<p>I'm already doing a 2 month summer internship so I don't have time for another big program this summer. Do you know of any essay contests or things like that look good on the college app but won't take as much time? Do you know where I can learn about them?</p>
<p>I think most essay contests take place during the school year with the deadline being in winter or spring</p>
<p>Look up scholarships. Lots of scholarships require an essay.</p>
