exalted im not going to try and read to much into this because i hate it when people try and do that to me BUT... youve shown a picture of a rediculously expensive watch and now your displaying an admission email to a ivy league school that states all your awards, accomplishments etc... do you have any friends? Or someone to give you respect where it looks like your not begging for some? Despite my reputation this is a serious post. I havent seen someone do this much e-penis waving in a thread in a long time.

Yeah I will ask SA forums or something more about this matter - I need to buy another pair of shoes soon (maybe lacoste :o) but I hear their more casual shoes are very flimsy and not durable, so maybe screw that, depends. If I'm going to wear this black watch daily though, I may have to end up getting black shoes, but the problem is brown shoes seem to go a lot better with (especially shorts) jeans and khakis than black, but that just may be my imagination. Maybe it'll go well with a white shoe? ugh... I don't like black sneakers especially-

The shoes I wear now are:

No, I'm doing a shitload of shameless bragging not to be known on teamliquid, but because I am wicked stressed out on college apps - hot_bid is asian and therefore intelligent, and I have had PMs with lil.sis as he currently goes to Columbia.

Penis waving, maybe, but its not like I got the fashion advice I wanted =[

Basically every kid that applies to Harvard etc has similar qualifications, it's super gay.

i'm all for "expressing yourself" through your appearance. your appearance, your impressions of it and what you can do with it, should not be ignored.

but the word "fashion" implies "what is in style" and "what they do," "what is hot," which is completely NOT using your appearance but rather letting other people use YOU, making yourself say only, with your appearance "I am trying not to be the particular I am."

so if you look at yourself in the mirror, or see other people and like how it looks, do it, sure. and if you trust other people's judgement, then you can ask them and their answers can help shape the way appearances of clothed people show up for you. that's pretty much fine. but thinking there is some singular, absolute "fashion" that changes and "is right," something tied to people who probably only care about selling clothes to rich people or to fat 40 year old soccer moms who read the jc penny catalogue, which is the connotation of "fashion" if you ask me, then trying to be fashionable is entirely dishonest and wasteful.

only you, and maybe people you know, can tell you how they feel about, say, pants. if you think my pants look gay you might actually get me to think of them differently, ultimately. it depends who you are to me, where i see myself in the scheme of things, etc. your question bothered me because it was too ontic: "is it absolutely right, currently, that i must match my watch with my shoes?" that seems going about it all wrong, friend.

fashion is basically two entities:

A. people who operate freely above and are liked in general by many people and copied.

B. the people who chase after "what _is_ 'factually' fashionable" what do i do? perscribe fashion to me. tell me how to act as though i have your thoughts, because i don't. bogus.

love,
mitsy

you got a 1370 at age 13 and could only improve to 2220/2400? did you fall asleep that day or something

edit: not every kid that goes to harvard has similar qualifications, they usually have better ones than your gpa/sat, you had best play up your piano stuff

hot_bid is asian and therefore intelligent ? thats the most racist thing ive heard in a long time. Does that mean he also sucks at driving and has a small penis? Does that mean he must like math?

nobody will look at your watch so closely that they will notice. And brown matches with alot of shit. Why not just wear lacoste shirts? those are nice, im not sure about the pants. Oh and...cut the hair and lose the glasses. You'll be glad you did it. Cut your hair alot more than once every 4 months, unless your trying to look unkempt. Also, most people here are nerds, so asking for fashion advice will most likely end you up..well...dressing like a nerd. Also...from what i see of your picture, go to the pool for a whole week while the sun is shining brightly, a tan will help you.

I agree with what you're saying, but being conformist isn't necessarily bad - often those that try to deviate from the norm look the worst (becuase they ultimately seek acceptance and "being cool" themselves)

I think the best goal is just trying to increase one's confidence and image. Similarly there are ways to do it without spending a shitload of money on clothes, for example by improving communicative/presentation skills and working out and doing athletics. When I was young, I was a total fatty and my Dad just had me to piano all the time. I also skipped grades a shitload when I was young, so I garnered respect from piano playing, but at the same time became socially inept. Now that I'm in this taiwan college, being independent and working on these kinds of things like fashion/athletics is new to me, so I'm working on improving myself to compensate for my childhood without. It may seem extremist, but I like it !

2220/2400 and graduating early from HS is not something really to brag about... if he graduated early and did something other than play piano and take some college courses, then maybe... but that resume impresses nobody

Haha, incontrol, I know you're white so your PENIS IS ULTRA LARGE!!!!!

It was a joke, but I guess you didn't find it very funny. People usually don't find it very funny when I gay rush them either.

incontrol, it most likely DOES mean his penis is small at least.
I'm not sure about the other prejustices though

and that being said I felt he was being sarcastic with that anyway.

fuck u....this is exactly what I"m talking about, give me advice fag

My peer recommendation for Dartmouth is from a piano teacher friend I made here, she's the only person that can actually speak English worth a shit in Taiwan. I'm going to play up the piano in the accomplishment side and then for my college essay write about Taiwan and the adversity, being independent and experiencing challenges of college to prepare myself for this, etc.

it would have been funny had you quoted the South Park episode where the asians use that line to advance on the people of south park

"Oh but you have such laaaaaaaarge penis"

That episode rocked socks hard.

i don't know if you're serious about being pissed, but that was just my honest impression of your giant resume that you hyped up and that was supposed to be very impressive... it's really not that great. you have a decent chance of getting into the lesser ivys, but it'll be a stretch for harvard princeton or yale...

conforming doesn't always suck but it does suck if you conform for the sake of conforming.

likewise being nonconformist for the sake of not conforming is equally or honestly, even more dumb though.

in the "what grinds your gears" topic I guess you could add "people who pay money for pants that have holes in them so they will appear "punk"". (while I have absolutely nothing against people who wear pants with holes in them, in fact I generally like people who do because it means they don't care an excessive amount about their own looks, paying for inferior clothing indicates the opposite. )

Lacoste is not all that expensive compared to other good brands. I wouldn't describe it 'ugly', but it is too plain and boring.. Hence I don't own any of the Lacostes, maybe when I turn 30 I'll consider it.

that's true, it's not that expensive. but it's also no better looking than stuff that costs 1/3 of it, nor is it particulary more unique, more comfortable or more durable. =[

Hot_bid yes, I know it's ultra selective for schools like Harvard and the top Ivys, and it doesn't help I'm not a Ethiopian girl wanting to major in science (being Asian I'm sure actually hurts in the admission process).

My resume is still on the quirky side and I know that the angle I need to play is the uniqueness, not the "SUPER STUDENT"

Do starcraft skills look good on resume?
