Can you help me CUT?

I have about 5 different essays completed and about 8 more underway. In the end, I'm going to pick 2 or 3 of those 13 for each of my schools. I'm trying to take it one step at a time.

So, for starters.
My Common App "elaborate on an EC" short answer. It says 150 or fewer and I like mine (well, it's probably horrible) and I have tried so hard to cut it down but it resides at the plateau of 221. Could anybody help me cut it down? I don't need to get under 150 (I'm submitting on paper so the Common App's online restraints won't hurt me) but I think I might need to get it down SOME. Do I?
