Vulnerability Collective: Untold stories, shared In today’s highly curated online world, we tend to only share our personal wins. It can seem like others have it easy, but this isn’t the case for many.

Thank you Justin and Leanne for helping get posters out today for the February 8th event! RSVP here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/anneb7/323537

Excited to announce that 'the big event', the read-aloud of The Vulnerability Collective will be on Wednesday, February 8th!

Copies of The Vulnerability Collective will be finished and we will be having a web-presence leading up to the event. For those of you who were interviewed and contributed stories last Winter and Spring, please be looking out for an email in the next few days regarding a bit more information needed from each of you.

Now's as good a time as ever to share a story of challenge, obstacle or struggle, as The Vulnerability Collective was granted $5000 to get into print through the inaugural Husky Seed Fund!

Your identity will remain anonymous, and your story has the power to help someone who might be feeling the same way as you once were. Additionally, The Vulnerability Collective team is looking to onboard writers/interviewers for Fall 2016. You could earn General Studies 391 credit or Honors 499 credit. Email [email protected] with any questions!

"Fall quarter of my freshman year was unexpectedly hard, but overall it was manageable - everything was new and everyone was having an identity crisis. But winter quarter was the worst. My roommate hated me from the moment she met me - and she was rude to my parents. I seriously looked into transferring, or moving home to the not-so-good community college near my parents’ house and working in a restaurant there. Looking back, I’m really not sure what stopped me from doing that. I remember being so unbearably unhappy."
