Lowered expectations<\/a>: Georgia teen accepted to 60 different schools, amassing $1.3M in cumulative scholarship offers<\/span><\/p>\n Another day, another Georgia-based #TRYHARD.\u00a0 I\u2019m seriously wondering if it\u2019s an IP thing or something or if the vast majority of the #TRYHARDs in the country are all coincidentally just coming out of Georgia, but every single edition of #TRYHARDSZN2025 so far have all been from Georgia.\u00a0 I doubt that such is going to be a case throughout the whole #SZN, but it is a little head-scratching from the onset.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, if I had 60 acceptances when I was this kid\u2019s age, I undoubtedly would have had the criteria of being how far away from home, and how much scholarship money are they going to float me, and the best combination of distance from Northern Virginia and how much they\u2019d scholarship me, would be the strongest contenders.<\/span><\/p>\n Such, is not the case for this guy, whom although they don\u2019t disclose any of the 60 acceptances he received, the State of Georgia doesn\u2019t have that many colleges and universities in it to constitute close to 60, so I have to imagine that a lot of ideal and acceptable out-of-state, far the fuck away from bumfuck Dublin, Georgia are being left on the table by deciding to go to his dream college of, the University of Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n This reminds me of Terry Jerry-Larry-<\/span>Garry Gergich from Parks & Rec<\/em> and how him and his family\u2019s annual vacation was to their favorite place in the world, Muncie, Indiana, which was presumably not that far from fictional Pawnee, Indiana.<\/span><\/p>\n Like, the boy has the opportunity to get the fuck out of Georgia, but instead he\u2019s taking his golden tickets and just going two hours north, up to Athens, where his supposed dream school is.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, UGA is a solid school, reputable and moderately respected in the world, but the boy wants to go down a pre-med track, and I\u2019m hard-pressed to believe that UGA is the most qualified school to go to for a guy who\u2019s interested in biology and pre-med.\u00a0 Just in the SEC, I know that Auburn is a better school for such things, but I can\u2019t imagine the level of education and awareness of the world outside of Laurens County is particularly high.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, I\u2019m already getting tired of writing about #TRYHARDs from Georgia with fairly mediocre numbers in the inevitable grand spectrum of #TRYHARDSZN, so good on this one guy for 60 acceptances and $1M in scholarships, and getting to go to his dream school right up the road, but when the dust settles, there\u2019s already bigger #TRYHARDs and bigger dreams being chased by much bigger overachievers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lowered expectations: Georgia teen accepted to 60 different schools, amassing $1.3M in cumulative scholarship offers Another day, another Georgia-based #TRYHARD.\u00a0 I\u2019m seriously wondering if it\u2019s an IP thing or something or if the vast majority of the #TRYHARDs in the country are all coincidentally just coming out of Georgia, but every single edition of #TRYHARDSZN2025 … Continue reading #TRYHARDSZN2025: Imagine if UGA were your dream school<\/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":[100,34,78,8,69,182],"class_list":["post-50479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-comparison","tag-dreams","tag-lowered-expectations","tag-ohgeorgia","tag-television","tag-tryharding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50479","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=50479"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50479\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50481,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50479\/revisions\/50481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
