You may be wondering why I (Gatsby) am writing such a late response. You see, I was recently run over and spent the last week in Limbo. I made a deal with G-d saying that I must go back to earth and spread my wisdom if I ever wish to see the light of heaven. 

My spirit has recently been reincarnated into a student named Zackary Caleb-Levine. I'm essentially acting as the little voice inside his head. This last week Zack visited colleges in New York and with my guidance, briefly stopped in West Egg and helped him pick out a fantastic french restaurant in Manhattan. Anyway, on Zack's Journey, this is the advice i gave him:

Often times, certain colleges hold aren't all they're cracked up to be-Zack, like myself, fell victim to awesome and unearthly grip of imagination. In his head, these prestigious schools were perfect for him. They would make his life complete in every way. These school's were his Daisy. When he actually visited the campuses, he found that there was nothing that special about them and his platonic perception of them was false. I told him not to blindly follow a dream rooted in superficial ideas that weren't even his own. If I only knew that the perfect life for me was not the one which i aspired to live......And likewise, the perfect college for Zack is not the one that outside voices recommend, but rather the one that makes him content. I have learned from my foolish ways and did not make good choices. Hopefully Zack will, so I can go to Heaven.
