3. Tell the truth Colleges value honesty. That’s why they don’t let you send in your own transcript. So just tell them the whole honest truth, and nothing but the truth. Example: I’m not going to lie, I’m sitting on the toilet rn, and this email is kind of ruining it all, so I’m just kind of going to let it all slide. You know, to each his own man, wabi sabi, bro. 4. Lie Colleges don’t exactly promote honesty. I mean, let's be real here, you hear about students cheating or lying or falsifying data on the daily. How about grade inflation? They love lying! Example: Sorry, but I’m really all the way booked, I just don’t think I can make it. Sorry, I like totally would, but I’m just so totally overbooked, LOL. 5. Make a recording​ of you screaming into a microphone, and reply with that Colleges just love screamo bands. Did you know that the lead singer from Rise Against went to Yale? He didn’t Example: AaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 6. Don’t respond You know, I bet that guy writing the emails doesn’t really care. He’s probably only in it for the paycheck, anyway. Now with all of that in mind, go out there, and respond to some emails! Make me proud! Aliens: The TRUTH by Adam Walter and Ben Neufeld For years people have asked the question, “Are aliens real? Are aliens here on Earth? What do they look like?” These are all great questions. You are being presented an inside view of two high school students’ perspective on the unknown, yet known, alien. Aliens today are most commonly seen in Hollywood. Not waltzing around on the street or hiding in the bushes, but rather in front of the camera. Many movies have been produced and set on screen that could give a good idea on what kind of creatures are out there. Most people, when they think “​alien,” picture a green creature about the size of an average man with a big, long head, maybe big, beady eyes, and a snarling mouth.
