Hello, friends!
As some of y'all may know, I'm minor in educational studies, and one of my biggest passions coming from the poor high school I attended is equity in public education.
As such, I have started a small [organization? coalition?] with a few friends to advocate for educational equity in a number of different contexts and ways. It's still very small, but if it at something that interest you, you can find it on both Instagram (@/collegestudentsforedequity) and Twitter (@/csforedequity)!
Talk again soon as the fall semester approaches!
Much love,
Colby <3

i almost made another one of those little "everything i read for school this semester" posts after this past semester but i literally did not have it in me to compile all of it because i was reading something like 500-1000 pages a week, just for context

Hi! How are you?
I wanted to ask if it's okay to dm you for tips for applying to Harvard as I'm going to start my application this fall!
All the love!
Hello!
Sorry for a later reply than I'd usually give, but I've just gotten home from the ~2 day drive home from Harvard & have been deep into unpacking, etc.
You can absolutely DM me about specific questions and such about applying to Harvard, though I'm gonna offer some larger, looser advice here for everyone
You absolutely do not need to present yourself as jack-of-all-trades-renaissance-man that we often get told is the perfect applicant in high school.
The best way to work through your application is to tell a story. Explain why you care so much about Math or poetry or environmental activism or whatever it may be -- did you do several activities in high school related to STEM? You can make yourself a STEM applicant. If you didn't give a fuck about the humanities in high school you don't have to make yourself look like you did
Let yourself have fun! I know, I know -- what? But, truly, doing personal essays and putting together the pieces of yourself, all that jazz can be fun if you don't stress too, too much! Yes, applications are important but separating yourself from that is worthwhile to keep yourself sane.
Stay ahead of deadlines. Ask your teachers for recommendations as soon as possible. Draft a personal essay over the summer. Working down to deadlines will make you miserable, and if you can stay ahead of them it is worth doing.
Of course, these are broad and general and maybe not super useful, but (anyone!) feel free to shoot me a message about anything re: Harvard, college applications, etc.

best of luck to all of y’all who are currently playing that game of trying to distract yourself from the fact that tomorrow is ivy day.
i know how horrifying and debilitating ivy day can feel, and i am sending the best of vibes.
much love,
