And while we're at it; for all those writing applications; and for those adults who don't know any better; DON'T use the word "Anyways". That is wrong and does not exist. As such, the word is "ANYWAY"; WITHOUT the "S" at the end. It is usually used at the beginning of a sentence to imply a continuation of thought. I.e. "Anyway, if you get a chance, take a look at that book". Or, it's commonly used at the end of a sentence to imply "whatever" or "In any case". I.e "Well, she isn't that good looking anyway."
The word is "Anyway" NOT "ANYWAYS". I don't care if it's slang, ebonics, urban, or anything else. And yes, you will find it even in some dictionaries. But it is not proper English. And the academy, employers, colleges, etc... recognize these things. Remember, you're applying to an Ivy League caliber university. Don't display your ignorance. Especially when you are interviewed by your ALO or member of congress. Chances are, they are at least your parent's age. Possibly your grand parent's age. As such, they DEFINITELY know the proper use of the word.
I taught a college class called "Performance and the Media". My students were actors, models, public speakers, politicians, etc... It was designed to teach people how to conduct themselves with different types of public speaking, such as interviews. Some are job interviews, news reporters asking politicians questions, models going for Miss USA pageants, and so on. Using proper english is very important. And when speaking; diction, enunciation, and pronunciation will NEVER be excused. Don't use slang. If you've got a strong north-east accent, learn to curb it. "I was born and raised in New Jersey and know how people react to that". I've neutralized it over the years. If you're from an urban environment, don't use street talk. Don't use "ax" in place of "ASK", as in "Can I ax you something?"
Put in the written form, many people tend to use the word "ANYWAYS". Stay away from it. Some may want to debate it. I won't do that. The word is wrong. You can use it in public all you want. But if you care about speaking and writing correctly; especially for the most important "Job Interview" in your life; I suggest using proper English. That doesn't mean you have to use $10,000 words. Just use the correct words; and their proper pronunciation.
