<p><a href="/user/300" title="K Si | Points in Case">K Si</a> sent me this lovely story that doesn't quite fit anywhere else on PIC, so I thought I'd "squeeze it in" on my blog. Enjoy. </p><hr /><p><em>As told by "Molly" at a little bonfire/get-together this past Saturday.</em></p>
I've submitted my fair share of cheesy essays and inflated resumes during high school and college to try to get scholarships. But something tells me that as the cost of college tuition keeps going up to ridiculous amounts, kids are going to start making stranger and more desperate attempts to get help (in the form of money). Especially because people are morons to begin with. <br />
<p>My cat, Trevor, jumped over the short bottom pane of my window (the middle opens out) at 4am the other day trying to get to a 6-inch window sill on the outside.

I'm sure many of you have the same thing - it's full of ideas for funny blog entries that I didn't feel like writing when I thought of them. Just kidding, your file is probably called "Blog Robbed." Right?
It's funny to look back at <a href="https://www.pointsincase.com/blog/2006/09/change-good-static-bad.html">this post</a> almost 2 years ago and think that adding bright yellow buttons to the top of PIC was considered a big change. But after 8 years of the old school PIC look, an ugly masterpiece carefully crafted and re-tweaked every year in Microsoft Frontpage (the biggest headache I've ever known), it was clear the site was due for a serious upgrade.
I can't figure out whether this is the nerdiest invention ever, or the lamest invention ever.
