Done with common app! For now.

Perhaps the most exciting thing I've done so far in my life is apply for college. It is probably also the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. Fill out application, write essays, make myself look good, and remember to meet deadlines. Ask teachers for recommendations, I gotta do all of this. Fortunately, I'm proud to say, I am done for the next few days! No more essays, thoughts about college, or worries about deadlines! I don't need to stay up late to read through my essays over and over, or write about my activities. I actually get to go to sleep on the same day that I woke up on. I've gotten about three more white hairs from this, and it'd be nice to get any more. I suppose I don't really care about how white my hair turns, but it is irritating how people make it sound it's my fault for having those white hairs. But anyways, this post is more of a celebratory post for not having to labor over the common application for a little bit. Although to be honest, I'm glad the U.S. has this method for applying to college. My parents told me about Chinese college, where you get one chance to do really well on a test. That sounds so terrible. What if you failed? Goodbye college?
