So, I’ve been running into a wall for the past few weeks on what to write my common app/college essay on. I kept shuffling back and forth between two ideas. So I decided that I might as well write them both out and see how I like them…I had a more interesting idea (dishwashing) vs a less intriguing idea. I know. You’re thinking "Dishwashing?? " What? Yeah, I know.
I need someone to answer these questions:
Does an essay always have to explicitly allude to the future or what I plan to do?
Can I just talk about myself now and leave it at that?
Also, I need someone to look over an essay that needs to be in by Dec 1st. That’s barely a few days, I’m aware. I need fresh opinions and perspectives to help me out. Someone please answer. I’m getting more and more lost on what to do.
