College Aspirant Pillows

Gracie goes over to the college recruitment tent at a carnival.

"Actually, I'm hoping what I'm going to be when I grow up hasn't been invented yet."

'Our admission policy is now simplicity itself. If you have the tuition, you're in.'

"Yes Dad, I passed math and now I'm passing chemistry and physics."

"Still, diving for it would look good on my college application.

'Another football scholarship offer?'

"I want a top education, but don't milk me dry with school fees."

I'm getting ready to apply for college. Do you have a list of party schools?

"The teacher expects too much of me. She wants me to give it the old college try, and I'm only in grade school."

'He's got classic form, but if he doesn't improve his grades he won't get into college. He doesn't think.'

'This scholarship application is great. You must have received an A in creative writing.'

"Hey, there's Sara, padding her college-entrance résumé!"

'I wish his guidance counselor spent more time on college plans and less time suggesting names for his band.'

'Why not take some time off after high school...travel a bit...get a job...make some money...pay your own way through college.'

"Where am I going to college? I thought this was college."

'It's my application to Harvard...'

It's a letter from Tim. He claims his grades are improving and he might even make the DEEN's list.

"My papie says I'm going to be the first in my family to go to college!"

"Well, my IQ is 180--and that's in Centigrade, not Fahrenheit."

'I'm partially passing my Meteorology course.'

'And here's my collection of stock in DiscoCorp... or as I call it, your college fund.'

"Of course I'm not quitting school, Dad! If anything, I've learned that if you want to succeed, you need passion and leadership and a whatever-it-takes attitude!"

"The counselor wasn't much help about getting into college. All he said was to study hard and get good grades."

"If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

'That's all there is in my college fund? That won't even buy the beer!'

"The extent of your extracurricular activities in high school, may very well be participation in regular program of oral hygiene using an effective decay preventaative tooth paste, but that won't get you into a good university."

"Aren't you young to be worrying about college?"

'This isn't a good time. I'm in trouble with the Dean for using my cell phone in class. I'll call you back.'

"Not the 'Princeton Experience' he was expecting."
