Hey I'm Freaking Out

So I just sent out my app ED to Duke. Overall, I was really proud of the essays I had written. One problem: I didn't double space as required... I 1.5 spaced. Usually I laugh at people who freak out at such trivial mistakes, but going back and reading my essay now, I just think it sounds so much better when its double spaced (it somehow adds to the drama of my first essay especially). Somebody please reassure me that this is not gonna be a big deal...

Also, does anyone find that they read slower when its double spaced? My essay is meant to be kind of somber and should be read slowly, but I think the 1.5 spacing gives it a quicker pace. Again, somebody please talk some sense into me and tell me this isn't going to matter.

P.S. Current Duke Students: I would love to hear feedback on my Why Duke essay. PM me if you would like to read it. Thanks.
