In the most adorable behavior since CuteOverload.com posted a picture of a puppy in a bowtie, Cornell's Class of 2011(!!!) seems convinced that their summer reading assignment, a shameless orientation time-filler meant only to unite the most unhep cats on campus, actually matters.

For those students who claim they've heard the assignment was unnecessary, the overachievers are quick to respond:

haha sounds like they lied to you

At least some kids are taking the initiative to say **** It. Says one pre-frosh:

how come 010 got the great gatsby and we got this peace of shit with no cliff notes?

i mean come on.
i wanna graduate a eyar early, does that mean i get to read the great gatsby?

Of course, since this comes from the same student whose current Facebook status is "is would like to put his dart in your mouth," absolutely no one is listening to him.
