so I’m sitting in my kitchen and my mom hands me this big pile of mail from colleges and is like ‘yo do you want any of these you should go through them’
so I start picking out schools that I’ve heard of and then I realize that some of these envelopes have the most ridiculous, over-dramatic sayings on them, so I start going through the pile again reading them in funny voices.
and so I get to this one and I’m like yes, lots of words, time to be dramatic
so I start reading ‘college’ and ‘convention’ and then I spin it and I look up and the next phrase i see is
‘womb chairs’
and I just burst out laughing I have been crying from laughing so hard for the last 20 minutes WHY DOES IT SAY WOMB CHAIRS ON THIS ENVELOPE
it also says albino squirrels on the other side
I’m going to send back the enclosed ‘get on our mailing list form’ and tell them I’m interested in their womb chairs and albino squirrels.COME TO OBERLIN AND FIND OUT ABOUT THE WOMB CHAIRS.
I love it when Prospies are clearly really terrified by/confused with/making fun of Oberlin and one of the Oberlin Tumblrs replies really enthusiastically to them, possibly scaring the Prospie further. Oh, Oberlin. Squirrels and Womb Chairs are kind of unprofessional.
i’m going to say this gently
dear oberlin
fuck you and your ~quirky~ thing
your promotional materials make you sound like the manic pixie dream girl of undergraduate institutions, whimsical and nonthreatening
just shut up about the goddamn squirrels and chairs and like fucking contact improv or whatever
that’s not why people come to college
