What I Learned From Maintaining a Hate Blog
I was a broken 7th grade with the ability to write, and it made me an awful person. Thinking back, I’m ashamed at what I thought mattered. Life amounted to fashion and friends and things that seem timeless but eventually go out of style or break. This ended up with me maintaining a hate blog.
This Kid I Know: Shreya

INFP Personality Types, Unite!
My friend Natalie made me take this personality test with ~70 questions.

This Kid I Know: Colin
Colin is one of my best friends. I have always been confused as to why this is, since we have very few mutual friends. I know that if you read this and you know both of us, you’ll be confused, because we don’t have much in common. But I don’t have to justify our friendship toContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Colin”
Dinner with 12 Strangers: Unlike Anything I’d Done Before
Northwestern has a program called “Dinner with 12 Strangers” during which an alumni hosts a dinner and students sign up to converse and eat with 11 of their peers, the only known commonality linking them all being the school that they attended.
