my new bullet journal for 2017 :) i’m honestly so unhealthily obsessed with star wars and rogue one i do not know what to do

[studynowsandee]

7.30.17 - It’s been a while since the last time I actually studied on my desk. For the past months, I’ve been studying at coffee shops because I get easily distracted when I’m at home. I need to be comfortable on my desk again.

🌻 August 18th  🌻 - my bujo; 9 more days of summer 

wowoowo it’s been awhile since I’ve done a spread (probably going to be another long while until i decide to do another one ahaha); although I really like using bujos, it’s really time-consuming (esp. for someone who’s a hardcore perfectionist cry). ANyways I have all my summer assignments completed woo!

those different essays that keep popping up tips

the “why you wanna come here” essay

mention a department you really like, a professor you really like, a lab you really like, a program you really like

sometimes aspects of the school like an extensive research program, an internship program, an interesting major, a school philosophy will stand out (for instance, one school i applied to prided itself on balancing the humanities with STEM, which was a big focus in my essay)

talk about your experience when you visited or how you heard about the school and all the good things

any articles you read on it will help, basically just research a lot, talk about your interview (if applicable), talk about their programs and unique points

it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk about your interests (briefly) and why that school is uniquely good for you

the “what do you want to study” essay

again, mention a field, or if undecided, then talk about diverse interests

if you have a specific field, talk about your experiences (like for engineering, i talked about robotics and my internship and how that shaped my career path)

overcoming challenges, discovering new interests, creating connections with others, and becoming a leader are all good things to mention here if possible

if you don’t know what to study, thats totally ok, but talk about your different interests, maybe how you plan to proceed with finding a specific course of study, or talk about a program you’re interested in at the school

the “challenge” essay

this essay is a challenge

you really gotta come up with something pretty good or at least try to; try to find something that involves being a leader and taking action/responsibility or maybe going out of your comfort zone.

tell it like a story!! talk about the problem then how you resolved it (ideally it should be a challenge you resolved?? it could also be one that went unresolved but you have to be v careful in that case)

tl;dr show off your good aspects like leadership, keeping calm, trustworthiness, etc etc etc

the “talk about something you haven’t talked about essay

i usually used this one for any topic i wanted to talk about but didnt get the chance to

basically waht i mean is i had three main topics i wanted to hit in every application: my internship, my sport, my music. If i didn’t get a chance to talk about one through an essay, I’d use my talk about whatever essay to talk about it.

why is this double spaced

don’t waste this!!! this is a pretty good spot to show how you’re unique and tell a very “you” story to distinguish yourself from all the other applicants. 

but also you can def use like another essay you wrote for another prompt for another school here if you find it appropriate -always make sure to reuse topics and ideas when possible~~

anyways if you guys have any questions about essays or in general, hmu–im p stressed about my own essay anyways :/
