Both times I took the ACT as a high school senior, I showed up shaking with nerves. The idea that a timed, multiple-choice test would determine my future college and career plans frightened me beyond belief.
When someone reaches out to you through Instagram direct message, they’re either sending you a post or their account got hacked, giving you the dreaded “check out what I made on Instagram” fraudulent message victimizing your account. College students' youthful ignorance creates an environment with low awareness, allowing hackers to trick them into clicking anonymous, unidentifiable links.
Walking into Claire's, a retail store for jewelry and accessories, was a daunting life experience for me. The brand’s locations fit the stereotype of a traditionally feminine store. Growing up with three sisters never geared me up for the anxiety and shame that faced me walking into the store.
When I tell you not to waste a summer break, I think of the Gen Z childhood show, “Phineas and Ferb.” The eponymous characters spend their summer days to the fullest, never sitting still or letting their days waste away.
Five college campuses, a lot of transfer credits, and emotional burnout on the horizon yet stagnant mental health have been key to my college success. Anyone who knows me knows my twin sister, Taylor, is my college ride-or-die. We have each other’s back, talking daily, and college has strengthened our relationship.
For several weeks, I opened the New York Times app to inexplicable circumstances: a war resulting from Russia's unprovoked attacks on Ukraine. However, the thousands of miles between Bloomington and Kyiv made the war appear distant from college life.
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives nationwide have grasped college campuses, businesses and organizations evoking a demand for change.
I rarely leave my apartment for my daily morning mile to class without my AirPods and my latest alternative music playlist. I am not the only one with headphones on during my walk down 10th Street toward campus. It feels like everyone surrounding me has their headphones in every morning.
I wish when I embarked on my college quest in June 2020, someone told me I was about to travel on a zigzagged path, not a linear one. My life has never been consistent; I've had many physical and emotional changes spanning the last several years of my life.
Students who live off campus can be the first to tell you that there is not much affordable housing in Bloomington.
I am a child from the participation-trophy era. I got validation from my parents, my sisters and my coaches, who coached the dreadful local basketball and soccer leagues I participated in while growing up. I was not even good at sports. Our youth's generation is led to the misbelief that we are all champions. Each trophy we received, our egos got a little bit bigger.
Online courses became a new norm over the course of the pandemic. They offer more flexibility than typical face-to-face instruction. Online courses offer a plethora of forms ranging from synchronous to asynchronous — or unscheduled time — instruction.
If someone asked for a fun fact about me two years ago, it would be that I have a twin sister, Taylor, and our birthday is July 4. Today, my fun fact is that all three of my vaccines came from different states. Each time I needed the vaccine, I have been at different stages and places in life.
This week, I took the initiative to do my own college 2021 version of logging off like Lush. I deleted Snapchat, an app we have all had at our disposal since 2011. In the last couple of days, I have experienced the world more and spent significantly less time on my phone.
In December 2019, I woke up at Kairos, a Catholic centered high school church retreat, as a group leader. I knew it was the day when Fordham University planned to release their decisions on Fall 2020 Early Decision applicants. I remember it being shortly before 3:00 PM when I saw the email.
