介紹迷你回憶錄

我開始工作的一系列小型回憶錄 — 短, 〜我個人的經驗，250字的回憶. 我目前正在寫關於我的經驗與種族和種族在大學, 但我可能會另闢蹊徑，在未來.

這些迷你回憶錄是從我平時的隨筆長和故事相當的變化. 這使得他們挑戰，因為我必須提煉一切我想成為一個幾百字, 一些不留下多少餘地題外話或故事或人物發展. 但是，這也讓我去探索更多的主題和經驗比我平時去, 它讓我從黑暗的湯是這個世界隔離的想法. 他們也是不一樣的體驗，為讀者, 我想像: 你可以更容易地消化他們，因為他們是如此的短而直, 但他們更具挑戰性，使因為有較少的解釋意義.

我起草了關於 50 思路; 我那些縮小到十幾, 我將公佈我清理它們. 檢查出我到目前為止公佈的迷你回憶錄. 希望你喜歡.

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?
