I seriously almost went to bed about five minutes ago, but then I remembered I have to make a post within the next thirty-six minutes, so I'd better hop to it. But since I am rather sleepy, this is going to be shorter.
What's most on my mind right now that concerns English class would be when Ms. Long came to talk to us about college. I'm not sure if I'm the only person who became terrified from the combination of confusing information, the haste in which it was delivered, and the papers where we had to basically sell how amazing but still human we are, but it really got to me. I want to go to college definitely, yet I didn't realize it was all so ... difficult to apply. Maybe I just took it that way, I wasn't having the best day in the first place. It just seemed like a lot that I was not prepared to hear.
I'm going with the hope I'm being a little dumb about it. But as for now, I'm going to get some sleep so I don't pass out during class tomorrow, because I still really do like it and would prefer not to miss it. Goodnight, whoever is reading this!
I completely agree.(and also did my post while half-sleep. Bad idea on my behalf)
ReplyDeleteI just can't seem to accept that we've reached the point where we actually have to apply, nevertheless have to actually GET IN. What can we say in a paper that hasn't been said before to convince people we're worth going to their school, that our lives are worth something when they probably know darn well we're seniors and are barely giving a care about our current school year yet they expect us to give a care in THEIR school. (did that run-on make sense)
I also agree!It makes me really nervouse to think about appyling to schools. Over the summer, I read a book about the whole college application process and all it did was make me more nervous. If I'm really bad about not knowing what to say about myself(like my strengths and weaknesses), how am I going to fill out an entire application about myself and why I should go to that school? Just thinking about all of this stresses me out.
