I'm doing 39 things
After meticulously editing supplements and personal statements, all of my college applications and related fees/papers are submitted! This is such a huge relief. I am thankful for how my college essays prompts were catalysts for self-reflection and helped me hone in on what I was looking for in schools. Now to wait for decisions—hurrah!

i’m not going to divulge the nitty-gritty details, but I have an expenses-paid trip abroad this month and am working on applying for a dream internship!
