<p>I was accepted EA.</p>
<p>LONG ESSAY: Submitted a painting I’d done of my best friend and wrote about the way art can evoke depth without being physically deep. It was much corny admissions essay love, but it was a little unusual, I guess.
ACTIVITY ESSAY: Poetry club.
INTELLECTUAL THING: Transcendentalism…how Thoreau’s a twit but I kind of love him anyway.
ROOMMATE: A spontaneous trip to Chicago.</p>
<p>I guess essays work best when they’re really about you. So it’s only a copout if you’re like, YES, STANDARD EPIPHANY and STANFORD share like 4 letters! I’ll do THAT! On the other hand, I would never write about learning to thread a needle the way my home ec teacher does or how the color of a giraffe pretty much represents life, because that’s not me either.</p>
