I need to be humbled,\u201d Revels joked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Oh please, someone reject me just so I know that I haven\u2019t applied to every single UNC-Wherever satellite school for agriculture among a few others that will still give me the time of day simply because of my demographic credentials.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But then it gets better and in this case I mean worse, as in her arrogant humble-bragging just continues to grow, in thinking that perhaps she sold herself short by not applying to bigger and better schools, like perhaps any Ivy Leagues (that we know of):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Despite being accepted into so many schools, Revels admitted she regrets she didn\u2019t reach higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Don\u2019t sell yourself short. I felt like Duke was my highest reach. Why not go higher and go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton? You never know what could happen,\u201d Revels said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Man, despite getting into a school like Duke, she doesn\u2019t hesitate to take a dump on them and loudly ponder on if she could have done even better.\u00a0 That\u2019s quite some arrogance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Welp, it\u2019s because you did have doubts and did sell yourself short, and didn\u2019t bother try to get into any of the Ivy Leagues.\u00a0 Frankly, Harvard has accepted just about everyone under the sun this year that wasn\u2019t white, so it stands to believe that this one probably would\u2019ve made it through as well, but she didn\u2019t try, and therefore she won\u2019t know, and despite her high degree of arrogance, she most definitely falls short in the rankings of #TRYHARDs this #SZN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Didn\u2019t try hard?\u00a0 Then you can die hard.\u00a0 Owned<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR: teenager from Scotland not the country, North Carolina, accepted into more than 30 schools, selects Duke University Firstly, if any of my zero readers were to click the link to de-anonymize this #TRYHARD, I have to ask if all of the photographs of her are actual photographs or if they\u2019re paintings?\u00a0 They\u2019re processed so &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/totfc.net\/?p=49983\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">#TRYHARDSZN2024: The Arrogance is real and appropriate for Duke<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[148,45,52,182],"class_list":["post-49983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-batarians","tag-fail","tag-owned","tag-tryharding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49983"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49983\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49985,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49983\/revisions\/49985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
