College Headaches

Just when you think the applying to college process is finished, you get bombarded with other applications in all shapes and sizes--and the process starts all over again. Last week, I recieved an honour's college application from Fredonia as well as another scholarship offer, for both of which I have to write an essay. I just finished writing one for the University of Vermont last weekend. It's a good thing I enjoy writing, but even this is obnoxious--epescially when all of the questions sound the same and you find yourself repeating and repeating and repeating the same old topics (what are you strengths/weaknesses, write about a book you've read that stimulated you, and what sort of colour can you add to the university). I've got a headache just thinking about beginning everything; what with midterms, rediculous amounts of ap lit assignments, and Eastman homework... it's like im in college already! I've almost finished yet another sleepless week.

Yeah, i got a couple scholarships also and find that a process I felt that i had completed won't be officially over until May 1st which is when you have to choose were you are going.

Yeah I have yet to understand when the "senior year ist he best year of your life" thing runs true, it's more work than junior year.
