College Apps

Stress. I constantly find myself being pulled towards my blog every time I have to start/edit a college essay. And frankly, the blog has been helping me so much: an outlet for frustration, a flashback into what's important and how far I've come, a place to write in "proper-admissions-essay-speak," etc. So here I am again, trying to gear myself up for editing my commonapp essay and start on some supplements. Sometimes I wish I could just submit my blog instead. It tells so much more without the "perfect bow tied around the essay telling why I am the perfect person/student." Throughout the application process, my biggest fears have been of not being true to myself, or writing what I think these college people want to read. Hence the increased number of posts lately... It keeps my real. It keeps me, me. So I'm off to write, hopefully not some mindless crap (although this is highly likely), more essays for college. 

Here's my finalized list of colleges> Rice, Duke, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, U of Notre Dame, Emory, and Pepperdine.
