@ValedictorianZZ fair point!

[Shane @shanebarakat]

so many hs seniors pick schools based on vibes and thats so dumb

pick the best school for your program that you got into

college is such a fleeting time

even if you hate it, even if its not as "fun"

the roi of the best school follows you for the rest of your life
