hmmmmm. nope. got nothing.

What?

I tried /adv/ but I'm trying /lit/ since I'm going for a philosophy major, and eventually graduate studies. I want to know how introverts get into college.

Basically my question is:
Is there a way to get into a prestigious college like Reed without having to do extracurriculars like being part of student leadership or volunteering to help. Honestly, I hate doing all these things. I don't care about them at all. I'd want to just sit in my room reading all day, watching movies, playing video games, and getting amazing grades that way. Why the fuck do I have to get amazing grades AND do all this extra shit on the side which in no way reflects my compassionate heart but is just a lie. A lie to get me into the school I want to get into.

For instance, could I get into a college like Reed by solely being in a chess club?

Naw. Deathnote is a shitty Mary Sue self-insert show. At best it made you feel clever because the show was so good at making you feel like you were right there with Light or L in the mindgames. At worst it was childish and clearly tailored for the escapist/empowerment fantasy of your average 14 year old. The morality aspect was underdeveloped and underwhelming and the characters were metaphorically and literally 2-dimensional

I can't imagine anybody accustomed to reading good novels would be impressed by it
