McCarty was born on March 7, 1908, in Shubuta, Mississippi. She was raised in nearby Hattiesburg by her aunt and grandmother. McCarty, who never married and had no children, lived frugally in a house without air conditioning. She never had a car or learned to drive, so she walked everywhere, including the grocery store that was one mile from her home. When she was 8 years old, McCarty opened a savings account at a bank in Hattiesburg and began depositing the coins she earned from her laundry work. She would eventually open accounts in several local banks. By the time McCarty retired at age 86, her hands crippled by arthritis, she had saved $280,000. She set aside a pension for herself to live on, a donation to her church, and small inheritances for three of her relatives. The remainder—$150,000—she donated to the University of Southern Mississippi, a school that had remained all-white until the 1960s. McCarty stipulated that her gift be used for scholarships for Black students from southern Mississippi who otherwise would not be able to enroll in college due to financial hardship. Business leaders in Hattiesburg matched her bequest and hundreds of additional donations poured in from around the country, bringing the total endowment to nearly half a million dollars. The first beneficiary of McCarty’s largesse was Stephanie Bullock, an 18-year-old honors student from Hattiesburg, who received a $1,000 scholarship. Bullock subsequently visited McCarty regularly and drove her around town on errands. In 1998 the University awarded McCarty an honorary degree. She received an honorary doctorate from Harvard University, and President Bill Clinton awarded her the Presidential Citizens Medal. McCarty died of liver cancer on September 26, 1999, at the age of 91. In 2019 McCarty’s home was moved to Hattiesburg’s Sixth Street Museum District and turned into a museum.

September 2nd, 2024. Monday.

What I accomplished:

Cleaned out my computer a bit, opened up 40 gigs of space

Dusted my computer. Been meaning to do this for too long 😬

3 scholarships drafted and submitted

5 pages bullet journaled

1 hour of reading

1 hour of relaxation

Set up Google Calendar again. I do so much better with gcal.

Set up new projects for my task planner: fitness, reading, writing, and school (the last 4 in the image.)

🕰️ Total time studied: 8 hours, 4:30am -> 11am, 1pm -> 2:30pm

💗 Doing a lot better than I was the previous week. I realized that I've grown INCREDIBLY bored of doing the same tasks every day, so I'm working on mixing things up a bit. That's why I added more goals to my sheet. It's nice to clarify it and lay it all out.

Thinking about how secondary schools usually have three-word Latin mottos on the emblem to show which virtues are most exercised ("Modeste, Strenue, Sancte", "Stet Fortuna Domus"..) so having the original Bully game named Canis Canem Edit was a jab at this system while hinting at what Bullworth's climate is like.

as we approach the start of a new semester i'm sending all the compassion and empathy in the world to students who struggle with procrastination and what I affectionately like to call the Shame Monster that goes along with it. it sucks to always be treading water and feeling like a fraud to yourself and others, especially when it's something you truly care about. if you're always thinking "why can everyone else be responsible and organized but not me," your brain is overgeneralizing. you're not the only person to experience being overwhelmed and stuck. and even IF everyone else balanced their life perfectly, that wouldn't make you a bad person for struggling. if you care about something but keep avoiding it and don't understand why, there is probably more going than you realize. if your physical and mental health are being neglected, then you're never going to be able to accomplish what you want to do because you don't have any gas in the tank. it took me crashing and failing last semester for me to finally admit to myself that i was suffering from some SERIOUS burnout. i had this whole plan for research i was going to do over the summer and all these opportunities i wanted to take advantage of that i couldn't do because i was neglecting to take care of myself. the worst thing my anxious brain told me could ever happen did happen and i'm still alive. i hope that doesn't happen to you, but know you can recover and come back better. also: it's okay to stop wanting what you thought you wanted, or to take a different path than the one you were "supposed" to. don't do things because you think other people expect you to, or because you think it's too late to change your mind. that isn't sustainable. your college experience is for YOU, not for other people. you can do this!

On Kings Row's fencing scholarship

Thinking about this AU and what might have happened if Nicholas had never taken up the fencing scholarship at Kings Row that year made me wonder: who was the recipient of the fencing scholarship last year?

I mean, when Harvard is showing Nicholas to his dorm room he says this:

"We" here could refer to Kings Row as a whole, but that seems bizarre, that there would be only one scholarship student of any kind per year. Besides, "you won't feel out of place" suggests that Nicholas would be in good company as a scholarship student among the fencers (not just in the school). (One scholarship student per year among the whole school would definitely lead to feeling out of place).

But since we know that the fencing scholarship student has to make the team, who could it have been last year?

Aiden clearly has enough money that he wouldn't need a scholarship. Harvard seems well-off too, and if he were also a scholarship student, that would definitely be relevant to bring up in a conversation like this. Kally we know is a scholarship student, but he's an academic scholar, not a fencing scholar. And if it were Tanner, again, you'd think that would come up - since everyone made a big deal about Nicholas and Kally being "the two scholarship students", if Tanner were a scholarship student, that would have been mentioned.

But that doesn't leave any more team slots for a fencing scholar. So, was the scholarship not awarded to anyone? Or maybe the fencing scholar didn't make the team (ouch ><)?

Dwelling on this made me think about how tough it is to require the scholarship recipient to make the team in order to keep their scholarship. I mean, it does make sense - academic scholars have to demonstrate academic excellence; sports scholars need to demonstrate sporting excellence. And how do you demonstrate excellence? By making the cut for the team.

But at least good academic performance is only dependent on you. Getting good grades doesn't require someone else to get bad grades, and if another person gets really good grades, that doesn't make your good grades go away. It's not a zero-sum game.

Whereas there are only four slots available on the fencing team, and that means that you as a fencing scholarship recipient only need to be outperformed by four other students to lose your slot. In a school where most of the other students will be older and more experienced than you, that's a pretty harsh requirement.

(It also makes me wonder if you need to make the cut for the team every year in order to keep the scholarship. Surely not, right? But then, as an academic scholar, if your grades slip, you're in danger, so... the same applies to a hypothetical fencing scholar...

But then that means that between freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors... you would need a fencing scholar to take up every single slot on the team.

How does this scholarship work??? someone give me the answers)
