Elmo needs education too.

People should be taken as seriously either way, Elmo lives matter!

"Alright, here's his latest email! I can't believe Elmo is thinking of coming HERE—wait, his profile picture is different! How do even know this really is Elmo?!"

I can't imagine they would do anything more than chuckle and show it to a friend. Chances of them keeping you out because of a funny email pic are as low as my self esteem

Better Elmo then drugs and alcohol related pics.

"Educate Me" Elmo? That's a new one. Well let's get him into our university and see what happens.

This is kinda funny. I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying you deserved it because you didn't know but when contacting college or potential employers it's always better to have "formal" e-mail account. Hope they will be understanding OP

could have been SO much worse! Especially if you didn't realise others could see it! Don't worry OP

It's a profile picture. That in itself implies that it's for others to see...

it's time to start adulting you need an email that involves your real name and you only use it for the real business in your life, dealing with colleges, employers, creditors and such.
