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

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.]

It's you, loser. So stop talking about Stiles, it sounds like you want to date him.

Oh.

[He lets out an embarrassed laugh.]

Sorry. It's definitely you I want to date.

[Date... that's such a strong word. Thank God his mother isn't here.]

Okay then.

[ maybe she should double check... ]

You're not concussed are you? Or high? Or drunk? Or all three simultaneously?

[He laughs again, relaxing a bit.]

None of the above. I promise.

Hmm. [ does she believe him? yes. does she sound like it? no. ]

I didn't know you were friends with Yuri. [ a beat. ] Is there, like, a club for wayward Russians? A Russian bat signal? Do I get to know all your secrets and get a cool club jacket now?

[ she's definitely mostly teasing. about the jacket. ]

Heh, yeah. [His accent becomes comically thick.] Brothers from Motherland, we must stick together.

[He becomes mostly American again, although his mirth seems to diminish.]

When did you talk to Yuri?

[ she laughs softly, obviously amused. ]

I ran into him when I was getting my lemonade. [ you know, the rose tea lemonade she is literally addicted to and drinks like five times a day... that lemonade. ] I mentioned tutoring you when we were talking about... what I want to be when I grow up, basically. He said I should seize the future I want so... [ she hums a leading sort of noise. ] You can thank him for this.

[ she might not have said yes if that conversation hadn't happened. ]

[Oh yeah. By now he knows that lemonade.]

Really? He said all that to you?

[This is kind of news to him because Yuri has been such a Grumpy Gus lately. He finds it surprising he was encouraging anyone to do anything.]

Well, um, I'm glad. Really glad. I'll make sure to thank him.

—Hey, uh, I guess this might be a decent time to mention this. Did you hear about that imPort charity date auction thing we're supposed to go to next week?

[ abigail is a unicorn, okay jayden. serial killers love her. ]

Uh-huh. With the base jumping thing. I signed up Freddie for the auction. What about it?

Wait, you signed Freddie up for the auction?

[Bursts out laughing.]

Of course I did. [ it's said much the same as duh. ] Its for charity and Freddie Lounds will bring in so much money. And if they look gross, I'll just bid on her myself

Okay, well, I kind of got bullied into signing myself up, too. You know, to show them what a good cooperative imPort I am, since I can't actually do any hero stuff.

Do you want me to bid on you, too?

Well. You know. I would be all yours for the night. I'd have to do anything you wanted.

[He might be exaggerating on how the rules work, just a little. But still. It would be weird to ask a girl out and then immediately be obligated to go out with someone else.]

[ it takes a second for abigail to answer because she's too busy expiring from blushing whoa boy. ]

I'm pretty sure you'd be all mine anyway.

[ AHAHA NO BUT THEYRE BEING SO CUTE AND NORMAL. /JUMPS OFF CLIFF THIS IS PRECIOUS. I HOPE YOU WANTED MY PERSONAL COMMENTARY IN THIS TAG BC UR GETTING IT.

srsly tho flirting how. ]

[Oh no now he's blushing too. FLIRTING IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE HANG OF. But at least she's not unreceptive. He laughs softly, a little embarrassed.]

That's true. But we could pretend, I dunno.

[IT'S OKAY I DON'T MIND, I LOVE THEM TOO.]

[ she stuffs her face in her pillow. jumps out the window. okay, maybe not the second part. ]

When someone else bids on you, I will try to out bid them.

[ probably.

idk she might make him suffer, depends on if it's before or after freddie. she might have blown on all money on freddie! ]
