The Maine School of Science and Mathematics

Hello!
For those who don't know and hadn't guessed by now, MSSM stands for the Maine School of Science and Mathematics, at least in reference to this blog. It stands for a couple of things that'll show up if you Google search it, and a couple more if you search it on Urban Dictionary, so I just wanted to be clear.
It may seem like there's no purpose for this blog besides my own need for attention, and while that's part of it, I mostly wanted there to be more stuff about this amazing place out there. When I was applying I was really excited about it, and I tried to get all the information about it I could via the internet. Unfortunately, unlike most things, the internet has a very finite amount of information about MSSM and the residential life experience. The blog they have students run for a work job leaves much to be desired, and there's almost zero presence on Youtube. So this is for everyone who's like me and needs more information about a potentially amazing situation.
So what is the Maine School of Science and Mathematics? If you asked my friend Tabby, she would say "Smart people school." If you asked an Admissions Ambassador, they would tell you that MSSM is a charter school, that it's the #1 school in New England, and that it's in the top 3 schools in the country. For me, MSSM is a place I can get the education I need to not be bored, and a place where I can fit in socially. There are no stupid people here. There are people who have odd interests and schools of thought, but they can all hold intelligent conversations, which is something that I crave. The friend group that adopted me is the typical 'nerd' group. It encompasses about half the school, which is beautiful in it's own right. There are so many clubs here too, and if there's a club that you want to join that isn't here yet, you can just start it yourself! That's how I became a founding member of LARP club here at MSSM. It's pretty amazing. The workload is outrageous, but necessary, and probably not going to be mentioned very much in this blog because my intent is for it to be a Residential Life blog.
So yea.
Chow for Now.
