<p>It would be amazing if you can possibly chance me as I honestly have no idea about this whole college thing haha my grades really suffered this year (I know that this year was supposed to make or break your college app), but my friend died in a car accident last October, which really affected me. It was only in second semester when I realized that I was being stupid for letting myself go and barely managed to pick up my grades.</p>
