 My colleague Kalye Johnson has made a great point what will happen now to the land of the rich and smarty pants. What’s the deal do they not know the stress of these teens during the application process. As a student who submit an application to Baylor University and never heard a word back was beyond depressing. I will never forget that moment and run around during my senior year. I have an email stating my application was complete, yet I never received an acceptance or denial letter/email. Sending emails and being on hold on the phone for ridiculous amounts of time just to hear something. Emails from different admissions counselors who couldn't explain anything they’d just give me a different phone number or email to contact.  I know the exact feeling of these students who applied for their dream school and didn't get in just because some politician wrote them a letter. What’s going to happen now is UT just going to send sorry letters to these students. Are they going to admit them and give them a cut on tuition? What will happen to the ones that did get admitted are they going to remain there? I’m just excited to see what will happen to the students who were not admitted.

YUMMY FOOD MIGHT BE ELIMINATED FROM AUSTIN

I’m just wondering who complains about barbecue and is trying to remove it from Austin other than the local neighborhoods being effected. I do understand the circumstances the neighborhoods are being effected by the amount of smoke they receive a day from these restaurants. Due to that they just have so much anger built up they want to try to remove all barbecue restaurants from Austin. (Just wondering… Are these people vegan or from California.) This state is known for barbecue. To eliminate that from the home of the state capital is beyond ridiculous.  Local owners might be forced to shut down their businesses soon due to smoke ordinance. Austin should not force these business to shut down. I believe they should think of a method in order to reduce the amount of smoke coming from the pits or find a relocation area safer for the environment and the business. Barbecue is what makes Austin especially if it’s local barbecue. This is what makes Austin seem like they’re being controlled over someone with a ton of money. To come out with a statement of no more barbecue in Austin I’m most positive theirs a lot of money under that table. (AKA Rich guy from California or Vegan who plants all their food which makes them rich because they don’t spend money on food.)
