<p>Hi guys. Just hanging around CC because I can't sleep. I'm suddenly seized with worry about my essays. So here I am, and I'll just further bombard this forum with more anxieties. Like we need more of those around here...</p>
<p>Anyways. Is anyone else feeling really insecure? I finished writing my essays today, but I have this really nagging feeling that they're not... well, how on earth do you know when they're good enough? I keep thinking... did I put enough love for Chicago in? Is my long essay creative enough? Do I sound pretentious? Should abandon paragraphs for a more visually pleasing format? Does it sound like me? Or does it sound like I'm trying too hard?</p>
<p>Heck, how do I banish these irrational worries? It's late, and I think that's a huge factor in my insecurity. I think... I'll go to bed now, and when I wake up tomorrow I'll feel very self-conscious about this post... but! Forget about how I'll feel tomorrow; right now I'm just looking for some comfort. And maybe a cookie, too.</p>
