to myself:
smile a bit more in school will you?
people aren’t out to get you. saying hi to them in the hallways instead of avoiding their glances will go a long way.
don’t sleep in school. quit staying up so late.
apply to more matches.
actually research schools that you might like and that might fit your major, instead of being so set to going to an ivy league. it will honestly serve you better in the end, and you won’t have any regrets.
ask someone to read your essays. they’ll be glad to help. why are you afraid of their opinions? your essays aren’t silly! quit worrying about the quality and about whether you are being annoying. you’re just a kid. they will not judge you.
please stop avoiding things. it’s only going to make it worse. you’ll feel a lot better once you start working, i promise.
