<p>Decided to start (and hopefully finish) one of my college essays tonight...Only thing is, I get down one sentence and am completely lost on what to write for the rest of the introduction haha. I know exactly how I want to write the rest of my essay. This is just frustrating me so much. Happening to anyone else?</p>
<p>one of my essays just starts with a catchy one sentence "paragraph." if you don't have anything interesting or important to say, just dive right in.</p>
<p>Yeah... or maybe my first sentence is just throwing me off haha. Don't think it sounds too interesting.</p>
<p>"Although some people’s academic achievements have been inhibited by injury or family problems, my achievements were hindered by irrational decisions."</p>
<p>"Although some people’s academic achievements have been inhibited by injury or family problems, my achievements were hindered by irrational decisions."
Sorry, but in my honest opinion (hopefully that's what your looking for), this is just run on, and very vague. Just say what you want to say.</p>
<p>Write the rest of the essay first. Come back to the introduction later.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm looking for any help/opinions:D Nothing that you all say about this will hurt my feelings or anything haha</p>
<p>"Write the rest of the essay first. Come back to the introduction later."</p>
<p>That's what one of my teachers tells us to do. :)</p>
<p>"Write the rest of the essay first. Come back to the introduction later."
That's actually what I did in my essays. In fact, in one of them this is how I realized what I wrote-the actual experience, was a great intro itself.</p>
<p>Hmmmmm all right. I guess I can try that strategy. Never did it before though</p>
<p>Oh sweet! Just came up with a good idea! Thanks for the suggestions everyone:D</p>
<p>No prob. Good luck.. How long do you have to complete it? Where are you applying?</p>
<p>This is actually just for a safety school...Probably have never heard of it. SUNY Oneonta. I'd like to complete it and have it sent in by Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>I also need to work on an autobiography essay and send in by Dec. 1st. That should be fun...</p>
<p>Sure have.
Are you from NY?
Where else are you applying.</p>
<p>Ohhh cool!
I am also applying to Stony Brook, Albany, and New Paltz. Nothing really special compared to most people on here.</p>
<p>Where are you applying or have applied?</p>
<p>Good news too! I finished the essay haha. I will definitely check it over within the next few days to make sure it's saying what I want it to say though.</p>
<p>Whoa, nice and quick. I applied to a very competitive program in NYC. I am reluctant to say what it is, at least until I am admitted. :)</p>
<p>Yeah had it all arranged mentally just had to get a good start lol. Thanks for the tips;)</p>
<p>Wow, that sounds really cool:) I wish you the best of luck with it!</p>
