1. Fun is the only thing on my agenda this weekend
Weekend w/ the sisters. Food, alcohol, poker, hot tubs and the Super Bowl.


Just me and my 3 sisters.


I can't wait.

3. relax Ava!
put down the papers and relax.

what you have learned over the years will carry you through. There really is no way to study.

So.

Relax.

You'll do great!

5. You are already brilliant. Rely on your inner resources when the
time comes--and go have fun! Best wishes. (Besides, when college application time comes, your resume, essays and general all around amazing-ness will outshine anyone's test scores!) (From a mom who knows...lol)

7. Screw the ACT - just show them you were mentioned in Rolling Stone Magazine
you'll get into any liberal school out there. Perhaps Liberty or Bob Jones Universities might reject you though.

8. lol, i have a friend at bob jones university
he hates it and said that for girls it's pretty much a "finishing school". don't think i'll be going there :rofl:

i don't think media attention will contribute much to my college apps though.

10. au contraire mon fraire (ok my french really sucks)
my son is filling out scholarship apps right now, and it is amazing how many out there are looking for students who are trying to make the world a better place!

he has already received some money due to the work he did in the community with the boy scouts.

11. OH Man, I showed up for my ACT, hung over. We got blasted the night before.
It was a football game night and we always had alcohol on the band bus for the ride home.
