I'm applying for these scholarships and they all have this section where it's like, include links about yourself if there are articles about you. And I'm like, the fuck? How the hell do you have an article written about you? That's so crazy. So I'm like, OK, how do I get a journalist to write an article about me? And I use this thing called Rocket Reach. You can find anyone's email.

Anyway, so I'm emailing all these journalists. Obviously, they're like, who is this psychotic 19-year-old trying to pitch herself? She's so embarrassing. I was so embarrassing. So I'm like, OK, this isn't working. I need another way. I go on Twitter and go look at these journalists. And by the grace of God, I see this one journalist. And she posts this thing that's like, hashtag journal request.

We would love to extend you an invite to apply for a scholarship. And I'm like, this cannot be real. And I apply and I got the scholarship. And it was all because of this fucking journal request hack.
