Thank You, Dr. Krugman

(I wouldn't call him Dr. just because of his Ph.D. But he has a Nobel.)

after a long hard day of reading student applications. (My suggestion that we reject all applicants claiming to be “passionate” about their plans was rejected, but with obvious reluctance.)

Anyway, thanks for reminding me the word "passionate"/passion needs to go on the list.

So, to rehash:
awesome
amazing
lifechanging
passionate
