This is so real. I got asked to film TikToks for an org once and I could not stand to edit them because of how I looked so they never got posted. Honestly good on you for (even if accidentally) getting yourself out there like that!

Is there anything specific you’re looking for? I could mention it in the @applyingto.college Discord server. Some kids there have started their FAFSA.

Not impossible to do. Could use a narrative in your personal statement or the additional info section in a similar way. I wouldn’t say what you said verbatim but you could discuss how your mindset has changed and your confidence in yourself grew
