<p>Ok...I've drafted my long essay and my roommate essay, and I've read them over so many times that they both seem really crappy/maudlin to me, which is quite depressing. The thing is, I'm fairly idealistic, and that shows in my essays, but I don't want to appear naive or cliche...so it's a hard balance to strike. Anyway, would anyone read them and let me know what you think? They're both pretty rough/about 50-100 words too long, but I just want to know what you think about the ideas/the way I presented them. Thank you so much for any feedback.</p>

<p>I thought you did a good job on your essays except I think it might be a bit too verbose. I don't know how application essays are suppose to sound like. I thought the essay to roommate should be informal and light. but that's just me.
Anyone else write their essay like this one or in a more casual, informal way?
I'm writing my essay as if I'm telling a story, using not many big words. </p>

<p>also, try to reflect a little bit more about yourself with the long essay</p>
