It's that time of year again: college decisions. Every spring, young academics choose which college or university will be the one — if they’ve been accepted by the admissions powers that be… On this week’s episode of Adult ISH, hosts Dom French and Nyge Turner sit down with Emi Nietfeld, author of “Acceptance,” to discuss the tumultuous process of mining personal trauma for college application essays, and navigating hope for acceptance.
