Essay aspirations

<p>Why does everyone think they write a “Great Essay” when in all honestly most peoples aren’t that good?</p>

<p>Where do you see people who say they wrote a great essay?</p>

<p>^In just about any Chances thread :rolleyes:!</p>

<p>Well, if they said they wrote a bad essay people would latch onto that and say “well, write a good one” instead of saying anything useful. Probably the great essay is something they hope will happen in the future…people make chances threads with all kinds of “prospective” stats.
More generally, people almost always think they’re better writers than they are. (Why would someone write down a sentence they thought was bad?)</p>

<p>Things that everyone thinks they’re great at, even when they’re not:</p>

<p>Sex
Poker
Sex
Driving
Sex
Grilling/BBQ
Sex
Photography
Sex
Fashion Sense
Sex
Writing College Essays</p>

<p>^I’m glad someone has a sense of humor about this :)!</p>

<p>I don’t know how to take that lol</p>

<p>You need more “life experience” to really appreciate it. But keep it in mind as you accumulate it.</p>

<p>Then thanks I guess!</p>
