Okay, so remember when I was all gung ho and I was like “yeah guys this is it!!!! I’m getting college essays out, 1 per day for 30 days!!!!”
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
So I wrote ONE essay (and not even a good relevant essay haha) and took a turn right into the wall that is writers block. Really, top notch timing as a senior in the month (by which I mean week and a half) before early applications are due.
So I came back here, where I always wind up when I’m super clogged and haven’t the slightest idea what to do.
It’s 1:14 in the morning. I’m going to just write until I fall asleep. I’m going to write stories, poems, whatever I got to get my noggin movin’ again because oh my god this is literally the worst WHO AM IIIIIIII (@jean valjean pls help)
But before that I’m going to come up with a plan, to try and limit the amount of further fuck ups in my path, because they are as countless as the cracks in said path.
So, I have between now and virtually the 27th of October, because I want to make the November 1st deadline for most of my colleges and I have work from like the 28th, to the 1st which is just fab. That’s eight days. Between now and Saturday, I want my common app essay done. That gives me three days, but I’m going to get a bunch of first drafts ready by Friday, so I can show them to someone for their opinions, to choose the best of them. Then, Saturday, I’m going to make final edits to the essay, and put it da hell into dat app!1!111
Then, I’m going to dedicate three hours of Sunday to filling in sections of the common app, and the rest of the day writing up my supplementals. Then Monday, I’m going to ask the same person (honestly, they’re easily the best teacher I’ve ever had, god bless) if she’d be willing to review them. And then Monday, I’m going to put those in as well. Now theoretically, by this point I’d be ready to send them in but I’m a fucking mess honestly.
Now this is hella cheesy but I should probably make some commitments here.
Okay #1. I’m not going to go easy on myself. I do this thing where I’m like “oh shit there goes the time welp thats done” NOOOOOOOO. It sucks haha. I’m going to hold myself accountable to getting this shit done.
#2. I’m not going to get overwhelmed by all the shit I have flying around right now, because that’s another thing I have a tendency to do. I’m going to stay on top of it all.
Alternative plan in case plan one doesnt work out:
-Just write nonstop between now and Sunday morning at 8am, so that I have all of saturday to write.
-Use sunday to get my supplementals written.
-Give them to said awesome teacher on Monday. Spend monday evening just kind of filling in all of common app
-By this point it’s the 24th, so I should be in tip top shape.
Also can I just say this itself is over 530 words, the hell cant the common app essay be that easy to knock out. Goddamn it.
