I am back! And I will never have a high school class again.

Posted by Sam Jackson as College

Sorry for my absence, everyone–I was just trying to drain the last dregs of my high school experience, relishing time spent with my bestest friends at Exeter. I’m currently on Spring Break for two weeks and will be going to Washington D.C. on the 25th of march to start my spring trimester internship in Senator John Kerry’s office. Should be lots and lots of fun. I’m excited about the opportunities for personal growth and free lobbyist food. I will be trying to get back into the blogging groove of things over break, though I don’t quite know what will happen while I am in Washington.

So, stay posted!

Lucky you, to be done with high school classes! Ten more weeks here. Uch.

But don’t expect that much free lobbyist food. I don’t know how much you follow the changes in lobbyist rules, but we Washingtonians are rather obsessed with our lobbyists. The rules have recently changed so that the lobbyists can’t technically buy meals for the members of Congress anymore- instead, they’re making campaign donations that get them tickets to events, where they can get the same face time they used to get. It’s all a little bit ridiculous. But best of luck with your internship!

Who is Sam Jackson?

I'm currently a sophomore at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale, and am an official Yale blogger. Click here to read my 'about' page.

Kind words about my blog:

Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.”

Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice”

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”

Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”

and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
