OMG why do all of these kids have panic attacks about Bs? This “I need to be perfect” attitude is really ****ing me off. Bs are STILL good!

Take me for example. I’ve gotten into Purdue, UIUC, and TAMU with B+ type grades. Get over it! You want to know when you got problems? When you have to fight tooth and nail to scrape a C… thats when your struggling. Having a couple Bs on your transcript is NOT A FREAKING DOWNFALL!

And back to the topic… writing about your insomnia would definitely be a positive on your essays. Its not like your grades need defending, because they are stellar, but it is a topic that exemplifies hard work and a topic that you should have a very close relationship/feel with (so you will write it well and with heart).

Stop your fretting and continue your hard work. Your doing outstanding. I tip my hat off to you because here I am complaining to my mom about 5 hours a night. Part of the reason I get so mad about people with all As is that I envy you. I wish I had that ability to succeed. So I’m sorry if that came across as rude…
