a letter · from the girls who got here first
hi,wizzmo.
you just said yes. before anyone tells you what to do or hands you a dashboard, we wanted to say it back.
we know you have eight things due this week and a roommate situation and a guy you're not sure about and a lot of opinions about what your generation is doing to itself. that's exactly why we wrote you.
✦ what you actually said yes to
you didn't sign up for a side hustle. you signed up for a sisterhood with a job to do.
somewhere on your campus this week, a guy you've never met is going to spend three hours talking to a character.ai girlfriend. and a girl in your hall is going to fall asleep next to her phone, halfway in love with someone who isn't real.
they didn't ask for that. they have the same longing for love that you do — tech just routed it into a slot machine, and now nobody knows how to find their way back.
you’re the way back.
not in a cheesy way. in a real way. the guy on the other end of the question doesn't need a chatbot — he needs a girl on his campus who'll actually answer. the girl who feels invisible doesn't need an algorithm — she needs someone who'll set her up with a real person and meet her at the party.
that's it. that's the whole thing. you don't need to be perfect at it. you just have to be here, and real, and willing.
every guy you write back to walks a little further from the chatbot. every match you pick is one more night a real person actually happens. that's the trade we're making with the world. we're so glad you're in.
✦ your sisters
the girls who got here first.
they were nervous on day one too. they're rooting for you. you'll meet them in the group chat and at the next reveal night.
🌱
you might be the first one at your school.
that's heavy and it's beautiful. the next girl who fills out this form is going to see your face and know it's possible. you set the tone for the whole campus.
✦ what your week actually looks like
you'll do this in the gaps. between classes.
it's not a job. it's a few minutes a day, a couple parties a semester, and a chat with the other wizzmos when something funny happens.
monday — a question lands
a guy you've never met asks something anonymous. you write back like you would to your little brother. he says thank you. you go to chem.
wednesday — you read the quiz
15 guys have filled out 20 questions. you scan them like you're reading their group chat with their mom. you already know who fits.
thursday — you pick the match by hand
the algorithm makes a suggestion. you ignore it because you've actually met the girl. takes 3 minutes. costs nothing. changes a night.
friday — reveal night
you're at the door. you walk her over to him. you hug your sisters. you're the reason this is happening.
saturday morning — the check-in
you text both of them. she sends a screenshot of his "i had so much fun last night" text. you scream. you tell the group chat.
saturday · 9:14am
this is the part you can't fake.
🌹
this work is dedicated to our lady of victory and st. joseph. you don't have to be catholic to be a wizzmo — but human emotion is sacred to us, and we don't think it belongs to a chatbot.
✦ while we read your application
don't do anything. just be glad you said yes.
we'll text the email you gave us within 24 hours. when you're in, we'll send you the playbook, add you to the group chat, and walk you through your first question together.
— reagan + the wizzmos
