For funsies: my phone's custom autocorrect...
I decided on a whim that I should post all the things in my autocorrect dictionary that I’d added myself, since it’d give a pretty good feel of my vocabulary, what I say casually, stuff like that.

Anonymous asked: I am from Cypress, a suburb of Houston and NO ONE knows what I'm talking about when I say where I'm applying (Reed, Willamette, Kenyon, ect.), because of this I cant help but wonder how much of an advantage I might hold, being both Hispanic and from Texas.
