Since many of you are getting your college decisions and trying to figure out where you are going to spend the next four years of your life, we decided to take a little trip down memory lane!

In this game, each of us (Jamila, Madison, Nyah, Zimra, and I) chose snippets from our college essays (personal statement or supplementals) and put them all into a hat. Then, we drew them one by one, all of us trying to guess who wrote each snippet.

This game was pretty fun and I think it’s funny to listen to as well. Thank you for being here!

P.S. I am sorry for the screams.
