<p>The good life essay was pretty challenging since it's pretty broad, but I decided to write about how I felt I would only have a good life if I spent it trying to help others with my future career (I want to be a psychiatrist)
pretty generic but I'm hoping how well I wrote it will help me out.
what did you guys write about? </p>
<p>Hey there @cheese63p , I’ve been away from the UF forum a bit but decided to come back to catch up on some of the fresh questions! Mmmm, loving it!</p>
<p>Anyways, the essay portion of my application was undoubtedly the part I focused the most on. The blood and passion I put into it… Hopefully the admission officers will acknowledge that. If you haven’t submitted already, I can give you some general tips. I won’t dive into what exactly I put on my own essay for obvious reasosn, but I don’t mind sharing how I structured it.</p>
<p>1st Paragraph: Here I started the introduction with a vivid account of an experience of mine (an experience in which I revolve the notion of the good life.). I end the first paragraph with a somewhat… allegorical metaphor which I touch upon ever-so gently in the upcoming paragraphs.</p>
<p>2nd Paragraph: I gave some background information of myself, and wrote the framework for the main idea I hinted in the first paragraph. I also state my premature and naive view of the good life. At the end I began to erect that main idea.</p>
<p>3rd Paragraph: Here I dove right into that main idea, stating how it affected me and how I grew up from it. I also put what I learned from it and rhetorically asked myself if I had found the good life. Just for some pizzazz I tie it in with the little allegory I mention in the 1st.</p>
<p>4th Paragraph: In this paragraph I finally answer the question, “What is your notion of the good life?” by describing a discovery I had of the TRUE meaning of the good life, having in mind the events of the previous paragraphs. </p>
<p>5th Paragraph: In the final paragraph I answer the question, “How will your undergraduate experience at UF prepare you for the good life?” and wrap up my essay by touching one more time on that simple yet effective metaphor. I end it with a humble outlook to my future and a grateful tone for the opportunity to be a student at UF.</p>
<p>Strictly concerning the essay, and with all humbleness accounted for, I believe I kicked ass.</p>
<p>Any question and/or suggestions, feel free to ask!</p>
<p>Your essay sounds awesome! I will PM some lingering questions I have</p>
