Essay was about existential angst and public nudity.

Almost certainly going to New College, as my other first choices offered pretty much nothing in financial aid. 2 divorced parents in bankruptcy (can't take out loans), a retired step-dad with cancer-related medical bills, $14000 assessment on a house we're moving out of, my mom's losing her job, and we're expected to pay $31,000 a year out of pocket. Not exactly upper class income either (high school teacher and prison investigator). What??? Thank god for the PSAT.
