Fourteen years ago I needed to apply to college, but I didn't end up doing it until the very last minute. I was actually admitted to the University of Redlands only a few weeks before school started. I just didn't know how to own up to my bad grades in high school and I told myself that my only saving grace would be writing an amazing application essay...which I couldn't bring myself to do...I was too intimidated by my own expectations of how captivating and profound this essay had to be and I just wouldn't do it.
Now I'm right back in the same place...I have to make up for poor grades again. I have to convince people that there is something to me, that I'm worth it...and it has to be as captivating and profound as ever. This time I'm not putting it off, the looming deadlines are helping with that, but I'm struggling with writing a personal statement that as I said last week will make people want to give me money.
I'll just keep trying...keep spitting out paragraphs until they come together as something coherent to turn in on March 14th.
Okay that's enough about that...on to a happy topic...here's further proof that, just like I discovered the other night, stamps + Martha Stewart punches=my new favorite way to make simple cards...
