A good weekend

I've had a fantastic weekend. First came Friday, where I had mint chocolate chip ice cream twice, and a tiny little terrier running around in Marston Quad came up to me. And then College Night at the Village where I got free stuff! I'm so low-maintenance - I only need mint chocolate chip ice cream or cute fuzzies or free stuff to make me happy. Matt might disagree with that, but I admit I do need some more maintenance in a romantic relationship other than ice cream and cute fuzzy animals. (It depends what kind of free stuff I get.) Like, snuggling. Lots of it. Har.

And then Saturday! I had MORE mint chocolate chip ice cream! Kristina and Ranor noted how fast the mint chocolate chip ice cream is consumed relative to the other flavors, even though outside of the Pomona bubble, there are much less mint chocolate chip eaters. (Kristina, Ranor, and I are the only ones in our respective families who like this particular flavor.)

Kristina and Ranor's conclusion: Pomona has a disproportionate number of mint chocolate chip eaters than the rest of the population. Obviously, admission committee purposely admit those who like mint choclate chip ice cream, even if it isn't stated in our application. Somehow, they can determine who are mint chocolate chip lovers by looking at GPAs, SAT scores, extracurriculars, and the essay. But to make your life easier, you can just say somewhere on the app, "I really really really really like mint chocolate chip ice cream" and you're in.
