ok so anyone on here have advice on writing college essays?
i'm trying to get a head start before midterms and i'm just kinda
staring at the question blankly

(Edited 12-04-14 9:43 pm)

ok here is the question:

Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

like where do i even start with that

he swore up and down it was true
its where everyone goes on vacation in russia

[In 2014 they'll have the Olympics there, but he doesn't know that.]

yeah this is off the common app
hopefully if any school wants something different i can just tweak it if i have to

[Once he actually writes it. Right now his word doc only has his name and I'm a fucking Russky written in it. O foul blinking cursor.]

[ she was trapped in a murder basement. so... she also missed sochi. :( ]

You'll do fine. Start an outline and write a crappy rough draft and I'll come over next week and look at it, okay? And you can tell me more about this mythical vacation spot.

ok
thanks, you're the best :)

[Talk about motivators.]

[ she knows her sway, okay? at least she's using it for good and not evil. ]

I know.

what do you want for christmas btw

[Tis the season, after all. That and Annie dropped a line asking what he wanted, which reminded him he should probably get something for Abigail, because they are... whatever they are.]

Nothing.

[ it's not really a helpful answer. but she doesn't want anything. so. ]

oh ok
i don't really want anything either
christmas is kinda weird for me

Me too. It's all family and

I don't know what the point is supposed to be anymore.

You can hang out with me on Christmas, if you want.

yeah i haven't done much for christmas since my dad died
my mom's not really into it anymore or idk maybe she never was
yeah let's do that
screw the conventions

Ditto. We can make FOX News hate us by taking the Christ out of Christmas and call it Friendsmas. :)

[Friendsmas sounds more like FRIENDZONEMAS all of a sudden. Which is disappointing, since he thought things had been going well.]

do u think maybe
i mean do you wanna

[UHHHH]

do you think maybe we're a lil bit more than friends at this point?

[PANIC]

i mean only if u wanna be
i'm cool with whatever but i really like you and
i guess i wanna see where things go with that??

but only if you want to

[ /falls down /rolls off into the sunset. she does text back immediately so she doesn't cruelly make him wait. ]

You're not asking me out via text message.

And for the record, one does not preclude the other.

[HE'S NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT THAT MEANS BUT HE'S CALLING HER FAST.]

[ bless. ]

Hi. [ she huffs. being a teenager is hard. ] Look, before you ask again, my best friend is a guy. And when I can't sleep sometimes he comes over and sleeps with me. And my best friend isn't going to stop being a guy if you ask me out so you have to be, I dunno, okay with that.

[WELL THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS EXPECTING. There is a stunned silence for a few seconds.]

Do you mean like sleeps sleeps or like, sleeeeeps?

[Being a teenager is hard.]

I mean like sleep, doofus. He has a girlfriend.

Oh.

[Infinite relief. Still, it's kinda weird, but like. Nothing he can't handle. Right?]

I mean, if you can't sleep... you could always call me.

[HE WANTS TO BE THERE FOR U BB]

I know.

[ but that would mean subjecting someone else to her nightmares and no. when she can't sleep, stiles is still going to be the first person she calls. best friend privilege. she should probably notify him that she considers him her best friend, but that's also a no. ]

Maybe.

[Okay. That placates him for now.]

So that's a yes? I'm okay with... whatever his name is. What's his name?

Stiles.

[ a beat. she has a feeling this is going to become a thing one day. but for now... ]

And yeah, it's a yes.

Stiles. [Sounds like a chump's name. :/] Does he know about me?

[Luckily he is cheered by her answer.]

Oh. Okay. [He smiles.] Cool.

[ ummmm he knows some boy made her cry. :D ]

I don't know? You've probably come up. [ has he though? maybe not by name, but surely there's been some mention... no, there hasn't. except for when she mentioned the ear thing. to be fair, it's not like stiles has come up to jayden either.

she's so good at this, wow. ]

[He's not sure he likes that answer, because a male bestie named Stiles has definitely never come up before. But whatever, Jayden's never really talked about his other friends much himself. He's pretty close with some girls, like Annie. And she's not just a girl, she's a war criminal. He probably shouldn't be judging Abigail's choice of friends.]

Does he go to Heropa High?

[You know, he's just curious. So they can all hang out sometime. ~~Or Jayden can put his fist in Stiles's face~~.]

No, he goes to the imPort school.

[ Yep, definitely gonna be a thing. ]

You know my other best friend though. Really well.

[Of course he does.]

Really? Who is it?

[He's happy to change the subject.]
