What I Should Write for College Essays

Hokay, so I'm hoping my blog will get me in the writing-about-myself-and-how-college-worthy-I-am-mood.
SOOO. What should I write my common app essay about? Here are the options, as I try to think through them.

Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.

Well, I've never climbed a roof if that's what you're lookin for. Can't remember the last time I faced an ethical dilemma...what are my significant experiences?? Do I even have any??? Oh man.

Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
Immigration? The intense connections yet lack of understanding in our modern world?? Racism?? The importance of spell check at 1:28 am??


Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.
Samuel L. Jackson. He taught me how to be a badassmuthafuka. Essay done.


Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.
Whoever invented chocolate milk. Apparently some dude named Daniel Peter in 1875. Yeah, I'd say that's a hell of an influence.


A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you.
You mean talk about how awesome I am? Ughh.


Topic of your choice.
Eff that. FINE! I wanna make an essay all about reverse transcriptase and how, like the cool lil virus, I will use my past experiences to infect and enrich my college community! Ohh man I wanna do that. Then I can use biology terms to make myself sound smarter than I actually am. YAY :D

I'm probably not gonna go with that idea, but I'll write a paragraph about it and take two good sentences from it :D

I love Germans and their fun techno.

This Summer

Now before I start my common app work for the night, I feel like blogging again. And a topic I would like to address is this summer. The weird thing about this summer is "schedules". It's the kinda thing where I'll call up someone and be like "Hey! When do you wanna hang? Free today?" And the conversation goes something like "Oh no I have (work/practice/some other time commitment) does (blank) day work for you?" "Ahh no I have (another commitment) that day. What about...." and so on and so forth. Now we've been workin around schedules all junior year, ya know? This is nothin new. But the reason it SUCKS so much this summer, is that this is how life is gonna be now. It'll be even worse once all my friends and I go to college. And who knows about next summer! Unless everyone I know and love decides not to get a job (extremely unlikely), not take summer classes (even more unlikely, considering the tendencies of alot of people I know), and not leave on family vacations, next summer will be even more difficult to navigate though. Like, frick. I mean we've made the best of it. It has been a good summer, but the reality is last summer was mind blowingly awesome and this one was decent. Ehhhhhhhh I sound like a whiny teenager. I'm lucky to have a summer and time and all that. But I won't get another high school =/

Regardless of all this, today was a decent day. Woke up at 1, bought school stuff, went to work, went over to Rahul's and watched half of Toy Story 3 (:DDDDDDDDDDD)

Dear 11:11 wish that I missed,
Please add 6 more weeks to the summer, that'd be fine.
Amen <3
