Zombeh college

I just got an email from one of the colleges I've considered... and the whole thing is written in Comic Sans.

...What kind of school is this, anyway? On top of being overused and annoying, Comic Sans makes me think of elementary schools, not universities. >__<

OH LOOK AN OPPORTUNITY TO RANT ABOUT COLLEGE 8D

Here are the things that annoy me about colleges:

1) They cost a lot of money

2) Four more years of school. Who wants that?!

3) In an attempt to be personal, the opposite is achieved... "Elizabeth, check out Blahblah University!" "We are still looking for your application, Elizabeth!" Anybody who knows me knows I do not go by Elizabeth. Thanks for automatically filling my name in from some list. I feel really loved.

4) "We've extended the deadline just for you!" ...four times. Look, I know that you had all these extensions planned beforehand and have them set to send out if you don't get my application early. But maybe I didn't want to send you an application! DX

5) COLLEGES ARE ZOMBIES THEY ONLY WANT YOU FOR YOUR BRAINS

You know, there's probably a lot more, but these are the ones that I thought of right off and five is a good number so let's leave it at that.

Everyone seems to think you've got to have a college education because it gets you better jobs, those jobs pay better, and it's just the "thing to do," but I dunno. I'm still figuring all this out, but I don't want to spend money on an education that won't matter later on. I mean, if I'm trying to sell someone a print of my artwork, are they gonna be asking to look at what degree I have? XD

Oh, and one more thing that drives me crazy about colleges- Almost every mascot like, ever, is an animal. "We're the cougars, oh yeahhhh!" "Be a walrus with us!" Those two were made up, but TCU's scares me... I don't really want to say "I'm a horned frog! 8D"

Someone should make a zombie their college mascot. I'd go there. Maybe.
