Essays--what's the point?

<p>so, i'm a little freaking out. do i write all my essays (6 colleges total) really quickly now or make myself stress a lot before handing in the perfect essay? i know college reps always stress essays, but wouldn't they all start to sound the same after a while? this is pretty cynical, but i almost just don't see the point anymore.</p>

<p>thats the way ive been feeling lately....</p>
