"You're so sassy!" -Jason McColl.

Please tell us how you heard about Hillsdale College. Be specific.

One day I wanted to go for a walk, you know, stretch my legs and get my blood circulating. So I decided to go out to the mailbox and get the mail. Upon doing said activity, I opened the mailbox and lo and behold! There was a letter adressed to me! I quickly opened it up and deduced that it was from a place called Hillsdale College.

Please tell us what influenced you to apply at Hillsdale College. Be specific.

After my quest to the mailbox, I hurried home to consult with my brother, the current college expert in our home. "Hillsdale College? Well that is a mighty fine school!" He exclaimed when I showed him the letter. "I'd apply there, if I were you." And here we are.

My friend Evan is a serial killer. He has no conscious, and these two traits make it difficult for him to socialize. He is a loner, and he has as severe case of anti social personality disorder. At first I was afraid of him, but my friend Andy hung out with him all the time so eventually I got to know him too. The more time I spent with Evan, the more I learned about him. For example, Evan lives down the street from me and I never even knew it! (but he did, since he's a serial killer and they know everything). Evan is athletic, just like me. So we decided to start running together, and we became better friends. He told me about some of the ruthless things he has done, and I in turn gave him advice about his girl quandaries. I am still terrified of Evan sometimes, but I have overlooked it and am friends with him anyway. I made him promise that he will never serial kill me, and that helps me sleep at night.

My new found tolerance for serial killers will contribute to the diversity of Michigan because how many people can say they are friends with a serial killer? And what is more diverse than that? Sure, Jews and Hispanics and Asians and Albinos and people with the downs are in the minority, but what is more in the minority than a serial killer? I'm going to go with not much. So because I can befriend minorities such as serial killers, I will contribute to the diversity of Michigan.
