they also count qb matches for ED and matches increased this year

They still are going to want Jewish representation though? Like the school is not against them surely right theres no way

rich mist
which is good but also not great bc if i get in ED then its a waste 😔
i had fun writing some of them
hidden heart
it's never a waste to write these essays despite what people think
rich mist
nah i just spent my entire thanksgiving break either playing genshin or writing college essays
hidden heart
i think it's an awesome journey of self discovery
i liked my college essays quite a bit actually, especially the ones i wrote for yale and uchicago and brown and penn

my most fun supp was the “what brings you joy” brown supp, cuz i literally just wrote a chunk of text about my love of kirby.

i'm at the library rn just chatting with y'all while working on my final for a philosophy haha

i have trolled a bit in the past asking stupid questions
eternal heart
...
hidden heart
i was asking people like
eternal heart
u fooled me
hidden heart
this was a long time ago though
i think maybe because of the unhealthy amount of time i've spent here over the past few days
eternal heart
^ same
rich mist
i thought you were applying too 😭
hidden heart
i put high school senior then
rich mist
yea
hidden heart
i was pretending to be an applicant while having in mind the thought of providing guidance
rich mist
i remember
hidden heart
lmfaooo
rich mist
ohhh 😭
hidden heart
i was trolling like that for a while mostly because other people on here i know irl
but they don't know it's me
(the other brown co27s)
but i decided to stop and actually try to help y'all because y'all are cool
and i want cool students here
rich mist
nice nice
hidden heart
promise me to not completely conform and end up doing cs though
rich mist
i won’t (hopefully)
hidden heart
hopefully please
rich mist
i think brown is where i can grow the most
rich mist
but also i’m scared because growth=change
hidden heart
why be scared of change?
rich mist
ahh that’s a later problem
hidden heart
(change takes time getting used to, but honestly i think by convincing yourself to be excited about all that's to come, you're making the most out of the limited experience in life)
rich mist
this is a tmr me issue as well
hidden heart
see you later!
rich mist
see you!
eternal heart
