At first when I read about the Ms. magazine scandal, I rolled my eyes. I rolled my eyes because I believed this to be another anti-Israel forward that my mother received and decided to spread. I rolled my eyes because I believed it was overly dramatized by people looking for controversy.  I rolled my eyes due to utter lack of interest in a situation I believed to be fruitless.  I did not roll my eyes because this is another one of the repeated attacks against Israel through the media.

I always thought my college interviews would be the easiest part of the college application process. After all, why wouldn’t they be? I’m talkative, opinionated and loud (just ask my teachers!) and I’ve never had a problem communicating. A month ago, a college I’ll refer to as “College Z” came for an interview. Somehow, I managed to screw up “the easiest part” of the application.
