Tufts: Really hard to get into, really expensive to go to
The Daily reports that Tufts admissions for the Class of 2015 are the lowest in school history. That’s pretty cool I guess. Adds to Tufts prestige, makes it seem “more exclusive” (and therefore, way more chill), and all that good stuff. But here’s another interesting fact from the article: 52% of Tufts students receive finacial aid. That’s a lot. Now I don’t have a problem with financial aid — I think you need it to allow people who can’t afford …

An oldie, but still a good one. I’m gonna go get bronzed on the beach, deuces.
Salemme wants you to “Meet Me Tonight”
Frankly, I think this song kinda sucks. But I’m posting it entirely because of this video screen shot that was in the email the dude’s promo guy sent:
As you can see, my hand was forced.

Lil’ Wayne to drop “The Carter 4″ on May 16th
We’re not what you’d call a music blog here at W2FY, we’re more of a college blog, but I’m still pretty sure this is relevant news to 90% of the W2FY readers. Why? Because young money, cash money, Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive and white college dudes (I’m stereotyping our readership heavily right now) fucking love rap music and ipso-facto love Lil Wayne. It’s basic facts.
Now I’m pumped for this release because Weezy is my shit. So mark up your calendars, start saving your money, and get ready to buy (or illegally download) the shit outta this.

Thursday Rant: High school kids are fucking stupid
By Wednesday, comments on the now-infamous prompt — which included the question, “How authentic can these shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes?” — had stretched across nearly 40 pages on College Confidential. Media coverage added to the scrutiny.
Angela Garcia, executive director of the SAT program, said she did not think it was unfair to ask that question of students who had neither the time nor inclination to watch Mike Sorrentino on “Jersey Shore,” or Kim Kardashian on “Kourtney & Kim Take New York.”
“The primary goal of the essay prompt is to give students an opportunity to demonstrate their writing skills,” she said.
So I guess this is a big deal lately. Last weekend’s SAT asked high school kids if they thought reality TV could be authentic or not. In my opinion, a pretty easy question, and one that doesn’t even deal directly with reality TV — all you really need to write about in this case is the ethics of perception. But turns out, this stumped everyone from pretentious smart fucks to morons.
Let’s quote a smart kid:
“This is one of those moments when I wish I actually watched TV,” one test-taker wrote on Saturday on the Web site College Confidential, under the user name “littlepenguin.”
“I ended up talking about Jacob Riis and how any form of media cannot capture reality objectively,” he wrote, invoking the 19th-century social reformer. “I kinda want to cry right now.”
Bro, no one gives a shit that you know who Jacob Riis, especially not SAT graders. This is a classic example of doing waaaaaay to much. It’s why I hate everyone at TU so much — I bet half the kids here would have written the same thing, then cried about it on an online message board. Wanna know what I did when I finished the SAT? Got fucking hammered, that’s what. Forgot every question immediately.
