GOOD LUCK. I'll try to swing by occasionally and offer motivatig words, hahaha!

I would read it! Especially if it includes snarky in-character essays that you would never dare to actually submit, lol.

Ok guys, you won't believe it, but I actually DID write a college app for part of the story xD This is the character's first draft, and it was really awkward to try my hardest to write in the character's perspective, then critique it from the school counselor's perspective. Maybe you guys can help lolol.

Essay: Spoiler
I don’t like my hometown. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and all the rose-tinted memories I carry so dearly. My hometown Himawari is a small town, an hour north of Lavender City. The fields are filled with wheat and the mountains are covered in evergreens. But it’s so boring. Growing up, I went to a small school. It had less than 50 students total throughout grades 1 to 6. Because of that, everyone knew everyone. While it was nice to have such a strongly tight knit community, that meant rumors travelled just as fast. It felt like there was no privacy. My decision to move to Lavender City at the age of 16 was a hard one. I had to give up my friends and family and go to a place that I was unfamiliar with. However, it was also a decision that had I done it again, I would choose to do so without hesitation over a hundred times. I’ve gotten to experience a world eons bigger than my small hometown of less than 10,000. The first month I was there, everything was exciting. The density, the business, the endless lights that never sleep, they were all things that I had never seen before. It was hard to adjust, but it was also easy to adjust. Now that I’ve experienced a world so much bigger than my previous one, I have gotten curious as to how big the world really is. Even just an hour away from my hometown is a giant city illuminated by a sea of light, filled to the brim with people from all walks of life. Imagine what it would be like if I were to move to an actually large city. Humans are social animals and our society grows just like we do. We go from our family when we’re born to friends from the neighborhood in kindergarten, to friends by the street in elementary school, to friends from the district in high school. Then, in University, our society grows even bigger, with friends from all over the country, and even the world. So, while I have experienced my very own society grow exponentially, I still believe that there is still a vast world to explore. Sure, change isn’t easy. It comes with adjustment, isolation, and even discrimination. However, I’ve been doing fine. Fine. And, now that I’ve experienced life outside the pond, I can’t go back. I don’t like my hometown. Does that mean I hate it? No. It will still always be my hometown. Somewhere that I grew up in. Somewhere that I frolicked through the grass. Somewhere that my childhood remains. However, that is all it will remain to be. Someday, I might go back. Who knows. However, I would still like to try, if possible, to live outside the pond as long as possible. Search for a lake, then a river, then an ocean. I want to experience the vastness of the Ocean.
