Short Essays... How important are they?

<p>Are they collectively more important than the fatty one, the same, or less? I am satisfied with my long essay, but my short essays need work and I don't have much time! Do they need to be amazing too? There isn't a whole lot of room, word-wise, to make them spectacular. Should I just focus on trying to get my personality to shine through (whatever little I possess)?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
