Napris 2008-10-03 ch 1,	abuseI don't think this story has enough of the reviews it deserves, so I'm writing one right now. I would much prefer to choose a finer day with lots of sunshine or lots of rain -- something to make me all poetic, you know, and wordy. Right now, I can't feel it. I think what sums up a relatively good review is the reader's a) opinion b) brief summary of reaction to story c) perhaps some criticism. I won't give you any, because I really want to just write a review. Something for YOU to enjoy, Shampoo Suicide, because I enjoyed /College Material./ a) I really liked it. As a story written nearly three years ago, it's very very good. Approx. twenty times better than the average popular FP short story, to be honest honest honest. b) At first, I found this on someone's favorites. cup of glee and sparkles, to be specific. I was browsing through them, and at the near bottom, something catches my eye: a college application story? I'm interested in them, cause I'm young and stupid, and I don't know exactly how things work. So this is a comedy. Alright. I click, and I read the first "My name leaves no room for false impressions ..." and I was left with a great impression. Seriously. I'd like to point out this story is rather honest, but I liked it. Maybe someday, when my brain isn't woozy and this review wasn't speedy, I'll debate with you about the gay brother. I liked how you put it. I'm not homophobic or anything, but that is a very just and real reaction for the parents, I suppose. 5/5, Shampoo Suicide. I've run out of superlatives for this very amusing short story. Good job! :)
Jacquie Whitlock 2008-09-29 ch 1,	abuseAwe. Funny, but kinda depressing. It makes me look forward to next month, when I have to fill out college applications :p I can't wait to read more of your stuff! -Jacquie p.s. My friend, Maggie Summers, recomended you to me, in case you want to, like, giver her a cyber cookie or something :p
WithoutException 2008-09-06 ch 1,	abuseWell, my college application story was kind of weird, seeing as I left for school a year early and didn't apply until April, sent in an application to one school, didn't stress at all, and got my acceptance letter six days later. But, I have friends who are going through this now. And so I can kind of sympathize. Plus, this is just funny, no matter who you are.
cup of glee and sparkles 2008-08-07 ch 1,	abuseThis is freaking hysterical. I wish (hope, dream) that this weren't a oneshot, because it's so funny that I want to be able to keep reading more of it.
gulistanlik 2008-07-28 ch 1,	abuseTo be honest, I don't know how I'm supposed to react, so I'm going to just say I really did feel. Okay, I found humour in this but I also felt pity because she really does feel unmotivated, doesn't know where to go in life, but she doesn't seem to feel lost. Far from it. But, at this moment, I think she's not ready for college. Whether she ever will be, I don't know. Her family situation is kinda critical. Uhm...yeah. =D Young Communists club, eh? Yeah I laughed at that. =D Anyway, great fic here, I think I'm gonna go and check out your other stuff! gulistanlik
Feel The Waltz 2008-07-08 ch 1,	abuseAhh that was scarily good. & i'm scarily similar to Dana. Except the gay brother and druggie sister is the other way round. :P
somuchformyhappyending 2007-12-03 ch 1,	abusethis is the essay of my life. lol...I'm going to be president of the Young Democrats club next year and the young atheists club and probably the young socialists club. lol...how pathetic is that? anyway, Dana is my twin sister. I swear to freakin' god. so great job. the characters were really well developed and it was really entertaining. :) bec
LiMay 2007-11-02 ch 1,	abusewow you're really good at writing! funny stuff =)
amour propre 2007-04-10 ch 1,	abuseIf everyone wrote the truth on their college applications, they'd all be something along these lines...
Her Wishing Well 2007-04-08 ch 1,	abuseTotally honest and amusing. Colleges are far too competetive. I loved this.
Rosuto Aki 2007-02-03 ch 1,	abuse^-^ I cant help it. I love it. Its well written, its funny, its weird. thumbs up
DuchessYappingDog 2006-11-18 ch 1,	abuse“I am seventeen. I don’t know that I’ve had a truly meaningful experience, or a significant accomplishment. I don’t know what my career goals are, and I’m too self-absorbed to have any real great concerns, or at least to know what to do about them. That is, I’m afraid, the Unmotivated Teenage Human Condition.” Oh Jesus. The words of my life. I'm applying to college this year too. Ugh. I have to write most of my private college essays this break. I'm going to cry. And... sadly, this story is exactly how I feel. Minus the gay twin and druggy sister. Add in workaholic parents and an older sister. I guess it's about the same thing.
Rock on an Ocean Shore 2006-10-07 ch 1,	abuseWow, I loved that. Totally honest, hilarious, straight from the head of a seventeen-year-old writing out applications. I loved the little skits you've added in, like conversations and stuff like that. I especially liked Nick's characterization. And Kelly's. Great additions to the story. I applaud and bow down to your skill as a writer. ^_^
Right or Ryn 2006-08-25 ch 1,	abuseSo true! I've still got a few years before I start filling out the dreaded applications and as of now I'd do a worse job filling it out than Dana, well maybe not, but she's a fictional character. Already people are asking me what I'm going to do when I grow up. I have not ** idea! I'm a teenager. I'm lazy and totally unmotivated. You'd think that adults would get that seeing as how they were our age at some time. They probably convienetly forgot about that period in their life. Should I start wearing a badge that says Hello My Name is Ryn I don't have any opinions on major issues and have absolutly no idea what I'm going to do with my life so don't even bother to ask. Sorry for the ranting. Your story's great!
la-mocha 2006-07-10 ch 1,	abuseI love this :)
