My life right now is all about college. I'm almost done figuring out where I want to apply; but the next step is even more daunting. I have to actually apply! I have lists and lists of due dates and different components of the applications, and how I can best represent myself in every way possible.
As apprehensive as I am about finishing my college applications, I am more worried that I have lost my ability to engage with other people. Most of the older folks that I hang out with seem fascinated by the college application process, while most of the people who are also going through the college application process seem content to talk about nothing but it. However, other people who are not so highly involved with college applications, but who are still affected by them (such as my siblings) constantly complain that the only thing I am focused on right now is applying to college.
I think they are right. And I think that my current singular focusing on applying to college makes me a very boring person. So, my goal once I finish this whole process? Strive to become a more interesting person who is able to talk about something that does not involve college.

all I talk about is law school applications. when people ask what's new in my life, all i have is the progress on my apps. i know other things are interesting (trapeze, running, sometimes work) but it's so easy to obsess about apps.
did you end up applying to wes or no? best of luck with everything.
