slice of life essays

<p>So all these colleges use the essay to get to know the real you, right? </p>

<p>BUT I feel so reluctant about doing this because I tend to be a little to honest... I mean I told someone who was interviewing me for this hs program that I totally lacked common sense. I walked out of the room with my head hung down in shame. I mean we were both laughing about it in the room and everything... but when I got out of the room I realized she was prolly laughing at me. I guess my greatest virtue is that I can really laugh at myself. My first day at my new research internship I was trying to make a really good impression.... I was sitting there with a double panel comp screen and an oscilloscope with an extra panel... Everytime I opened a new window I had to look all around for the window... I was like surely it doesnt randomly pop up anywhere on the screen... yes it does lol... and I thought I was pretty computer savvy before that... also sadly I happened to get my mouse stuck on one screen.... ohhh the shame I felt when I almost had to ask someeone to help me move the mouse...</p>

<p>anyways as you can see my favorite punctuations are ellipses... </p>

<p><strong><em>I just wanted to know how much of the truth should you tell??</em></strong>.... because I could go on and on about the stupid things I do, but then why would they want me at their school....</p>

<p>It's not just the truth you want to tell, but is this what you want the colleges (or even other people) to see? Does this truly represent an important part of you? Is it really important to you?</p>

<p>A few essays are supposed to capture your entire personality...is this a part of your persona you want to highlight?</p>

<p>And punctuation and grammar are pretty important. If anything, it makes the essay easier to read.</p>

<p>lol btw... that isnt an essay more like a blurb... hmm i guess rather than emphasizing the actual mistakes i should show how i learn from them or maybe how being able to laugh at them has helped me in life</p>
