The title = I could think of nothing better.
So, it has been brought to my attention that everyone in the whole wide world has taken the damn SAT but me. And, now you're thinking, "Oh, it can't possibly be that bad."
Fine. I will let you into my thoughts. (Brace yourself people, you're in for a bumpy ride)
I was talking with one of my "college" friends, I call them this because they are the people that I see every summer at UHD (University of Houston-Downtown), and he brings up the SAT.
Yes, the one placement test that tells the whole college community whether you're stupid or brilliant, and to that one school, which you've been dreaming of your whole life, there is no middle ground. You're either good enough, or you're not.
Anyway, he mentioned it, right? So, here we go. "Ugh! I haven't even taken the SAT." Yes that's me. The irresponsible one. The outcast in the world of SAT test takers.
The whole day I pondered over the consequences that were brought because of my lacking attempt for this simple little test.
My teacher "shot" us an email last month informing us of our assignment when we get back. We must write a thousand essays that will accompany our SAT scores to the colleges of our choice for early acceptance. Well, that poses a problem for me.
I haven't taken the damn SAT! 
Which means. Because I have not taken the SAT, for whose deadline I missed every single time, I will not be able to apply early, which means I will not get the pleasant reassurance of being accepted to the college of my choice like the others in my class, which means I will have to wait until the near-end of the school year to get that "Yes or No."
So, I have come to a conclusion. I must sign up for the SAT in October and study my a** off this summer so that I can get accepted into Rice. And, do you know what score I have to get in order to get accepted into Rice? A 2100. Yes. A 2100. One more time. Twenty-one hundred. Okay fine, this year it was 1960. But, the range continues untill 2280. So, im being safe. I need a 2100.
Doesn't that just make you want to jump for joy? Come, jump with me because of all this happiness. Oh, yipee! 
So, I get one chance and, probably only one, for this damn test. And, my dream is Rice. Rice would complete me. Rice would be the cherry on top.
Let's go over this one more time.
Lack of test taking = No early acceptance = Peril, Doom, and whatever else you can think of.
October SAT= One Chance
One chance which leads to two things.
Either I'm brilliant OR I'm not.
Take Your Pick.
