    The ultimate Univeristy application form...

    Ultimate University Application Form

    I am a dynamic figure,often seen scaling walls and crushing ice.
    I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks
    making them more efficient in the area of heat retention.
    I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees,
    I write award-winning operas,I manage time efficiently.
    Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

    I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing,
    I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed,
    and I cook thirty-minute brownies in twenty minutes.
    I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

    Using only a hoe and a large glass of water,
    I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin
    from a horde of ferocious army ants.
    I play bluegrass cello,I was scouted by Juventus,
    I am the subject of numerous documentaries.
    When I'm bored,I build large suspension bridges in my shed.
    I enjoy urban hang gliding.
    On Wednesdays, after school,
    I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

    I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.
    Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.
    I don't perspire.
    I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail.
    Last summer I toured Burkino Faso with a traveling
    centrifugal-force demonstration.
    I bat 400.
    My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame
    in international botany circles.
    Children trust me.

    I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.
    I once read Paradise Lost,Moby Dick,and David Copperfield in one day
    and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening.
    I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket.
    I chant Latin whilst working casually as a freelance ambassador.
    I perform short operas in the street to raise money for
    injured stunt dolphins,and regularly powerlift garden
    furniture for an entire afternoon.

    I have performed several covert operations for the CIA.
    I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair.
    While on holiday in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group
    of terrorists who had seized a small bakery.
    The laws of physics do not apply to me.

    I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid.
    On weekends, to let off steam,I participate in full-contact origami.
    Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
    I have made extraordinary four course meals using
    only a pot noodle and a small spoon.

    I breed prize winning clams.
    I have won bullfights in San Juan,
    cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka,
    and spelling awards at the Kremlin.
    I have played Hamlet,
    I have performed open-heart surgery,
    and I have spoken to Elvis.

    But I have not yet been to college.

      When we apply to university through UCAS we have to make a personal statement, to put it into context.

        Glad we don't have to do anything like that over here.
        Titanium is the new bling!
        (you heard from me first!)

          If we change our course and we want to apply for BAföG (federal financial aid for all students without rich parents, half loan, half grant), we have to give reasons why we started the old course, why we didn't stay at the old course and why we want(ed) to start the specific new one we chose. Once the main/advanced study period has started (usually after one or two years AFAIK), we have to have very pressing reasons for changing courses.
