<p>Aren’t we all insecure in one way or another girlyshout? Nevertheless, vindictiveness implies that I have a desire to flame someone in revenge. I have no innate desire, it just tickles my fancy to return a particular sentiment, which is why I told you previously that I NEVER throw the first flame. If I did have a vindictive desire to get back at someone, don’t you think I would be out looking for a fight with every chance I get? Especially with those who have previously flamed me?</p>
<p>OP, I think you have a good shot with Cal and LA. You have a good story. It does worry me what your counselor said though. I think it’s better to have the essay more specific to the major. It might be better for you to pick one major and write a really well-written story explaining why you are so passionate about that field of study.</p>
