It’s time for high school seniors to decide where they will be going to college come fall. Some have already made their decision. Consequently, some colleges have already created their waitlists. That’s what happened to Grace Oberhofer of Washington state. The college that sent her to admissions Purgatory? None other than Harvard.
But young Grace wasn’t going to stand idly by as some academic big-wigs decided her educational fate. No. Grace decided that she would use her surprisingly great voice and piano skills to write and perform a viral ode to Harvard, in which she begs to be let in. Here’s a sample of the lyrics:
On John Harvard‘s statue I’d never pee
Harvard I utter my primal scream
Let me in to your community
Harvard please admit
Me!
Now here’s the video, which Gawker calls “a jokey yet still plainly earnest song:”
Grace is quite the songwriter. Another video posted on YouTube claims to show her original song about Snow White. It sure does sound like her. And minus the large, nerdy glasses, it looks like her too:

Posted on April 13, 2011 at 2:54pmHas anybody else noticed that if you include certain keywords in your post , even words like “affirmative action or ”black ” that your post is flagged and takes forever to show up? I have. I hate censorship. The only way for people to understand each other’s point is to let them “speak freely”. Is there some legal reason why many websites institute nazi-like censorship? Is it cowardice or what? Please advise. Let the people speak damn it.

She wants to go to Harvard, let her go, then. Maybe there somethin‘ about their music program that’s caught her eye. This young lady has the gumption to go after what she wants. Can’t say that about all young folks today.
My own young’uns can sing and play a little — mostly bluegrass — but nothing like in one of those broadway musicals. That’s probably where the money is.

Listen you judgement puzzlewit, yes I feel that the article is a waist of time and energy. It is a distraction. In case you weren’t informed, this is a blog, not a newspaper. You seem to be as foppish as the article with your ridiculous comment.
