Jaida Triblet It’s been ten years since you left me, I don’t cry anymore. Although sores are still open, salted & blistering, I miss you but I can't find the words to tell you I love you. Our emotions hang in the air thick and tense like a black cloud darkening this relationship. I choke on heavy black smoke, Daddy I can't say I love you. And you can't say sorry, because there’s no reason to apologize, so we continue living this lie, this pretend 'father-daughter' relationship that so many girls envy, but they're the lucky ones, can't you see Daddy?

While I love Sarah Lawrence and know it will suit me, I regret not trying to apply elsewhere because I will never know what colleges would have ac...

By Luis K. Feliz 1. Start early . Go to Commonapp.org and open an account. Most of the schools to which you will apply accept the commonapp. Make a list of at least 10 schools, or a maximum of 15. Your lists should consists of “reach schools,” that is, schools that have a low acceptance rate, think Stanford, the University of Chicago, Harvard, “target schools,” that is, schools that are selective but you have more of a chance of getting in, and safety schools. On safety schools, I did not like applying to safety schools because I did not think I would attend any of them, if I were admitted. Thankfully, I had many choices to choose from and thus I did not have to dip into my target or safety schools. However, you don’t want to be a snob about looking into great safety schools. Three schools that you might consider are: Reed College, Mount Holyoke (women only), and Bard. 2. Affordability. Your lists should include schools that give transfers hefty financial aid packages. Therefore,...
