Some invaluable advice....

[nostimost]

Has anyone else come across this gem? It's from www.gradschools.com, in an article entitled "What To Do While You're Waiting..." The first four items in the article were sort of bland but normal advice. The last bit was this:

Buy a Chia Pet and watch it grow

Caring for a fake pet will no doubt relax you and give you a friend to confide in while you're stressing about the results. Just don't desert him after you're accepted. Chia pets need sustained love and care.

It also had a YouTube video of a Chia Pet commercial.

I mean, now I know what my life was missing. How did I not see this before? I clearly need a Chia Pet.

Cool! I love pets, and I love plants, so pet + plant = Chia Pet. Or a real pet could do just as well! See the "Animal Companions" thread in Waiting It Out.
