The funniest part was that she decided to attend Auburn.

I’m glad OP is real.

Whoa...heads will explode...

Big congrats, OP--that's awesome!

It was mostly just my Mom looking at the site which got me hooked!

Jeff, I am OP, thank you for validating this thread and making DCUM what it is!

Amazing! I love this!

*Dying of curiosity*

And congrats, OP!

My guess is the OP eloquently illustrated some of the absolute lunacy that is often on display here. Very clever.

I am going to believe OP, even if this is a troll post.

DCUM was there for me through the preschool years, travel soccer, MIL therapy for decades, AAP application then how it didn’t matter, lax, the teen years and now I’m reading the college forum while I have a HS freshman with a low GPA for a preview of what’s to come. DCUM has been better than a therapist and at least good for stress relief so I believe it could help with a college essay!

If this is the Duke kid, your essay probably had nothing to do with it.
