here are excerpts from my college application essay. i wrote
|
|
something like 12 total, i think. these were all used for schools i got
|
|
into, and for the most part was offered scholarships to. i think that's
|
|
probably an embarrassment to most of the schools, since these essays are
|
|
cheesy out the ass, and just stupid. though, admittedly, i read a bunch
|
|
of essays on "how to write a good college essay" before i wrote these,
|
|
so these're pretty much copies, except with dumber concepts. so, uh,
|
|
enjoy.

for Georgetown: Me Wanting to Be "Different"
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Jerry stripped off his blue jumpsuit and stood nude in the midst
|
|
of the other workers. The suit was nothing but a burden there in the
|
|
hot work yard. The sun beat down on his newly exposed body, but soon
|
|
his skin would become tough and accustomed to the rays. He did not need
|
|
that scratchy wool suit provided for all employees so that they would be
|
|
identical machines of labor. Jerry knew that perhaps he was being
|
|
foolish by breaking the unwritten law of the ages, but he also knew that
|
|
he was stronger when not hiding behind the bond of the identical worker.
|
|
|
|
We as a society are progressing towards an era in which we no
|
|
longer need to hide behind the bond of conformity. My peers and I are
|
|
the new generation of young people who strive to be tomorrow's leaders.
|
|
We do not need those constricting wool jumpsuits of ages past, for those
|
|
navy suits are only covers for difference; difference that was once
|
|
thought to separate, but instead is beneficial. Jerry realized that his
|
|
strength lay in his difference - there was no need to hide within the
|
|
bonds of conformity any longer - just as our strength lies in our
|
|
diversity.

for USC: Me Showing How Gullible and Cheese-ball I Could Be
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
". . .So I just put a little cocaine on the end of my cigarette
|
|
and dab it on my gums. Look, I have to. I ain't got no teeth. They
|
|
wouldn't let me have none when I was in that institution in
|
|
Milledgeville. . ."
|
|
|
|
As he pulled up his lip to show me his toothless gums, I wondered
|
|
what I had gotten myself into by allowing him to start a conversation
|
|
with me. I turned back around to face the front of the bus. Maybe it
|
|
was my own fault that I felt suddenly let down. I had been gullible
|
|
enough to believe that this senile, loud, crazy old man really could
|
|
have been an Olympic-caliber athlete.
|
|
|
|
The moment had held such promise, sharing an experience with
|
|
someone that I would have been proud to say that I met. Instead, the
|
|
man turned out to be just a person, a person that any one of us could
|
|
one day become. It was in that moment I realized it matters not how a
|
|
situation may seem; it is what we make of it that counts. I looked at
|
|
Ralph and smiled. Even if all I gained from the experience were a few
|
|
stories, I wanted to give Ralph the listening ear for which he was so
|
|
obviously aching. And perhaps he really had been a gold medal winner.

|
|
for Tufts: Me Showing What a Pathetic Computer Geek I Am
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
I once heard someone describe the on-line community as a place
|
|
which causes "real life [to become] almost 'blah'," and "People you've
|
|
known for a long time [to] suddenly seem shallow and self centered." I
|
|
don't find this to be true at all. Instead, my time on-line has caused
|
|
me to discover new things about myself which I can take back to my
|
|
friends outside of the on-line experience. Every time I go on-line, I
|
|
can feel my mind open to new ideas and possibilities. It gives me new
|
|
insights to contribute to class discussions or friendly debates. The
|
|
on-line community not only gave me a whole new set of friends, but it
|
|
also allowed me to become closer and more involved with the other people
|
|
in my life in an intellectual manner. I have reaffirmed many of my
|
|
previously held ideas, and gained new ones through people I met on-line.
|
|
I made new discoveries in my beliefs concerning God, religion, politics,
|
|
other nations, and my own morality. I looked more closely at the
|
|
political candidates as the Presidential elections approached and
|
|
followed my own discoveries and ideas instead of accepting blindly the
|
|
beliefs of my parents. Also, I learned about many religions besides the
|
|
one present in my home. I found that many of my friends didn't
|
|
necessarily need to be a part of an organized religion to find faith,
|
|
God, or religious fulfillment. Their beliefs caused me to want to study
|
|
and read more about other world religions as I decided on the ideology
|
|
that best suited me. While I have yet to decide where I stand insofar
|
|
as religion is concerned, when I do decide, it will be with conviction
|
|
and a deeper understanding.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps I may never find answers to many of my questions, but the
|
|
friendships I have developed on-line and the people I meet help me to
|
|
realize many thing that I would not have been aware of otherwise. Sure,
|
|
sometimes I spend my time with my on-line friends just chatting or
|
|
making jokes, but in many ways they have helped me to more fully realize
|
|
who I am. Though I may never see what any of these people look like or
|
|
meet them in "real-life," many of them are just as valuable and
|
|
beneficial to me as those friends I have known since childhood.

for Brown, maybe?: Me Being Fucking Stupid
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
I never put much stock in dreams before, but there was something
|
|
about this one that made it important. It was prophetic. Playing it
|
|
safe was the easy route. "Follow your dreams; take every chance," it
|
|
told me. I thought then how important it is to always always reach for
|
|
what seems to lie just out of your grasp. All too often, we only try to
|
|
achieve those things in which we are guaranteed success. More
|
|
important, however, is to try for what you are unsure of, what is said
|
|
to be too difficult or inaccessible. If you try to walk on clouds, you
|
|
may tumble. But if you don't try, then you underestimate the power of
|
|
dreams and the strength of clouds.

either Brown or Georgetown, or both: Showing How Dorky & Friendless I Am
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
I looked at Scarlett O'Hara, Gone with the Wind's heroine, and
|
|
she reminded me of our innate desire to be friends with "bad" people.
|
|
At some point, we are attracted to people who don't behave as we would,
|
|
but we live vicariously through their deeds. The qualities that I
|
|
admired in Scarlett and which drew me to her were not necessarily
|
|
characteristics that I would have liked to have for myself, but it was
|
|
fun to be with her. . She lived for the moment - threw caution to the
|
|
wind. Even so, Scarlett had a plan was determined to carry it through
|
|
to the end. She was often selfish, but she was strong and resolute. I
|
|
saw what she could accomplish even with the conditions she had to face,
|
|
and I took some of her will with me.
|
|
|
|
Some of my closest friends weren't always pretty and fun,
|
|
however. Piggy, for example, from Lord of the Flies was not attractive,
|
|
but he was kind and intelligent. He had certain qualities that caused
|
|
me to want to sit and have long conversations with him. Initially, this
|
|
may have been because I pitied him since he was misunderstood by the
|
|
other boys, but this was not the only reasons that he was my friend. He
|
|
was an honest, sincere, loyal and trustworthy being, deserving of
|
|
friendship not only from myself, but from the other boys in the novel as
|
|
well.
