What I've learned

Travel season is what probably drives most admissions counselors from this job after only a couple years. Oh, that and the extremely, extremely low pay.

A rolling suitcase probably would have been useful.

Washing my car is futile.

While New Jersey is known for Newark (the shitty place across the river from New York City) and Camden (the shitty place across the river from Philadelphia) the rest of it is actually quite nice.

Driving in New Jersey, however, always sucks.

Most guidance counselors are just people who are angry that they're guidance counselors.

Students need to have the following things beaten into them: 1) You can't major in football/basketball/etc., 2) 2.0 will not get you into college, and 3) just because we're in New York doesn't mean we have Fashion Merchandising or Interior Design as a major.

Sidenote: don't major in Fashion Merchandising or Interior Design. You'll simply lack a fallback when you don't get the job you want.

Parents need to have the following things beaten into them: 1) Stop asking questions for your kid, 2) stop asking questions for your kid, and 3) please, for the love of God, you're not going to college stop asking questions for your kid.

No matter what happened in "The Office," there is no Chili's in Scranton, PA.

Atlantic City is where Las Vegans must go if they want to feel sleazy.

High schools will apparently still let strange men in suits wander around the halls dragging an unmarked black rolling suitcase.

Do I sound jaded? More to come possibly...
