<p>I'm just starting to write my college essays. 36 hours left, baby!</p>
<p>You must have amazing SATs and a great GPA.</p>
<p>Sometimes I wonder if it would have caused less agony if I’d done the same. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Lulz. I sort of did that EA. It was so bad. My friend needed me for an emergency on Nov 1st and it was the worst thing ever.</p>
<p>Thanks, leafblade. </p>
<p>I feel pretty stressed, not gonna lie. I do, however, feel confident my essays will be solid (partly because I’ll have my friend for an ‘‘emergency’’ on January first). haha.</p>
<p>Yes kitey, you did. You pwned my procrastination skills. Kudos.</p>
<p>QP - You’re following me from the Amherst thread to the HSL thread?!?!??!!? 
and I feel happy to say that I did pwn your procrastination skillz. 
I’m honored to say I did.</p>
<p>Pray that your procrastination leads to a spark of genius haha</p>
<p>^Sparks of genius are most common under stress :D</p>
<p>EXACTLY, leafblade! I’m totally diggin’ your logic. I ALWAYS do better under stress… I kid you guys not!</p>
<p>No I’m pretty sure I beat you. I wrote my essay in 6 hours. Submitted it at 11:56 on November 15.</p>
<p>^ Holy mackerel :eek:
But if that was just 1 essay, and kite has about 3-4 to write…she might still be in the running.</p>
<p>Lol, kiterunner do you have to write SIX essays?</p>

<p>Actually, I have to write 7…</p>
<p>(unless I find a way to recycle some)</p>
<p>I always do better under stress, but best when I write under stress and then have time to go back and tweak a few things here and there–switch some paragraphs, edit a few sentences. </p>
<p>I have no idea how I’ll fare in the whole ordeal next year. I think I’ll just apply to as many places EA as possible to split up my workload.</p>
<p>I think I’ll have time to edit stuff. I doubt it’ll be super hard. I’m going to stay up all night, though (and not go out tonight… tear tear).</p>
<p>It’s really not that bad. By six hours, I meant six hours in front of the computer. I already had an idea of what I had to write. I would like write a ****ty paragraph in like 5 minutes, then go on FB or AIM. Go back for another 5 minutes, I think it was like 4 or 5 paragraphs going back and forth. Printed it out and proof read it. Waited like an hour and proofread again and BAM, submitted it. :)</p>
<p>And seriously who DOESN’T recycle essays?</p>
<p>:) Smileyyy you are basically making my day!</p>
<p>smileyy and kiterunner18: inspiration for all us procrastinators out there! :)</p>
