Trying to get a summer job atm
Might start a blog + pursue some other hobbies over the summer

Here’s my extremely unrealistic college list:
UCs (SD, I, SB, D, SC)
CSUs (Fullerton + SDSU)
U of Delaware
USC (lol)
Purdue
BC
BU
Northeastern
Brandeis
UofR
Minnesota
Tulane??
Syracuse
CMU (lol)
UPitt
LACs like Pitzer, Scripps, Carleton, Macalester, Bryn Mawr etc w/ a solid linguistics program and FA
Also please reverse chance me for medium- sized (about 2,000-30,000 ppl) matches and safeties in the Northeast and CA that give out generous FA and merit scholarships. My parents can pay for slightly less than half of our EFC (around 20k, parents only willing to pay about 10k but I can take out loans and work ) so that’s an issue as well.Thank you c:
