<p>Yes. It's true. I HATE word limits. Since most of my colleges all have the same (or close to same) essay, I decided to sit down and write it the other day as it might be a good idea to to that sometime soon as most of my apps are due in December.</p>
<p>Anywho, I noticed that the word limit on most was 500. I am not a condense writer; in my junior year, I spent 14 hours writing a 16-page paper on a book I never even read and still managed an A+. When I was writing my essay, I just couldn't stop. I eventually hit 770 words. I revised it and rewrote parts of it to get it down to 624 and then re-revised it and it's now at 556. I have no idea how I'm going to cut out 56 words from my essay; it's harder than you think.</p>
<p>On a similar note, my essay is on the National Student Leadership Conference which I attended last summer. Is this an okay topic? I'm a pretty dull person so it was the only thing I could come up with :/. </p>
<p>If you made it through this post, please reply soon and thanks :). Peace out.</p>
