Some highlights and funny things from a delightful Sunday.

• I held a Christian Louboutin shoe in Neiman Marcus. I may be the only person who appreciates this. But literally, it was a religious experience. I thought I heard angels singing when I held it. (For about a year and half it has been my life goal to own a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes, for the record. That man is a genius.)

I'm pretty sure this man has destroyed the school, just saying. And I think most people agree.

• He comes into the school and changes the dress code pretty dramatically... without consulting us or letting us know before we went and purchased all of our new clothes. Not a good way to start off.
• His analogies in his speeches are ridiculous. Some of his more memorable analogies include comparing the dres...

These things have been starting to get on my nerves in the last couple of years. Maybe I'm weird, I don't know.

• Competition with friends. I admit that I fall into this sometimes, and friendly competition is okay for pushing yourself to be better, but when you're happy when a friend doesn't do as well as they normally do because it allowed you to beat them, that's just not cool. Being happy for frie...

Some things that should never be cool, at least in my opinion.

When you've seen so many small liberal arts colleges, they start to blend together. Especially since they use a lot of the same lines.

• "This is our dining hall. People say it looks like Hogwarts."

Some questions to ask a student interviewer:

• What has been your experience with the [insert department here] department?
• What was the best class you have taken here?
• Why did you choose [insert college name here]? How do you like it? Are the reasons you chose it the same reasons you like it now?
• What is there to do in the area? How does the area affect the college? Do students go off-campus on the week...

These are the ones that I remember, but I'm sure I've been to more.

• All of the houses at the Cape (at least it seems like) have shingle siding.

Not to say that I don't like being around people. But spending every waking minute with others can be a little draining for an introvert like me.

• When do I have time to read?
• People get annoyed by things that I do, and likewise I get annoyed by things that they do.

Because earlier today my sister was looking at shoes and therefore I had to go look at these gorgeous shoes, which I have no place to wear other than prom, which caused me to look at prom dresses online that might match them.
