today was interview day at rider for the community scholars program. a lot of it was informational stuff, but we also had to actually do a service work and have an interview. we made 150 pb&js, 75 bags of pretzles and a brownie, all for this midnight run they do in nyc for people who need food to eat. i talked to a lady about this midnight run, and she asked me what i thought it was about. and i said it was about giving food to people who can't afford it themselves, but she surprised me in her response and realized she was right. it's about communicating with these people who are looked past everyday by millions of people but never come into contact to. and she is right because i think it would make a world of a difference not having the ability to talk to the people around us, so it makes this program all the more reason to want to be involved in it. the interview portion was just as good. there were three people who interviewed you at the same time and took notes on my answers. one of them was joshabel who was my campus tour guide for when i went to the accepted students day so she remembered me because we had emailed a few times. she was amazing and she said i did really well. so we find out in about two weeks whether we've been accepted or not and i am so excited. plus there was a cute boy with a lip ring who did the actual service part. we'll see :) two boys from rider were sent to the emergency room the other day because they had too much alcohol in their bodies. one is getting released and is getting better, but the other died today. there were a ton of news stations vans at the school while we were there. and i saw joshabel and her friends looking at a computer and were crying. i want to say something but i'm not sure what to say because there isn't really anything i could say to help. it's sad though that it has to take a person to die from drinking for people to realize it isn't cool to get completely fucked up like that. i don't mind a little drinking once in awhile, but i'd rather not waste my time forgetting everything around me. despite the lesson behind this, it's sad what happened and it gives me the most terrible feeling even thinking about how his family and friends might feel right now. on a happier note, mark's show is on sunday ♥ i am SO so excited. and about three billion kids from south are going. boo but good for them so they have a better chance of getting on bamboozle which they will! i went running on the boardwalk yesterday after school and then me, christina, and marissa jumped in the ocean. it was insane and freezing. and we were stripping in my car right in front of the boardwalk where people were walking. but it's a free country ahhah okay i'm done.
