<p>An essay isn’t supposed to be anything in particular. Just write it and have people tell you if it’s good or not. :)</p>
<p>Random comment: the font my essay is in changes my perception of how good it is. Rounder font = better essay. I don’t even know.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was xD.</p>
<p>No, not necessarily. What I meant by that was, sometimes people write their essays with a certain mindset that isn’t conducive for writing the personal statement (for instance, like they’re writing an academic paper), but if they try to approach it more informally, as though they’re telling a story or just participating in a casual conversation, it helps. But that doesn’t seem to be your problem, so never mind, haha. Your topic sounds interesting, though; I’m sure that it’ll be an amazing read.</p>
<p>Quidditch: My essay is about suicide (I haven’t attempted). Not the most positive topic.</p>
<p><— Hasn’t even chosen CA topic.</p>
<p>What if we could just have someone video record our whole life and send in the best parts to colleges? Meh… College essays are like a huge weight on my shoulders right now.</p>
<p>^ I don’t want someone recording me when I use tissues. I always make a weird face.</p>
<p>@88keys: That would be pretty rad, lol. Do all of your colleges have supps.? I think that only half of mine do.</p>
<p>@Repede: But weird faces are the most worthwhile…</p>
<p>All but one for me. But I’m applying to 2 that don’t use the Common App.</p>
<p>This is my 2 cents. I think it’s best to just type whatever you are feeling and not worry about word choice, grammar, and coherence. Just type. Then find somebody whose opinion you trust and value and then have a 30 minute conversation about your essay. Just talk. When you talk about the content of your essay there’s a good chance you might say something that is great enough to put in the essay. Having a conversation really stimulates your mind and gets you thinking about what you are trying to say. The the person you’re talking to can recommend ways to express the topics you just discussed with them. Just my advice and personal experience. </p>
<p>Anybody watch Teen Wolf?</p>
<p>I like the scene at the end of the movie where the guy whips out his phallus on the bleachers.</p>
<p>I’ve heard of Teen Wolf before but idk what it’s about.</p>
<p>It’s an MTV show. It’s basically about a teenager who’s also a wolf. It sounds kinda of boring, but it’s actually really interesting.</p>
<p>So Twilight without Kristen Stewart?</p>
<p>^ Not even remotely comparable.</p>
<p>Sounds like Twilight without Kristen Stewart from your description. Oh, duh, and without Mr. Sparkles.</p>
<p>^ So… Twilight without the two main characters =P</p>
<p>I’ve seen like three episodes of teen wolf, it seemed good haha.
I kind of miss when everyone actually liked twilight, btw… the good old days (not that I like it anymore either though)</p>
<p>@Repede Still no lol.</p>
<p>i just started rewatching the first season of Legend of Korra. never watched Teen Wolf.</p>
<p>I love Legend of Korra. I love Avatar in general though.</p>
<p>Could someone please help my post in college confidential cafe titled please help with college trip? Thank you</p>
