<p>I read on a certain website that “You know that mental state where you don’t know if you’re awake or dreaming. In this ambiguous mental state write your application essay.” This sounds really silly, but actually, when I was on the computer and was tired, late at night. I kind of wrote out on the Word document a draft essay that in the back of my head said was silly, but actually, it ended up being a rough draft for my essay! </p>
<p>Maybe you should try it. You never know. I think what did it was the fact that I wasn’t really thinking about whether what I was writing sounded good or not. I just spilled it out kind of unconsciously, and I ended up liking it!</p>
