Top Blog Posts of 2015 by Erick P. '17

2015 has had its ups and downs for pretty much everyone on planet earth. From little victories to large setbacks, everybody’s gone through something. As we move onto 2016, I like to think about what in my own life the past year went well, what didn’t go well, and what I could’ve done better. But, as much as we can learn from ourselves, I believe we can also learn a lot from each other.

The MIT Admissions bloggers are but a small sliver of the voices at MIT, and yet we capture many of the experiences, hardships, accomplishments, and adversity that can occur inside and outside of campus and college. The following is an unordered list of some of our top and most widely viewed blog posts of 2015. Within them you’ll find the achievements, setbacks, laughs, cries, revelations, and advice of not just the current bloggers but from their friends, family, and the people around them.
