<p>Work experience
I've worked at the largest and most legendary indie record store in the city for a year; youngest ever hired by far (at 15)</p>
<p>Love Columbia, been wanting to go there since I was 6. People told me I would change my mind but I never did. Most likely I'm going to either use an essay that contrasts the less-than-pristine quality of my job (they asked me if I was even going to college) with my ritzy college-prep school, or an essay entitled "In Defense of Dead White Guys" which is pretty self-explanatory. History major all the way; can't wait to take a class from Eric Foner. Also applying EA to U of Chicago, but that's more for peace of mind: I'm 110% Columbia blue and white.</p>
