#scholarship essay writing

[mildew-dread-mold]

a fucking groundbreaking thought...twinyards trivia night...

andrew has eidetic memory and aaron is a fucking nerd who seems like he would write "as a person with an unquenchable appetite for knowledge,," on his college application and wouldn't even need to lie about it.

so every tuesday evening they go downtown and find restaurants with trivia events and then they fucking dominate.

edit: i bet they're also friends with some of the old ladies who are regulars at certain restaurants they also frequently go to. the old ladies think they're very smart and handsome young men and ask for pictures of their boyfriend/girlfriend.

Which of Gord’s audio clips is your favorite?

(My fave is ‘he was wearing athletic shoes outside the gym, obviously we can’t talk to him anymore’ 💀)

Oh oh… I have many! But my most favorite lines:

“I’m an excellent boxer, you know” 😈

“I need to do some shopping, ta ta” 💅

“You better not damage my clothes!” 😡

“Have you ever even been kissed by a rich boy?” 🫦

“I feel strangely attracted to you” 🥰

“I really love Aquaberry! Maybe daddy will buy me stock in the company” ✨

OKAY EVERYONE. I have an interview for a mentorship program that will, among other things, give me $16,000 (as a STIPEND) and an ipad. everyone pray/commit human sacrifice/whatever

stickers update

the 16 gravity falls designs are complete except the stanford one who has only half his lineart due to my fear of drawing that many fingers

also the printer seems to also zoom everything in just like five percent which is just enough that it completely ruins the borders needed for the stickers- however- barring disaster upon testing the cutting machine looks like it should work brilliantly

Weekly Wrap-Up

July 22nd, 2024 - July 28, 2024

🌸 This week has been pretty great overall. Let's review what I managed to get done:

Two visits to my parents. One for the car, one for the garage sale.

Submitted 5 scholarship essays

Deposited 5 checks that have been sitting around

Cleaned out my car/fridge. They're very neat now

Went grocery shopping instead of procrastinating it

Ordered two new chargers. One for my office, one for home

Fixed up a chapter of the book I'm writing for NaNoWriMo and posted it in the writing group for folks to workshop today

Researched 10 different programs for my conference presentation

Sent in the BOD application. Even though it was auto-rejected (due to number of applicants) I still finally sent it in

Did my nails for the new job, then took them off (didn't like them)

🏫 School is rapidly approaching. Mid-to-late August. I wanted to apply to 100 scholarships before school starts, but at this rate, it'll be more like 50. I still have around 3 weeks left so... guess we'll see. Gonna increase the rate I work at.

🎧 My pink headphones I've had since... it has to be since 2020 finally gave up the ghost. They underwent some heavy daily use, and spent a short stint of time in a garage when I was between houses, so I'm honestly shocked they lasted 4 years. I just went to lay down while I was wearing them a few days ago, something went CRACK in the left ear, and since then it was a right-ear-only headphone 🤡 Thankfully I had brand-new extras in my closet I ordered because I thought these broke previously but hadn't-- the cord was just loose-- and so I wasn't bothered in the least. Awesome.

🎤 Nervous for the upcoming conference in... a week and a half. I know I'm prepared to write my piece of the deliverables (the powerpoint, the presentation) but I'm not convinced my co-presenters are. Tomorrow, I need to ask them more directly if they're able to answer several questions pertaining to our topic-- because that's what we need to put in the slides. They only have like 3 days left to research enough to rectify that if they aren't. And I understand some people operate on a last-minute based work schedule, but I'm not. It's important we get this DONE.

💼 Work for the upcoming week should be smooth enough. Still settling into my new role and trying to figure out what would be best to change/adapt for the program. I need to brainstorm some more while I'm at work and figure all that out.

Good things ahead, I know it!

writing my scholarship application essay at starbucks & then taking a stroll at a naked house. also, i'm wearing a green vest that's the same shade as my fav matcha latte 🫶🏽

ykw actually? the obsession with sources that are "appropriate" for use in academic spaces is just an excuse to devalue non-dominant knowledges/wisdom/forms of knowing and also a way to prevent us from accurately analysing phenomena we know are real.

it's a way of controlling what we can talk and learn about, and how we talk and learn about it. it's a way of ensuring that The Academy can still dictate the language we have to use, the information we can share, and the ways we can share it. i fucking hate it.

scholarship applications go to hell and DIE challenge

I'm sorry but I'm trying to google how scholarship essays are written and this advice is freakish. I honestly don't know what the scholarship people expect out of essays but if it is weirdass dramatized storybook-like descriptions of my life then they are not getting it cause I am NOT doin that shit not even for a thousand dollars lmao.
