Grammar, vocabulary, writing, and study tips for Gen TL;DR.

If you’re a 12th grader, you’re probably knee-deep in college applications and essays. You probably know this already, but just in case you need a reminder, there are thousands of amazing colleges in the US.

Apply to the Ivy League schools if you’ve been dreaming about them for years, but don’t apply to only them if you’re just chasing after the brand name. Believe it or not, not everyone at Harvard or Yale is happy with their decision. They might have had a much better college experience somewhere else. Everybody is different. Find the best schools for YOU. 🎓  

No matter where you apply, good luck! 🙏

  • to end a connection with someone
  • to stop relying on someone or something (especially for financial support)
  • to cancel subscriptions to expensive cable or satellite services

For example,

After decades of relying on his parents for financial support, Henry’s cousin finally cut the cord and moved out on his own.  🚛📦
