<p>So it's 1 am in Boston and I'm trying to finish up my supplement essay, and by that I mean constantly refreshing the CC "latest posts" page and reading chance threads. I have to say, you guys are all amazing people, like look at you with your awesome ECs and you're from Zimbabwe and you wrote this great touching essay about your grandfather. You absolutely deserve to get in, like all of you, where ever you want to go. We've got a week guys for early applications, my friends are biting their nails, I'm pulling my hair out and eating it and having weird dreams because I have no idea what part of the country I'll be in a year from now, and I'm just picturing all the thousands of other kids doing the same exact thing and I wish you all really really good luck! People call us nuts for nitpicking over 10 points on the SAT and stressing out over 89s, but they don't get it. It's not that I'm a crazed overachiever really, it's that each number, every test, brings you that much closer or that much farther from where you dream of being for the next four years, the first years that are all yours, the first years of your adulthood. And that matters. I'm on my knees for UChicago, I'm drooling after all the posters they keep sending me (why are they sending so many posters?), I'm willing to go to the ends of the Earth... But I guess I kind of already have haven't I? I'm scared to death I filled something out wrong, missed a form, automatic rejection. For all the boys and girls feeling the same way, guys, we're all going nuts together, if that helps. We should all get into Harvard. Harvard should let us all in. I have to be at work at 7 tomorrow morning, I skipped school for the first time in three years yesterday to fill out the CSS profile and I have an AP Psych Cumulative test on Monday I haven't even started studying for yet plus all that make-up work, but I'm wide awake thinking about the class of 2014 across America and I just wanted to say I salute you all, I hope you all have amazing and fulfilling lives, I hope you all do what you were born to do. Now get now off of CC and do whatever it is you've still gotta do! ...Oh, and, uh, anybody wanna read my essay?</p>
<p>This was the greatest thing I have read to this date</p>
<p>If this is what your writing is like, you would do well at UChicago!</p>
<p>Lolz cause I feel the same too… I literally think I’ve gone insane from trying to get my essays in decent shape…</p>
