What I Wish I Knew Before College: My Biggest Regrets
Hi, welcome :) I'm Jasmine, a junior at Cornell and honestly college has been one heck of a ride so far. There are many things I wish I had done or had done better these past few years and as I go into my upperclassmen years, I hope to remind you younger ones of the parts of life we may overlook or take too seriously.
Reach out anytime if you have questions.
With love and support,
Jasmine

as my week-long college tour came to an end, i still was struggling to figure out which school would be the "right fit" for me. living in new york city had been my fantasy for the longest time. however, everything is just too expensive... as for cornell: i went into ithaca thinking that i wouldve chosen duke. cornell has always been described as "depressing" and "dead". but those are just stere...

    I'm not sure if you still read comments, but you talking about the struggle to retain an authentic identity in the face of social expectations is so true (13:00). There's a French philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, who I think you'd really like. Sartre talks a lot about freedom, and how we're naturally inclined to throw it away in the face of other people's expectations. It's almost like we're naturally possessed to fit into the little social box assigned to us.

    Jasmine, my brother chose Dyson over Duke too (and Yale). He is now in IB and so happy he chose Cornell and said it was the best choice he ever made. You might know this, but if you got a better financial aid offer from Duke, Cornell will match it. And even if you did not know this before today, you can show them your Duke offer and they will, in essence, refund you by retroactively crediting your account. And complain bloody hell if they don't. They are pretty fair when you complain. ;)
