<p>College essays suck. Did I mention college essays suck?</p>
<p>get yur essays done, i am done applying to colleges as of last week-- senior year is going to be a blast...i have not taken a single notebook or text book home with me, use your study halls to your advantage, oh and if you dont have any, that sucks! im taking 4 AP courses and i still manage to have 2 study halls every day...</p>
<p>oh yeah, and have some fun, go party!</p>
<p>College essays do suck... I decided not to apply to some schools just b/c i didnt feel like writing good essays. All of the schools ive applied for have optional essays</p>
<p>I wrote 9 essays in one weekend...and they either ended up being really good or sucking :)</p>
<p>I have 3 essays written.. they sounded good at first but after i read them a few times i was like screw it and just stopped editing them. If i dont get accepted to the schools ive applied to ill bring them back out but until then screw it</p>
<p>I'm applying to Ohio State (why in the heck is such a big school requiring two 250 freaking word essays! :mad: ) and one of mine is 350 when it should be 250 and I need to apply soon...so serious editing on at least one essay already.</p>
<p>I have a grand total of 0 essays written. But I've started. On several. Now to finish... This weekend looks good.</p>
<p>Senior year is definitely the hardest and most stressful. I can't see "fun" even as an option. I barely go out. I've been writing/revising essays like no other, and every second that I'm not writing essays I'm reading (for AP Lit and we have tons of supplemental books to read for AP Euro) and outlining like hell (AP Euro, AP Macro). It's a bit insane. I don't have busy work anymore, which is nice (except in Math and Spanish), just tons and tons of outlining. It's just a tedious year so far...</p>
<p>ditto. i think it is because many of the more advace courses weren't offered/ available till senior year... arrgh. Some of my sophmore classes were just... useless... bleh.</p>
<p>Senior year is amazing. I love all my classes except physics, driving, messing with freshies. my apps are done and I only had to write one essay. Life is good. This is gonna be one hell of a year :D</p>
<p>PS- Im not taking calc :D</p>
<p>Gah, don't even listen to all the people saying it's fun. It's not. It's horrible and pathetic. This year is a complete waste of time. They should make senior "year" span across a month, in which time you should apply to colleges and for scholarships, and then move into a dorm or whatever. British literature is sadly the most pointless thing I've ever come across in life. US Government (and I'm betting on Economics, too) comes in as a close second to BritLit. All the other "filler" classes meet their definition well. I feel like I'm being cheated out of something this year. I hate it.</p>
<p>relax a little. live a little. laugh a little. find a safety school that you would be happy to attend, apply there. apply for your reaches and keep your fingers crossed. then relax a little bit! there is a lot to learn about yourself before you head off to college next year, so do some things that are fun for you. explore a new club, pick up a good book, talk to an underclassmen you've never talked to before. make something good happen; time will pass more quickly that way! advice from a mom! so, i guess we know what this is worth!</p>
