介绍迷你回忆录

我开始工作的一系列小型回忆录 — 短, 〜我个人的经验，250字的回忆. 我目前正在写关于我的经验与种族和种族在大学, 但我可能会另辟蹊径，在未来.

这些迷你回忆录是从我平时的随笔长和故事相当的变化. 这使得他们挑战，因为我必须提炼一切我想成为一个几百字, 一些不留下多少余地题外话或故事或人物发展. 但是，这也让我去探索更多的主题和经验比我平时去, 它让我从黑暗的汤是这个世界隔离的想法. 他们也是不一样的体验，为读者, 我想像: 你可以更容易地消化他们，因为他们是如此的短而直, 但他们更具挑战性，使因为有较少的解释意义.

我起草了关于 50 思路; 我那些缩小到十几, 我将公布我清理它们. 检查出我到目前为止公布的迷你回忆录. 希望你喜欢.

Hi. My name’s Neel. I’m nineteen and I go to Harvard. I like technology and baseball and skateboarding and talking to people.

I just finished my freshman year and agreed with my friend Sara that I’ll write something every week this summer. I took a freshman-only seminar where I wrote an 18-page-long short story (it was supposed to be 4 pages), and through that I discovered that writing is an incredible way to discover something about yourself and start conversations with people about what you’re feeling, things that are really hard to do otherwise. So I thought it’d be great to write some essays and reflections and short stories and publish them here.
I’m interested in exploring these concepts:

  • Identity: what determines who we are, and how much should we let things define us?
  • Ethnicity: how does it shape your identity, your interactions with others, and your mindset?
  • Relationships: how do they work, especially in the context of college?
  • America: what does it mean to be American, and what’s unique about this American life?
  • People: what makes people tick, and how do they grow over time?
