<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm technically not going anywhere for new years eve. I'm writing 3 essays for a college application tonight. (due at midnight!). Eating some pizza though.
Then in the morning (like 2 AM), I'm gonna go to one of my friends house with this girl, and we're gonna watch Juno on bootleg. Alcohol and Weed. Me and the girl will get drunk....everyone else will get high and drunk. My chances of getting laid by her seem slim, but the alcohol may swing the tables.</div>
Why did you wait until to tonight to write your essay. That's just . . . stupid.
</div>
One of the essays is 150 words max. (the one on one of your activities). Then the one you get to pick from like 6 choices (with like 4 different variations on each one) is 250 words minimum, which is again, nothing. That one I'll probably make around 1,000 words, which is again, nothing. Then the one on the supplement is what makes this school unique that makes you want to apply. That one is 1,000 characters max (which is like 190 words maybe, which is again, nothing).
I figure spend about an hour on the two short ones, and then a second hour on the big one. That gives plenty of time to work it into a masterpiece.
These essays are way too easy. Pretty pathetic imo.

short essays are much harder than long ones. they're looking to see how descriptive you can be while staying concise, and using the singular correct word instead of three. every. word. matters. tread carefully.
