<p>im having so much trouble with this essay. ive seriously been sitting here for two hours and i dont have a word. </p>
<p>any advice</p>
<p>Think about any experience that you've had that shows something about you: a trip you've taken, a risk you've taken, a mistake, a success, a failure, an attempt, a project, a paper, a poem you wrote, a piano you played, a life you saved, a gift you gave, moving, grooving, losing something, gaining something, a realization, a contemplation, something you've seen, someone you've been, something you cleaned, stealing, being stolen from, a debate, something you hated, something you baked, something at stake, a win, a loss, a horse, a course, a class, a dance, a climb, a fall.</p>
<p>Or you could write about how you stared a blank screen trying to write this goddamned roommate essay.</p>
<p>Hope that helped.</p>
<p>This is your chance to be informal, and tell something about yourself that can be funny or serious or different in any way that does not fit into any other part of your application. Have fun with it, as hard as it may sound...</p>
<p>Does it really have to be a personal experience in the sense that it is detailed and dramatic? Or can it be something really simple?</p>
<p>It can be anything you want. It just lets you show another side of your personality.</p>
<p>What if all of our essays are knid of downers.............lol. Well the intellectual idea isn't. But the rest is all about serious stuff that has happened to me.</p>
<p>That's probably fine, as long as you don't sound suicidal ;).</p>
<p>"What if all of our essays are knid of downers.............lol."</p>
<p>I certainly hope you aren't referring to your music essay :)</p>
<p>Hehe.......yeah my roommate essay has kind of the same tone</p>
<p>Abstract and lofty?</p>
<p>I'm not finished with mine yet, but it involves guys whipping themselves and buffalo.</p>
<p>lol what's your theme?</p>
<p>What don't you see from here?</p>
<p>It's about a couple scenes from my trip to the Philippines, and how my life (represented by the view from my car and window) would be different if my dad hadn't joined the US Navy...</p>
<p>"You know what else you don't see too often in Maryland? Buffalo."</p>
<p>Goldfish-
No, I meant more serious. What do you mean by lofty? Oh and I'll get to your essay soon if you still want. I've had such a hectic week.</p>

<p>Lofty means like elevated and noble, and I think your music essay is really like that. Oh yeah, you can take a look at my essays if you want to, but if you're too busy then it's ok if you don't want to.</p>
