Inagural Address

Let's face it, the college application process sucks. There is absolutely nothing remotely self rewarding or beneficial from it. Lets add to this the prospect of considering pursuing a varsity sport in college.

I had a twenty-five minute phone call with a coach from a midwestern University this evening. I felt like an ass after I hung up the phone because I don't feel remotely interested in attending this college. The guy just wouldn't take no for an answer. I came up with a million things to say. No business courses, I'm late on the application, my guidance department wont have the forms turned in on time. Forget it! This guy was throwing everything at me. When I told him my list of other schools I was considering he got real ballsy and made the claim that his school had better academics then a school founded in 1789 with an endowment larger then Bill Gates. In retrospect, the guy was great at his job. His goal is to hunt students like me down, and convince us why we should bother with their school. It gets a little old after a while but you learn the in's and out's of "the game" (more on "the game" next time).
