<p>Tell you what: Try writing about your ECs when you can’t come up with anything and do it in a way that fits the topic. You’d be surprised to find that ECs can fit just about any topic!</p>
<p>Pixie, your relationship with your grandpa sounds so much like mine. I love my grandparents, probably more than my parents. I always tell them to wake me up, and they try but never succeed because I love my bed too much in the morning.
Ok so I write this essay in response to Wellesley’s supplement. I was pretty happy with it too. Then I go on the Common App and I read the question again and realize it says-“In two well developed paragraphs…”. There goes my feeling of self satisfaction.
WHY colleges WHY?</p>
<p>Meghna-Quick tip, focus on a specific event or memory or whatever. Don’t try to fit too many things in a 500 word essay. Adcoms are looking for a developed thesis, not something that’s all over the place. The more concise your argument is, the better it will be.</p>
<p>^I totally feel you. My most favourite person in the world is my grandfather and unfortunately he knows it too. So if anyone in the family wants me to do something, they send him. 
What, did you write more than two paras? Is it possible that currently I feel like going to Wellesley more than any other place? Or even Smith? Suddenly I feel like being a part of the sisterhood very much. The Smith seminar left a bigger impression than I realized. Oh bdw, why aren’t you doing smith?
Annndd, shouldn’t you be studying? <em>frowns and wags finger at arunemo before remembering she herself is supposed to be doing SAT</em></p>
<p>
My problem is talking in a fully awake tone everytime they try which gives a false impression that I’m awake. It’s surprising because I was quite an early riser. 5:30 am was no problem before. I’ll try getting it back to normal.</p>
<p>Hey I have a snow day today! So no school. I’m only here for a bit, and I did most of my studying for the Lit test tmrw. Just 3 practice papers left and I’ll be done.
Also, I’m deactivating Fb this weekend for 2 weeks. Don’t worry, I do get it back though by the 16th. I won’t lose all my stuff either, it’s just so I don’t get anymore notifications from anyone.</p>
<p>Ooh Nice! Seeing snow for the first time? I haven’t ever seen snow. Except for the time I went to the fake snow thingy they used to have at Appu Ghar remember? (Did you go in Delhi?) Before they broke appu ghar apart?
I wish they hadn’t broken appu ghar. Although it was like the least exciting amusement park, it was the oldest one so lotsa memories. 
Bhoot Bangla! Haha! 
Best of luck for your test!
I have to get back to studying!</p>
<p>Haha no it’s not my first time. Last year was my first time in 10 years though. Before Belgium, I lived in and traveled to countries that barely had winter or had no winter at all. So yea.
Snow is ok when it forces school to close. Otherwise it’s annoying as hell.
Good luck to you too! x</p>
<p>Ho Hum. Dhinchak dhinchak. </p>
<p>I feel particularly stupid today.
Oh well, as long as it doesn’t extend into tomorrow.</p>
<p>Let me try my hand at a poem.</p>
<p>Here comes the bride.
Big fat and wide.
Here comes the groom.
Very fat and slow.
Here comes her Brow
And it goes KA- BOOM!</p>
<p>Recite with higher pitch of voice with every line.
This is so much better than the music lyrics you guys keep posting.</p>
<p>I will giv one of my poems too…wait…</p>
<p>You can hear you say…
Then why?
Why don’t You hear
The screams I let out
Begging You to listen
Calling You to come
Hear my Heart, Hear my soul
Or is my voice so unnoticeable? So insignificant?</p>
<p>You can see, you say…
Then why?
Why don’t you see
How miserable I am,
That I am not as the others see me
But I am all what I am?
See my determination, see my love
Or is my sight so avoidable? So insignificant?</p>
<p>You can feel, you say…
Then why?
Why don’t you feel
The loneliness of my being
The heartbreak I have
The sadness I feel?
Feel my power, feel my warmth
Or are my feelings, so ignorable? so insignificant?</p>
<p>See me, hear me, feel me, acknowledge me
All I want is you to know me
See behind this facade, delve inside my heart
See me as me, Just for a start?</p>
<p>^_^</p>
<p>Pixie…best of luck for tomorrow…and guys…wish me luck…Lit. subject test tomorrow.</p>
<p>Arghh…I hav to wake up at 6 bloody a.m., get ready, then take metro from Dwarka to Karol Bagh…which takes over an hour! HOUR! God why do the SAT have to take place in mornings!!! AAARGHHHH!!</p>
<p>Hey Meggy Peggy (yes that’s you meghna; I just have a passion for twisting usernames, it’s one of the things that’ll make me an ‘asset’ at the college i am looking at) , nice poem!
Lol, mine was just a some gibberish that popped into my mind atm.</p>
<p>Best of luck for Lit; hope you come out alive tomorrow, it’s lethal!</p>
<p>Finally!
I feel less stupid now.
It’s progress.</p>
<p>I have to get up early tomorrow too: taking subject tests in math2, physics and WH. After that, I am over with testing.
Good luck Meghna</p>
<p><em>looks offended</em> What about me?
Where are my good luck wishes?
Now I’m not wishing you until you wish me. :p</p>
<p>Sorry perfectpixie. I did not realize you were taking a test as well. Is that the SAT or a subject test ?
All the world’s luck to you my friend!</p>
<p>^That’s a lot better. 
I’m taking reasoning. The stupidest test created.
Anyway, I’ll be done with all my testing tomorrow, only APs in May, so I’ll finally have time for my dance!
Best of luck to you too lucerverita! :)</p>
<p>TY luceverita…I need dat.</p>
<p>And I can imagine how lethal Lit subject tests are…I am not able to score more than 700 in samples from Kaplan. I have made preparation for my funeral T_T…</p>
<p>Hey…how much do u expect pixie…must b above 2200 huh?</p>
<p>I don’t expect anything since I don’t know what might come up. 
Vocab might do me in again.</p>
<p>Anyway, meghna, just go in there with a positive mindset. Last minute panic won’t do any good.
Oh, bdw, we might just catch sight of each other! :)</p>
