I think I was delusional while filling out that last college app. I hope it only makes it better. And bless them for making their app due on the 9th.
I also gave a nod to David Karp and Tumblr on the short-response.
The question was: If you could spend one day in New York City with a famous inventor, who would you like it to be, where would you go, and why?
I was like.. inventor? How would I know an inventor specifically from NYC? I didn’t even know people still claimed to be “inventors”.
And then, aha. Tumblr! New York! Right? Right? That means David Karp!
Here goes the 500-char. pseudo-essay.
As a young entrepreneur, I look up to startup founders who have had a similar drive to start early. NYC happens to be the home of talented young Tumblr CEO, 25-year-old David Karp. After launching in 2007, Tumblr has seen growth that now speaks to over 7 million visitors a WEEK.
As one of the earlier users, Tumblr has also changed my life on a personal level. The service has been a source and canvas for my creativity the past 3 years.
We would go absolutely nowhere because we both <3 NY.
Can you believe it? 500-char. right there. I told you, I was delusional while writing it.
