<p>Has anyone actually found themselves ENJOYING writing the essays?</p>
<p>I think I may be a masochist, but I find myself enjoying writing the essays; it's almost like a self-discovery procedure. Even if I don't get into the schools I want to, I reckon the essay-writing has made me realize who I was, who I am, and what I want to achieve in life.</p>
<p>That's the kind of crap the universities want to hear. Keep up the good work :)</p>
<p>Good for you, man. And yes, you are a masochist. Some of the essays are definitely more fun than others, though.</p>
<p>nope, never really liked writing especially about myself.</p>
<p>i hate writing. i am dreading all the essays i have to write. "why do you want to transfer to _____?"</p>
<p>How on-target should transfer essays be? There is so much I could write about myself, but I dunno what exactly to focus on, since I feel if I focus on a single thing I will not be doing myself justice.</p>
<p>I really got off to a good start to why my current school isn't a good match for me, but then I felt bad cause there were so many bad things and i guess I shouldnt focus on the bad aspects too much, and I dissed the school a lot :o oh well. I have yet to start the uchicago scarry ones, i bet some people have LOTS of fun with those, but i hated it last year :(</p>
<p>and just cause I care about you man (or woman), I agree to you writing a couple of essays for me. I'm too good to be true, i know.... :P</p>
<p>I think most of them are fun to write. I had to write one on the value of diversity and that one was rather annoying because what can you say? Uh - diversity is important! It opens your eyes! I tried to make it un-cliche and it came out fine but was it ever an unexciting topic to write about.</p>
<p>I was also feeling masochistic, but no longer :).</p>
<p>yes i feel the same way. at first, i thought writing the essays would be a hassle and very time consuming.
BUT.. while i wrote my penn essay and wrote about the past couple years, i'm really glad i got the opportunity to just envision myself and what kind of person i grew to be so far.</p>
<p>ill agree with jl_visionz. i have been putting off these damn essays for months and i am finally getting started. this nyu essay is coming along nicely although i had trouble in the beginning because i havent written a real paper on a couple of months but its all comin' back to me. all i need is some music from di.fm and i am good to go like the taco bell guy.</p>
