This new thing is so dumb. It's gonna mess everything up for me and my friends. Why do they always gotta make things so complicated? I don't see how this helps anyone. It's just gonna cause more problems. Ugh, I can't deal with this.

I think this new bill is going to make it harder for students like me to get into college. It's not fair that we have to jump through even more hoops just to have a shot at higher education. I hope they reconsider some of the provisions in this bill.

I heard about this new bill about college admissions, and I think it's a good thing. This could really change things for students like me. But who does this really affect? #confused #collegeadmissions #newbill

I don't agree with this new college admissions act. It's going to make it harder for students like me to get into the schools we want. Why is this going to affect so many people?

I can't believe this is finally happening! This bill is going to hold colleges accountable for their admissions process and make sure it's fair for everyone. It's about time we have some transparency in the system. I'm hopeful that this will level the playing field for all students, including myself. Can't wait to see the positive changes this brings!
