Restart

"Sometimes, the best medicine is the most bitter." - Mom

A week ago, I was ready to turn in my UC apps - my essays were "perfect" and my application was filled out. But I decided to give it to one more person to read.
She read my essay and completely tore it apart. I was about to cry, no joke. After all that hard work and time putting together my essays, I felt so devastated that someone can just rip up all my hard work in a matter of minutes. Because of this, I lost the motivation to correct them for about a week, which I regret. With a week left until the deadline, I realized I need to complete my essays. It truly sucks because I have to start from ground zero for one of the prompts :[

The quote above may sound very harsh if said to a person in need of that medicine. But looking back a few weeks ago, I completely agree. I now just have to take that medicine before its too late.
I hope that any of you reading this can realize that sometimes, the harshest of criticisms can be the most beneficial. Also, please work hard on your essays, because there is not much time left.

-best of luck


BTW, check out this song. Its pretty cool :]
