Goodness, time is just flying by. I
swear yesterday was February 20 or something. But apparently today is not
February 21, it is actually March 3. My mistake.
My kind and
very considerate mother signed my sister and I up, the other day, for a seminar
on how to write amazing college essays. I was rather reluctant to go, because,
let's be honest, I got better things to do! But, I figured, it can't hurt to just show up. So, at 6 o'clock, I duly left the
house, and drove to the seminar hall with Emma in tow.
As much as I'd
like to be hip and scoff the idea of actually taking to heart what the speaker
said ( I mean, what nerd ACTUALLY LISTENS to silly speeches like that?!), I was
really quite impressed by the speaker. Yes, there was the usual load of waffle
consisting of cliché statements like "You may think
you're ordinary, but you're EXTRAordinary!!" But, on the other hand, she
did really mention how admissions admins choose which applicants are suitable
for acceptance.
My problem lies in the fact that sometimes my life is like...
Person: Anyone, even YOU can be extraordinary!
Other people: *tries very hard*
Person: See? I knew you could do it!
Me: *also tries pretty hard*
Person: . . . You gave it your best!
I guess, maybe I underestimate my self a little, but the whole time, I got so excited because I was actually being told what ideas to build off of and how to go about doing things, and then I remembered that I'm not good at essays.
