I tend to sit around and replay happy memory things in my head.
I'm trying to decide what to post on the best memory 0f 2005 thread; I know whatever I choose will have something to do with board-related events, but I can't pick just one.
I hate those kinds of essays, because I can never find the right place between saying what I want to say, finding something profound and real, and giving them what they *want* to hear.

Good luck Elphie!
This may be a silly question (meaning, I'm sure you've thought about this already), but would you want to go to Tufts over Chicago? Just curious. Because if you know you're into Chicago...something to take the pressure off a little?

"because I can never find the right place between saying what I want to say, finding something profound and real, and giving them what they *want* to hear."
Hm, I don't think the two are necessarily mutually exclusive. I wrote my main college essay very quickly (err, I actually filled out the entire application pretty fast... not recommended) and wrote about an event that really and truly did change my life and make me the person I am today. I'd imagine that was something the college wanted to hear about and something that was personally profound.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 3:35pmRight now, I want to go to Chicago over Tufts, definitely. But that's *right now*. I have no idea how I'll feel in May, after I've visited again and sat in on classes and stayed over night.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 3:39pmI think it depends on the question; like, if they ask you to write about something that changed your life, I do think there's like... a certain way they want it to be stated. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I was reading this article that was a satire of the college essay, and it was just a list of trials and tribulations this person had gone through and over dramatization to try to prove that they're a strong person and should therefore get into college. It was actually very, very funny, but it made a good point, too. People are so obsessed with giving admissions officers what they want to hear, that they don't really think about what they say as much. On a few of my applications, I was asked why I thought I was a good fit for the school; now *that's* a question where you know they're looking for something specific, IMO.

Yeah, I couldn't choose a best moment in 2005, course mine would be bway related...but like everything seems kinda connected, like the first time I did something, but then doing something again it was better and...I dunno. Maybe just everything bway and BWW related was a collective moment?
Sorry about the essays Elphie. There's two things I remember from my college essay writing. First, if you can find a place to add something about you overcoming obstacles, they love to hear about that. And I still remember skimming through a book that said...suppose the essay is a date, you wouldn't just tell your date I'm really funny you would make a joke so they thought that...something like that.
Anyone else up for a rousing chorus of the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?

(Un)fortunately, I have not overcome any significant obstacles, unless you count making my way through the halls at my school college-essay worthy. I am also not funny. So there we go, the story of my life: I lead an unfunny, privileged existence.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 3:49pmI have specific moments, sure. But I can't pick one, or rank them.

Sorry, double post.
#11209Adam's Slow Lovin'
Posted: 12/30/05 at 3:51pmHmmm.... my english teacher gave us the hint that essays didn't necessarily have to be 100% true and biographical. Obviously you couldn't go to the extreme and say you are a movie star or whatever but added little things sometimes make the better essay.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 4:07pm...I think I have a hump on my back from sitting at this computer working on these stupid essays for so long. I really want some warm chocolate chip cookies right now. *wishes she hadn't tried to choke on Atrias' cookies and eaten them instead*

Ugh, tell me about it! And I've been working all day. 
Okay, so please tell me so I don't make another idiotic mistake: if the deadline is 1/1, that means it can be submitted *ON* 1/1, right? It doesn't *have* to be before, right?

Posted: 12/30/05 at 4:50pmI know it, but I'm paranoid. I jsut have to keep reminding myself that in 2 days, this will all be over, and I'll never have to worry about it again.

Sorry for the threadjack, but I just woke up from a nap and had the weirdest dream. I was at some Aida performance and naturally, Mr. Pascal was on stage, but he was... not trim. And not attractive. What the hell?!
Pretty sure I've spent too much time in this thread. Heh.

You can do it!
If someone to whom I sent the interview audio and the Symphony Space audio could upload those to yousendit and send them back to me, I'd really, really, REALLY appreciate it. They don't seem to have made the transfer, and they're very important to me.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 5:05pmEm, is the Symphony Space audio the one where Adam makes the joke about Anthony liking vegan cobbler "with a penis"? If so, I think I still have it. My connection is really slow, so it might take a while, but I'll try!
#11222Adam's Slow Lovin'
Posted: 12/30/05 at 5:11pmYeah, that's it. I *might* still have it, hold on and let me try this again.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 5:13pmJust PM me if you need it. It's really no trouble for me at all, I was just warning you that it may take a little while. :)
