essays r killing me
i've finished my common app essay (after 9 unsuccessful drafts spanning 4 months) and now that i see the massive list of supplemental essays i have to write PLUS scholarship essays, i feel like i'm going to drown. essays are leaving me absolutely NO time to study for tests and exams, my concentration span and energy levels are dipping.
i've somehow managed to tell my life story extremely comprehensively within the 650 words allocated to the common app essay, and feel like i have nothing to write my supplementals on, in a way that would avoid any overlap with my personal statement.
i'm choking and drowning and throwing up and i'm so done and ready to take a gap year and move to italy and live a comfortable happy quiet life help me
