An appreciation post for @nogatenzin : I only met Noga a little over a week ago from a LinkedIn post (lmao), and I had a feeling we were going to get along given our shared interests in content creation, but I didn’t expect to connect so well, and I’m excited to continue our friendship at Cornell.

1. Our first conversation was three hours long at a bagel shop. I’m not sure about her experiences, but I honestly haven’t had that engaging of a conversation in many months.

2. I’m coming off of a gap year or two at Cornell because I crashed and burned. I have almost no friends there. But she single-handedly restored my faith that I can make friends again. I think I’ve found a friend in her.

4. One of the things we talked about was authenticity and genuine connection. At my school, the norm is to act like you’re working really hard and have your shit together.

5. When I mentioned I was scared to talk about changing majors and my time away, she said “that’s okay. People are looking for something real.” And it’s so true in life.

6. We’re social animals. We need to be around people we care about and who care about us in return. That’s why I appreciated my time away at California with my SF Bay Area friends. And that’s why I’m excited to hang out with noga more.

7. I’m so grateful she introduced me to Farcaster. This amazing community here is unlike anything I’ve ever had online before. All because of her.
