The Official I'm-Going-to-Send-My-Essay-In-Two-Minutes-Before-the-Deadline Thread

<p>Perfect.
.</p>

<p>For me it's more like I'm-Going-to-START-My-Essay-In-Two-Minutes-Before-the-Deadline</p>

<p>Argh, I'm supposed to be finishing my essays but instead I sign up for CC... I fail.</p>

<p>Anyway, hello, my brethren!</p>

<p>lolscats, I am right there with you. </p>

<p>corgonin, lololol.</p>

<p>we can do it guys, don't sweat it :)!</p>

<p>So I'm not alone? I'm not the only one sitting in front of my computer typing maddeningly incoherent essays because I've been procrastinating this holiday break? I'm so pathetic. Gotta go write a few sentences....</p>

<p>Hahahaha we've been such a bad influence on you BobRainbow! So sorry....</p>

<p>Haha, well, I've been lurking for a while. Signing up for CC just tells you how terrible I am when it comes to procrastinating.</p>

<p>So I have ONE MORE application to submit before tomorrow. My laptop basically crashed today. I called Dell and we got it to work, but we aren't sure how long this is going to last. I'm frantically trying to finish this supplement tonight so that i can email myself the files and be DONE, DONE, DONE with this supplement tomorrow. Too bad I have four more schools on January 15.</p>

<p>woohoo.
I currently have to write 2 "why x" essays.
And finish these NYU supp questions.
think I can just write 1 why x essay and change the name? @___@</p>

<p>i have to submit at least 4 or 5 out of my 13 applications by 9pm if i want to go out tonight.</p>

<p>i dont know if i can do it :(</p>

<p>"think I can just write 1 why x essay and change the name? @___@"</p>

<p>..isn't that what everyone does?</p>

<p>I've actually been REMARKABLY productive today, it scares me. I just have cornell left, but I don't want to do it. I realize I don't really want to go (not that I would get in anyway).</p>

<p>What do I do?!</p>

<p>i realized that i may not want to go to uchicago. what mainly grabbed me to it is the fermilab, but then i also wonder, "man, will i be able to take the workload?"</p>

<p>ARGH.. my mom's watching pride&prejudice and its distracting me from my essays!</p>

<p>I hate "Why ___" essays... Well, more than I hate essay writing in general.</p>

<p>To everyone here: take a deep breath, meditate for a few seconds, and log out of CC. Then write like your life depends on it, because it just might!!!</p>

<p>@whheex: write your essays on paper in a room away from your mother. This way you'll revise and construct essentially at the same time, without any distraction. ;)</p>

<p>@huang: You remind a decent amount about someone I know in real life with that name. It's creepy. Incidentally, if you don't want to go, you shouldn't. All you'd be doing is getting yourself stuck in a position you never wanted to be in. Try focusing on the other ones, and polish up the 2 or 3 you really care about. Or do it anyway, because you might end up really liking the place. I dunno, maybe flip a coin? Sorry if that wasn't much help. (''-_-)</p>

<p>I loved one Why essay. Wrote it in about fifteen minutes once I got started. The one I'm working on now, I have put off all day. Literally. I opened the computer to type at 8:00, and didn't actually start the essay until 3:00. Seven full hours of procrastination, and that's only today. I tried writing it yesterday too. I have a draft, but I don't much like it. It's making me wonder whether I love certain schools as much as I think I do...
Where do I really want to be?</p>

<p>Isn't deadline day self-doubt great? Ah well...if it isn't meant to be, it won't be, right?
Happy New Year! =D</p>

<p>^ You sound exactly like me! It's taken me three days to write on 1000 character essay. I hate the college process and the college process had made me hate myself.</p>

<p>My Why Yale was really easy, but that might have been because it was 5 lines. lol.</p>

<p>Of all the days for your laptop to crash. This is what my guidance counselor calls her "worst nightmare."</p>

<p>Rhymes that is SO ME. It's horrible, I'll write a line and that's it or just do nothing until 6 PM.</p>

<p>UGH</p>

<p>I think everyone in this thread can relate to Rhyme-that's why we're here, right?</p>
