<p>wow, i went through 8 drafts of my UC essay.... my English teacher did the same thing in October, but the essay I ended up submitting I wrote the day before the deadline. :| I think i really do work best under pressure, lol</p>
<p>When my counselor first told me it was time for college apps, I went straight to commonapp's site. Half an hour later, i was on eBay. Another hour later, and I had bought a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy.</p>
<p>Need I say more?</p>
<p>^ CocaCola: LOL. Video games can be rather addicting. =P</p>
<p>I think that facebook/tv/online aim has been the downfall of everyone. What is worst is if you think about, had you removed all this from your life and dedicated it to studying for SAT ACT or school in general, then would you not be worrying about college application because you would be SO smart that you would be a "shoe - in"???</p>
<p>This conflict haunts now that my life is hopeless and my SAT scores suck as well as grades. My dreams went from Harvard to UF to USF to Community College :[</p>
<p>facebook, reading all the old ivy threads looking for hope but getting depressed instead , msn which i havent used in a long time, and smoking hookah with friends. and i keep on getting the message "you have been logged out due to inactivity".</p>

<p>ive been staring at accepted threads to my number one and looking at collegeboard's how do i stack up...oh yea call of duty 5=procrastination, but for good reasons...killing nazi's?</p>
<p>Yeah I've definitely been procrastinating--facebook, cc, stuff. I think that if I didn't procrastinate, I could probably get all of my homework done by 6 pm. I'll experiment tomorrow: turn off the internet, and just plow through all of my crap until 6 pm. Gah and I have 2 more essays to write before Jan 15. Which reminds me, I gotta start crackin' on em....</p>
<p>I haven't played with a yo-yo since I was in 3rd grade.</p>
<p>I play so much now that I have a callus on my middle finger > <
Now I don't think I'll ever get to those darn essays!</p>
<p>The internet.</p>
<p>The root of all evil.</p>
<p>Basically, I got into applying early, and then once the early decisions started rolling in, and the acceptance letters came in, I decided that since I was already accepted, why do any more work?</p>
<p>oh, and the Internet.</p>
<p>I've on CC all day looking for ways to improve my chances of admission, instead of DOING the thing that would improve my chances (the essays). But I think i'm getting better as long as I close all internet windows and just write.</p>
<p>Forums. Email. Facebook. Assassins creed. GTA San Andreas. Lots of TV. Parties. Friends</p>
<p>Ap Lit essays</p>
<p>what?! no...
still listening to music.. and thinking about and looking at the enormous pile of work i need to do</p>
<p>I'm not a junior yet, so I don't have to work on it XD But I have been brainstorming and will start on my college essay soon to get a headstart! ^_^</p>
<p>What's holding me back is: Manga(Graphic Novels), Anime and... College Confidential :D lol</p>
