i love graffiti. "comics and jazz are the only american art forms" you forgot graffiti. did you remember graffiti? That art form birthed in Philly and NYC in the early 70s by poor Black kids. that art form that spread all over the world and influenced so many. that's used without irony in commercials when they're trying to appeal to a "young urban" customer.

did you forget graffiti? that racism broken windows theory victim? that reach the establishment takes claiming that it's exclusively violent gang members throwing up those full-color pieces and wildstyle tags in the middle of the night outsmarting fifty security cameras because the billboard was ugly anyway. as if, even if it was, it wouldn't be impressive as all hell. risking brutality and fall damage so your art can occupy the space a gentrified condo named something like "Coluumna" took away from you. proving that despite only assholes affording to live here anymore there's still a soul beneath it. an animal with dripping stripes and teeth that go clack-clack tsssss

#graffiti #it's like how they claim touching a paper that had drugs on it can kill a police officer #manufactured fear of art itself because of who made it #you won't invest in addiction recovery or keeping libraries open or extracurricular programs but you'll sure as hell give cops overtime #so they can beat a kid writing on a shutter #writers have such big dick energy

As universities across the US tout record application numbers and record-low admissions rates, college admissions seem to get more and more competitive. That means more and more is expected of high school students looking to gain admission to the nation’s most competitive universities.

With so many students earning GPAs well over 4.0 and SAT scores over 1500, it can be difficult for admissions officers and interviewers to distinguish between one elite candidate and another.

One of the primary ways candidates stand out among an elite pack is through their extracurricular activities lists. When building your activities list, keep in mind that “activities” means more than school clubs and organizations. Activities can include a job outside of school, a passion project you’ve been working on independently, or even a family obligation, such as taking care of your siblings.

Transcripts are records of your time spent in school; the activities list are records of your time spent outside of school. If you’ve done something meaningful outside of school hours—for your own personal development or for others—then you should consider including it in your activities list.

So, how do you build an activities list that will stand out?

⏳ TIME IS MONEY 💰

Admissions officers are not impressed that you spent three hours one week volunteering at a nearby nursing home. They are also not moved by the fact that you attended monthly one-hour meetings for your school’s video game club.  

Of course, you should volunteer, even if it does not demand a significant time commitment. And yes, attend those monthly meetings. Depending on how much you’ve done outside of school, you might want to include one-time volunteer work or minor engagement with a school organization, but neither of these should be at the top of your list.

Admissions officers are impressed with sustained engagement. Your activities list should communicate passion and commitment. What is most important is that you list activities that demand several hours of commitment each week, and that you have kept up with that commitment for the long haul—the longer, the better.  

Practiced the piano five hours a week since eighth grade? Get credit for all that work here. The time you spent in high school is the raw material for making a compelling case for why you belong at the school of your dreams. 

It is going to take commitment and passion to be a meaningful contributor to a university community. By demonstrating long-term commitment to activities you are passionate for, especially activities with social merit, you show admissions officers that you’re capable of bringing that energy to their university. 

TAKE THE LEAD

There is an art to being an effective follower, and most universities do, or at least should, value that kind of work. But most universities also put a premium on leadership. In addition to demonstrating that you are committed and passionate, you need to show that you are capable of leading a group and of bringing people together to accomplish an important task.

This means being president of a club or captain of a team. It can also means taking initiative by starting a club or group that wasn’t there before you arrived.

It is also worth noting that leadership is not limited to schools or outside organizations. If you take a leadership role at home—with your family business, or by taking care of your siblings—it is important that you gain recognition for this work, too. Make sure to include any meaningful task that has demanded your time.

BE “SPECIFIC AND STORIED”

As with recommendation letters, the best activities lists are “specific and storied.” That is, your activities list needs to be detailed, with strong action verbs. Your activities list needs to give narrative shape to you as an accomplished individual with a world of potential.

Who are you? That’s what admissions officers want to know. Your friends and family might know your essential self, independent of your actions today or yesterday. But admissions officers will only know you by how you’ve spent your time.

In order to be specific and storied, focus on describing your activities with strong action verbs.

Take these descriptions of the same activity. Which is better? 

President, Chess Club Held weekly meetings to discuss and practice chess. President, Chess ClubOversaw weekly meetings to develop strategies; coordinated practices of ten to fifteen members to hone skills.

The first tells it like it is, but the second shows us much more. Why is the second stronger? “Oversaw” implies action and direction, whereas “held” feels more passive. “Coordinated” reveals an act that the first one conceals: this student had to make announcements, recruit new club members, and follow up with the existing members, but all that work gets lost in the vague description of the first listing. “Hone skills” digs into the purpose of these meetings, whereas “discuss” fails to reveal that purpose.

In order to tell the admissions committee who you are, use action verbs to show them what you’ve done. Refer to this list for examples of action phrases and action verbs that can separate your activities list from others.

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from July 2019. ​ In this episode, we complain about all those sports, activities, camps, and classes that we thought would be the answer to our prayers, but fell short (sometimes, way short). Who knew trying to help our kids find their passion and their tribe would be so hard?

whatever the true reason is for Kipperlilly hating Riz specifically, there is something uniquely hilarious to me about the idea of this high strung rogue harboring this pathological, foaming-at-the-mouth-with-hatred, one-sided rivalry with another rogue student for two whole years, and then she shows up to the first day of junior year and gets read for filth by his cleric friend, who goes on the immediately surpass all previous levels of hatred and create a two-sided rivalry that the original rival is just tagging along with because of Friend Duties. absolutely hysterical that Riz hates Kipperlilly out of disdain for the ratgrinders and solidarity with Kristen, meanwhile Kipperlilly's main-character rivalry with Riz was usurped in roughly .5 seconds by Kristen Applebees whipping out "What are you, like, four dogs?"

#fantasy high #d20 #fhjy spoilers #I'm sorry but this is just TOO FUCKING FUNNY to me #Kipperlilly has been waiting for the fulfillment of her rivalry with Riz for Two Whole Years #and then Kristen came in with the steel chair and seven truckloads of venom for her #Riz does not care. Riz is doing extracurriculars. Riz does not have time to have an arch nemesis like Kristen does

Ideas For Homeschool Families - Part one Monthly Themes

Zeroing in on the end of our school year, I've decided to get creative on our final few months and throughout our vacation, incorporating themed and fun topics.

Something I’ve noticed being around my kids 24/7, is that my child like perspective of the world is slowly coming back (not a bad thing). My creativity and resourcefulness is improving and to be honest, I’m glad none of my jobs worked out because being around my kids is more rewarding, fulfilling and definitely 100% worth my time. They show me the kind of world that I have only seemed to lose…
