD who has allegedly been accepted into over 50 colleges herself.<\/span><\/p>\n

And because the lion\u2019s share of the colleges aren\u2019t worth writing home about, it\u2019s pointed out that the cumulative amount of scholarship dollars that she\u2019s amassed has exceeded $1.3M dollars despite it not working the way people might think it does.<\/span><\/p>\n

But imagine being the students on the senior wall next to this girl\u2019s, or the two other TRYHARDs who have 63 and 50 schools under their heads, and they\u2019ve only got their three acceptances, and not to any particularly noteworthy schools either.\u00a0 I can\u2019t imagine it\u2019s a particularly great system they\u2019re running at the school, where such obvious visual measuring sticks are literally pasted onto the walls among their peers.\u00a0 This is about as close to Japanese score-posting as we\u2019re going to get in \u2018Murica.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing that is interesting about this particular TRYHARD\u2019s journey is that she claims to have spent a tremendous amount of time; three hours a night over several months, applying to all these schools.\u00a0 Considering the circumstances, and the desire for lots of schools to be able to check off their Affirmative Action participation, I was under the impression that if one was a poor minority from a title-1 school, all they really had to do was fill out forms as basic as signing one\u2019s life away to an online credit card application to apply for schools, which is how so many of these kids manage to churn out 50+ applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, among those 50+ college acceptances, our TRYHARD in question does appear to be shooting for the moon a little bit, and isn\u2019t just settling for an HBCU offering up a free and clear ride; she has proclaimed her intention to go to Duke, which as much of a school I loathe for their athletics, is still an academically reputable institution, and if for anything at all, getting that piece of paper and gaining access to the alumni network is worth its weight in gold in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Duke seems pretty appropriate for this TRYHARD, because like a lot of the tryhards before her, she\u2019s got that air of insufferable humblebraggart already down, and that\u2019s precisely the type of people whom Duke would be a great fit for.<\/span><\/p>\n

The jury\u2019s still out on whether or not she\u2019s getting a free ride or not, I have to guess that it\u2019s probably not entirely free, but it\u2019s also probably not just an acceptance and go fuck yourself, get your own student loans and fall into our trap kind of situation; after all her goal was to not pay for college, but it\u2019s hard to imagine a money printer like Duke actually be willing to give anyone not in athletics a free ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, I hope this girl knows what she\u2019s in for, going to Duke.\u00a0 As intelligent as she might think she is, Duke is still a notoriously racist and classist environment, and if word gets out that she\u2019s the black girl from the sketchy part of Atlanta, lord only knows what the fuck is going to become of her student life among the snobs and privileged among the Dook Elite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well you know what they say, which is something that literally only one friend of mine likes to say, if you TRY HARD, you die hard.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
