Friend: So where are you going next year?
Me: Oh, well most applications were only due 10 days ago so I won't even know if I've been accepted anywhere for a couple months.
Significant other cuts in: Well, our first choice is University X, but University Y wouldn't be so bad, the weather is nice there and when I visit we could go to tourist attractions A, B and C.
Me: No... no, that's not how this works...
