Hi everybody, it's your best friend, Sarah.

You know, I can't stop thinking about this.

I have a friend whose kid is at this really great, very reputable liberal school here in

and the list was like, from the coolest kid to the lamest kid, they raided everyone.

kind of misguided attempts at figuring out where do I fit, you know, where am I in this
