Something random: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is a feature-length Japanese animated musical film originally released on December 1, 2003. The film is the visual realization of Discovery, an album by Daft Punk. Each track from the album has been animated as an episode in the story of the abduction and rescue of an interstellar pop band. The film was produced by the creators of the Discovery album, along with Toei Animation, under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. The film has no dialogue and minimal sound effects.

Why you chose Amherst: When I applied to college, I had a plethora of choices. Instead of bearing the Harvard Crimson, I chose to sustain the Amherst purple. Why? Because of the Lord Jeff, he and I relate on a really visceral level.
