WoWP: A Rant on "Alex vs. Alex" (@ 3AM)

I might have mentioned it before, but WoWP was like my special TV series in high school.  I started watching it as a freshman; appropriately, it ended the year I graduated. WoWP has also been there for me these past few nights while I've been suffering from insomnia. Anywho, I just finished watching the movie special, "Alex vs. Alex."  And as a fan, I feel a little ripped off >_< Justin Russo didn't appear AT ALL.  REALLY, NOW!?  You can't just cut out my favorite character like that!!  Bah, curses!  *shakes fist* Furthermore, when Dominic the nemesis delivers a message in Justin's...

When Life Gives You Lemons

Grrrrr...I was rejected from Smith AGAIN!!!  I mean, seriously!?  After all the supplementary materials, all those hours spent perfecting every miniscule detail of my essays, all my undying passion, all the obsessive stalker-like calling, I was STILL rejected!!!! It's not a complete surprise...even though I polished up my app so hard that it literally GLITTERED (trust me, if it's possible to turn a college application into bling, I have done it! *dramatic music*), my GPA and APs seem to have put me out of the running. ...
