Excited abt the prompts!! I was sooo nervous beforehand because the only other verified topics I’d seen were the ones from reddit… I think the Rousseau/Savio one and the geocentricism one? and politics are always kinda hard for my brain lol 
Thoughts on the ‘Now I Become Myself’ prompt? I’m wondering if they’re asking for our interpretation of the poem, or what we believe in general? Or comparing the two?
Hope everyone’s essays are going well!! I was totally stressing over getting them done by the end of the month, because for some reason I’d completely forgot about September and October existing lol
Anyone know if it’s still possible to mail in essays/applications? I’ve been having computer troubles lately, and honestly by post might just be easier for me in the long run 
Is your username a reference to Heavenly’s predecessor group? I love Heavenly.
My computer keeps timing out whenever I use the form…
haha no, just my old animal jam username i can’t let go of :>
did you make an acc for the form? mine was doing the same thing until i signed up
Did we ever find out if @dracollavenore actually got accepted? I was rereading the old threads, and it seems like people just assumed they did because of their sudden radio silence
Oh I meant in response to the other poster here!
But cool username regardless.
I haven’t, lemme try that now, thanks 
yes it is! they’re one of my very favorite bands
Personally, i was approaching it from primarily focusing on my own view but touching on how that compares to the poem– but the DS prompts are always up for interpretation
I’m personally most excited for the AI prompt! I’ve been thinking about it nonstop… still not totally sure how i’ll respond though
Also, I’m wondering if there’s a Discord server for applicants this year? If not, I would be willing to set one up 
oh my bad lol, i’m not the best when it comes to technology |^.^
don’t think so! I think I’ve seen people in the past making them for the second round folks, but I’d totally join if one was created
Hi there! I would love to join if you made one
