<p>Haven’t done anything productive yet. Should probably at least start on those common app essays. Or maybe visit a college, haven’t done that yet either.</p>
<p>On the other hand, procrastination has gotten me this far, why fix what ain’t broke?</p>
<p>Just took my history final. I think I actually pulled out a C. And my teacher told me that on my last DBQ, I had the best conceived argument!</p>
<p>Research internship and 2 dual enrollment classes start in 2 weeks. Wat r fun?</p>
<p>I’m actually going to be busy this summer… but for all the right reasons. I have a pet sitting job, a veterinary internship working four days a week, volunteering at the animal shelter, FFA, camp, college crap, and studying. Also the fact that we’re going to be seniors, is pretty exciting.</p>
<p>None of my schools have their essays up yet. :(</p>
<p>I’d rather just get them over with now than wait until later in the summer when my brain is completely out of academics mode.</p>
<p>I should probably start my Common App essay.</p>
<p>“Once upon a time…”</p>
<p>“Friends, Romans, countrymen…”</p>
<p>“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…”</p>
<p>“When I was a young warthog…”</p>
<p>“I deserve to go to collage because…”</p>
<p>I’m done with my CommonApp essay! My AP EngLang teacher had us write it as our final exam.</p>

<p>Can somebody explain to me what this “CommonApp Essay” is and its importance?</p>
<p>A lot of colleges accept the Common App, which is a standard application that you can fill out once and send to multiple places (though I believe some schools have special supplements to it that they want as well). It has an essay section which is what is being referred to.</p>

<p>Same. I finished my Common App essay about 2 weeks ago for my AP Lang final. Going to start working on my UChicago essay this week. I have a lot of absurd ideas that I hope UChicago Admissions officers would love to read about.</p>
<p>In theory I will start pretty early. BUT if you actually know me, you know that probably won’t happen.</p>
<p>Why are we on the third page? :-o</p>
<p>Jk, we’re actually busy. But yay, only 1 more week of finals and then I’m FREE!</p>
<p>When do supplements / applications come out on individual college’s websites? August-ish?</p>
<p>August 1 is what I’m hearing</p>
