so, im in the middle of writing a personal statement, and it’s…well, it’s not going well. i’m kind of having a breakdown about it. i am a decent writer, but personal statements are just a completely different ball game. i have my idea, and i’m happy with it, but the words and paragraphs just look so…lame. le sigh.
if it weren’t for andrea, i probably would have given up by now. but she is amazing and provides me encouragement like this (via g-chat):
the other route you could go is just use the words of michelle tanner, “but i’m a fun girl.” true, brief and with all of the people writing in cliches and run-on sentences, i think they’re in need of some fun.
please send love. i need it.
I recall having similar angst when I was writing cover letters ALL the time. Blech. I kept it real (as you may recall). So should you. People dig reality.
