Please do not start your essay with âMusic has always been a big part of my life.â I get it. Itâs the start of every. single, fricken, essay. And I know I probably made the same mistakes when I was writing mine.Â

Can I start it with âdude bro. Music is the bomb digity.â ?
Honestly, you wouldnât be the first person. I had a student start an essay with âBall is lifeâ and they got a scholarship soâŠ
I am incredibly curious as to why a college admissions officer has a tumblr
Shouldnât we be worried that a college admission officer HAS a tumblr??
honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister
When I was sixteen, my family visited Hawaii, and I had a cute new swimsuit. I was a pretty busty teen, with the vocabulary of an AP English student, and while I was out swimming, a couple of college guys started flirting with me. Nothing gross, just pleasantly casual hey-you-look-great-how-are-you-enjoying-the-beach stuff.
After a minute or two of this, one of them asked if I was there with friends, and I said no, I was with my family. âWow, you still travel with your family?â one exclaimed. âThatâs coolâŠâ
âWell, I am sixteen,â sez me.
Reader, they blanched. They flustered, they apologized, they assured me that theyâd thought I was also in college, they wished me a good vacation and they bounced. All within about a minute of realizing theyâd been chatting up a minor.
I was mildly mortified at the time, but now? I look back and think, Ah, what good men. What good young men.
