<p>I’m in the same position as you, when it comes to writing the essay. However, I know that fall of my senior year is going to be extremely hectic, so I plan to get my personal essay done during the summer. Even if you don’t want to get it done during the summer, I would say at least get it started, and see where it takes you. The earlier you get all of this college stuff done, the better [or so I hear]. This way you can make the most out of senior year 
happy writing!</p>
