Collegeconfidential

The forum where overachievers go, where people will do anything to get into Top 15, where people self-study APs, brag about their acceptances/rejections, and complain of getting 790.

That dude's going to self-study AP Physics C, AP Chemistry, AP Microeconomics, and is going to retake his 790 on the SAT II Chemistry. He must have gone to Collegeconfidential!

the sims

An ingenious attempt by Maxis to make money by making so many expansion packs that people somehow cannot resist buying. Has a larger market than any other computer game as it's a game where both hardcore teenage male gamers and normal people can actually relate to.

Buying all of the expansion packs of the game individually would cost hundreds of dollars. Especially for those so impatient that they cannot wait for packs to merge the expansion packs together.

GRE

Graduate Record Examination. Yeah, even if you're done with high school, the Collegeboard will still torment you with the GRE if you want to get into graduate school. While the main GRE test is very similar to the SAT, there are also subject-based GRE tests. For inexplicable reasons, most graduate schools still require them even though research and GPA are FAR MORE IMPORTANT.

Grrr, Marie has to take the GRE Saturday instead of admiring the Schrodinger equation.

Early Entrance Program

A program hosted by the Robinson Center for Young Scholars at the University of Washington which accepts 16 7th and 8th graders to enter the UW early. Students must go through an one-year intensive transition school (TS) prior to entering the university. Most Early Entrance Program students thrive in the university environment, contrary to popular stereotypes of entering college early.

More colleges need to adopt early entrance programs on the model of the Early Entrance Program.

explorer.exe

It likes crashing on you.

Terry's computer desktop crashed. And since he didn't know how to kill and restart explorer.exe with the task manager, he had to reboot his computer
