<p>I'm attending a one-week journalism seminar at Columbia University this summer.</p>

<p>I'm also entering a few essay contests this year, so hopefully I'll be able to say on my resume that I placed at some point. Also, I'm participating in some debate competitions this year and next year, so I'm hoping for a few victories there too.</p>

<p>I know exactly who I'm going to approach for recs, so they should be very good, and essay-writing is one of my biggest strengths, so I should be pretty good there too.</p>

<p>Might have gotten a little long-winded here, but any feedback would be very, very much appreciated. Thanks!</p>
