Last week, Reddit user bennytheriv (http://www.reddit.com/user/bennytheriv) posted his acceptance letter from Trinity University, which included something ** other student probably recieved — a personalized pet rock.
As the redditor explains, he wrote his application essay to the school about making pet rocks (http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1tad4w/i_wrote_my_college_essay_about_making_pet_rocks/). So, when the school sent the student his acceptance letter, they included a truly appropriate gift, along with the following letter:
Congrats once again on your Trinity acceptance! After reading your essay, several of us on the admissions committee thought you needed a Trinity pet rock to add to your collection. I hope you proudly display it and we hope to see you here in August!
Here are pictures of the personalized Trinity University pet rock and admissions letter, courtesy of bennytheriv:
