It’s finally my turn to go completely insane over this unnecessarily stressful process of getting into colleges. I have my eyes set on acceptance into Stanford, but since no matter how qualified you are, it’s pretty hard to get into one of these “highly-selective” colleges, I will have to do my darnedest to get a fighting chance.
Of course, it is often said that the application essay is quite possibly the most stressful thing to right about, since nobody knows how to quite write it. My college counselor tells me that it defies every single rule that the school has taught me up to now about formal writing, so it was especially hard to see my first draft turned to scrap because it didn’t defy every single rule of formal writing. Second draft on, I settled on a topic about BSoD’s, because I thought it was unique and had a little “human feeling,” not one of those mechanical essays.
I just can’t wait to be done with this process. After Thanksgiving, most of the pressure will be off, and “Sernioritis” (definition: a psychological disease that often ails seniors because they are done with all schoolwork that will affect their college admittance) will hit. Of course, I don’t think I’ll let myself fail classes, but it will be a good mental break.
