“When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.”
“Football is like making love, if you can’t last 90 minutes like me, you wont win.”
“I might have said that, but on the whole I talk a lot of rubbish.”
“I had heart, and I know without heart you cannot play.”
“Goals are like babies… They are all beautiful.”
“I am God.”
…is so overrated.
I mean, anyone who has watched the movie Accepted knows that going to college means you lose money, while not going means you not only save money, but go to work and thus EARN MONEY.
Even a second grader could figure that out.
Oh, what the hell. Who am I kidding?
Come on, it’s the key to success, to your future, yada yada…
Yeah. But this stuff never ends, does it? You spend eternity and a day writing those apps and send em all out. Whew! But it’s not over. Then you gotta fill out the FAFSA and the CSS Profile and all those pages and pages of little numbers that make no sense. What in the blue sky is the difference between net income and gross income? Beats me. And that’s only need-based financial aid. If you want merit-based scholarships, you get to… surprise! write more essays! (Is it just me or are all these essays starting to sound the same?)
I found this tidbit off UC Berkeley’s Alumni Scholarship: Leadership Award website:
“What should I write my essay about?
…[p]lease note that those reviewing your application will not have access to your UC application. This means that if you want to use an essay similar to the one you used for your UC application, you are welcome to as long as this is applicable to the topic.
OMGAH. Colleges even promote essay-recycling. Well, I suppose they should, seeing as they’re the ones making us write millions and jillions.
I’ve got UC Berk and LA scholarship apps due in 2 days.
Cheers.
Food for thought: the lonely life’s not for everyone.
I just found a new way to waste time. Hallelujah.
I should be getting back to that Euro DBQ. But then again, I did spend a million dollars getting Davis and Landshof wedding presents, so if I don’t get straight 100%’s for the next 4 essays, I will be forever enraged.
“Forever enraged” sounds a tad awkward.
Yeah… I’m gonna go read through the latest copy of Eurosport or something.
Cheers.
