<p>Me too, and I think that says something about how I view life in general. I don’t like endings.</p>

<p>That last sentence you wrote is practically a quote from Doctor Who. Are you a fan or is it a coincidence?</p>
<p>Must be a coincidence. I’ve never even seen it.</p>
<p>I’d wanna room with you guys! (probably, haha, I’d have to meet you first) I’m kinda looking forward to having a roommate even though it’ll be hard to never really get to be alone. I’m gonna have to make myself better at cleaning up my stuff too, haha. But I hope I have a good relationship/friendship with my roommate… I feel like it’d be weird to not be friends.
Is it bad to be undecided for my major? I’m thinking of doing a double major in art and bio or math or psychology… but idk…</p>
<p>I’ve had a roommate for different things three times. </p>
<p>The first time, it was mildly awkward because it was someone I was beginning to not be friends with. It is pretty awkward when you’re not friends. </p>
<p>The second time, we were friends and it worked out pretty well. </p>
<p>The third time, which I just got back from, we were friends but not that close because we had a lot of different activities. It was pretty good. </p>
<p>I’m kind of undecided on my major right now also. I think I’m interested in neuroscience with computation aspects the most. But there’s also bioinformatics and math that I’m interested in majoring in. It’s just complicated. :/</p>
<p>@LoveArt, there’s nothing wrong being undecided, most people don’t know what they want to do, you’re fine. It just takes time.</p>
<p>@Quidditchcat I just recently got into neuroscience. It’s actually my projected major for Ohio State with a pre-veterinary concentration. It was going to be microbiology because of the lab time, but the brain always fascinated me.</p>
<p>Yeah, the brain is awesome. Some schools have different tracks within neuroscience which is what I’m looking at.</p>
<p>My common app essay is done. And by done, I mean it’s final. Just spent three hours perfecting it with my mentors. It’s really good. Very concise. Kind of creative and definitely unique. I think this essay will not have a hard time standing out. Now it’s time to work with them to finish my UChicago essay. Ahh, it feels so good to have this part completed. </p>
<p>On the down side, I’m getting sick and it sucks. Currently have a huge headache, partly from the essay, but still… :(</p>
<p>Awesome that you have your common app essay done! </p>
<p>It sucks to be sick though. This is like the first summer in like 10 years that I haven’t gotten sick. Last year it was mono and it sucked. Couldn’t/didn’t do much all summer.</p>
<p>I’m thinking psych/neuro/cog. Sci. But I also am thinking about music, English, computer science… Mehhh…</p>
<p>My essay has been done since July, but I’m now wondering if I should take some time and work on it again…</p>
<p>Once I’m done with an essay, I can’t go back. If I go back to read it, I’ll end up doing the whole thing over again.</p>
<p>I wish I had my essay done! I just spent a while looking at all the supplement stuff I have to do and brainstorming. But my common app essay… ugh.
I think neuroscience sounds so interesting!! But I don’t really know enough about it to say I’m going to major in it. I should get learning about that, haha. Psych/neuro/cog sounds really cool.</p>
<p>I wrote an essay and I freaking hate it. I don’t know how to communicate at all.</p>
<p>SAME ~!, I have trouble getting my ideas across sometimes, it sucks.</p>
<p>Are you writing it in the mindset of I’m-Writing-an-Essay or of I’m-Telling-a-Story?</p>
<p>I can only write at certain times. I go through phases where I can write well and phases where I can’t. I wrote several of my essays at the beginning of the summer and everything’s gone pretty well, but I have a couple more to write and my brain doesn’t work anymore. I know what I want to say most of the time, but I don’t know how to put it into words.</p>
<p>I’ve written two essays. The first one was read by my teacher and she said it was really good, but I don’t know… It’s just that the story wasn’t that CRAZY unique.</p>
<p>I go through writing those phases, too. But I did manage to get the USC + engineering writing supplement done within an hour of adding it to my commonapp today. I just wish the other supplements on my list were as easy as writing 4 easy short-answer essays and a few one-line personal questions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Idk if you’re talking to me, but I’m trying to tell a story that’s about my struggle with understanding my religion and my culture. It just didn’t happen neatly - i.e., there were a lot of things that go into it and I can’t figure out how to say it. </p>
<p>Are essays supposed to be one clear anecdote? Because I don’t think I can tell my story like that.</p>
<p>I keep thinking my essay isn’t optimistic enough (it’s already a challenge enough to be optimistic at all) so I keep scrapping it. It’ll never be good in my eyes. I’ll probably end up submitting the nth essay right before the first deadline and go with that.</p>
