The Apology

Hi.
There is so much time that has gone by. Who is this Matthew? Who is this blog contributor? Where is he?
I’m always finding that out. Even right now. Before your eyes in 12 point font as I type this and reflect.
I find talk with little action supporting it odious. I have been ever so busy [...]

The New Girl: Meghan Joins The “C” Word

Why, hello, internet!
I’m going to start this off with the typical—albeit cliché—introduction: my name is Meghan, I’m a sophomore in high school, my zodiac sign is cancer, and I have two cats and a somewhat peculiar fixation regarding David Bowie and zebras. I can’t explain it either. My passions, however, are not limited to these [...]

Shelby Joins The “C” Word

Hello dears!
My name is Shelby and I’m new to The “C” Word blogging team.  I’m a high school senior living in Cypress, Texas.   My nickname is Mermaid.
I love to read, explore, and discuss current issues.  I love baking cupcakes, sewing, and yoga, and I’m one of those weird people who enjoys cleaning.  I am passionate [...]

My Experience with Personal College Counselors

Every high school has counselors who can guide you through the college application process and give you the information you need.  Unfortunately, the average student-to-counselor ratio is 500 to 1.  Clearly, sometimes you can’t get all the individual help that you need.

At the beginning of November, I [...]

Blogging FTW!

As some of you may know, I’ve been long-distance interning for Zinch, a college recruitment site, for the past 3 or so weeks. Every week my group, called the “Student Voice,” have assignments we must complete. This week, remarkably, I was told to write for The Zinch Report, Zinch’s very own blog. I already have [...]

No news is…

I can’t say good news, I can’t say bad news. Rather, no news is no news. I’ve finished Glory Road, and I must say it’s much better in retrospect than it seems at the time. It’s a parody of sorts, ridiculous and cheesy for the first half – and completely amazing for the second. Heinlein [...]

Blog Mission Statement

I felt compelled to write this latest post.
We as a blog need a mission statement. We need to clearly lay out for us what we are aiming to do and what the reader will be able to get from following our blog.
What is our motive; our primary goal? In essence, it is to help you, [...]

Spaz if you want to

(I’m the second to the left)
Hey ya’ll – I’m following up on what Nancy said. I’m going to stagger my blocks of text with a few interesting pictures thrown in.
Today was our last day of school. Sort of anticlimatic, but I’m relieved that it’s over. I ended my sophomore year with a bang: 4.29 GPA. [...]

Soul suckingly delicious.

Hey!
I’m Matthew, a 17 year old who lives in Stamford, CT. I attend a small private college preparatory boarding school. I’ll be entering my senior year and have been voted president of my school. I have many hobbies including photography (which I love), kayaking, cooking, going out to eat, etc.
When I first read the idea, [...]

Hello stranger.

Hello. I’m Kathryn. I like to think nothing about me is ordinary, and work quite hard to prove it. Someone told me once thinking you’re weird means you have low self-esteem. I said it means I’m a realist. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and went to public school until tenth grade. Now I do correspondence [...]
