@Anonymous How do you get above a 4.0
@Anonymous A+s
@Anonymous KUN LENG IS THE BEST!!
@Anonymous Go Cunnilingus!
@Anonymous Jack Klempay, you beautiful genius.
@My money's on Nate the great for valedictorian. If he doesn’t get it, the system’s broken.
@Yifei Fan you’re the best
@Congrats, Tatianna! Only heard of like one person here, but Tatianna lived in my suite freshman year. I didn’t even talk to her that often, but I could tell she was a really really kind person. Also, our Wallach suite was filled with a bunch of lazy ass guys except for her and she tried so hard to bring a much better atmosphere, which I greatly appreciated. Awesome to know that she’s a brilliant woman as well!
@yaaa Max! yr a star, you’ll go far!
@Anonymous This is so racist. Where are all the white people?
@Anonymous oh, they’re busy deciding who gets on the list
@Anonymous No, they were too busy protesting the year away.
@Anonymous Lol at all the bitter, bitter seniors in this thread.
@Haters gonna hate Congrats all you brilliant and hardworking people!!
@Anonymous I know one person off this list and she has the personality of a spoon so…
@SEAS '15 Is it really so impossible to be happy for these people?
@ogre NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRDS!
@CC15 that “we bet they aced their econometrics final too” tag is on point — have you MET preeti?
@wz Congrats Tanvi, Devin, Grant and Yifei!
@one of these people apparently I know none of these commenters?
@another one of these people yea seriously what losers
@and i have heard of absolutely none of them
@Anonymous I’ve never heard of you either. And yet, these people have Phi Beta Kappa on their transcripts and you don’t.
@Anonymous Because they were studying for four years, while you were goofing off.
@alum whoa there–that’s pretty offensive to people who studied relatively diligently but weren’t in the same social circles as the PBKers
@Anonymous What do social circles have to do with anything?
@alum if you haven’t heard of someone, chances are your social circles don’t overlap (note that the converse is absolutely not true)
@jj10 love forever GRANT KING
GRANTIKINNN
@Wooooo MAX NELSON IS THE BEST <3
@Pics or I'm not buying it These people don’t even go here.
@#blacklivesmatter Probably because you had your head up your ass protesting, reading your stupid core, throwing mattresses around, and crying during the tree lighting ceremonies
@Anonymous I think it’s because these people live in the Butler stacks, only emerging during a full moon.
@Current senior Wow I know none of these people
@meh I’m not a senior, I don’t go out much, and I’ve met two of these people. Sucks to suck.
