I know this has been done before but I am having writer's block.

I'm trying to do the "Describe yourself" essay and I can't seem to get started.
 
Take off your clothes, stand in a mirror and start from there :-D
 
Hmm I'd like to not have nightmares tonight. 😎
 
Hey,

Picture yourself on interview day of your dream school. You're in the waiting room with other prospective students. You look around and know that many of these students are probably 4.0-GPAers(what can I say, im bitter🙂) . Think about one thing that they cant touch you on. Think about what makes you "megalofyia" as opposed to "squat n squeeze" ( that may end up being a novel). During this whole application process, never forget the crap you put up with and the whole runaround these admissions people gave you. Write a killer description/personal statement. For those like us, we have only things like personal statements ands such to really redeem ouselves in a way many people dont have to. If you were a bystander watching the life events of "megalofyia", how would you describe the way in which you handled issues and overcome difficulty. Im sure you have many aspects of your personality/life that make you different from those 4.0-ers we're up against! Hope this helps!
And when you land that interview, blow them outta the water😎
 
SORRY, THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE "DUH" BUT CONCENTRATE ON YOUR PERSONAL QUALITIES THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOUR REAL STRENGTHS AND EXAMPLES OF HOW THAT IS EVIDENT IN YOUR LIFE. EX: PERSISTANCE, DEDICATION, COMPASSION, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
 
Thanks for your replies! I had a list of qualities.. I just couldn't think of a way to write them so that was more than just a list.

I ended up writing a story about a friend I made when I was in first grade and how I have grown since then.
 
i am worring over how to even start my essay..i want to basically threaten the adcom in paragraph#1...then switch to sobbing/whining/pouting in the 2nd paragraph..then round of the 3rd with begging/pleeding/seducting..the 4th with false promises/big dreams/balloning hopes..and end the 5th with case-senerios of my life!
 
Oh well, um, that is the exact opposite order I did mine in...
