I did a lot of things to help me cope with College applications.
I live in LA so I would go to the beach with friends like every week or so.
Read a book a week (and still do to this day, it’s a great way to get creative)
Go to parties
I also did get high sometimes when doing my UC essays because I turn into a great writer.
(catch me in UC Irvine in the fall lol)
Relax, make a schedule.
