"What Song Describes You and Why?"

This is one of my many, many essay supplement prompts.  I have no idea what to write, but right now I'm burnt out and feel like being funny so here's a blog post about it. Gangnam Style (Psy): Because I can do also do a cool dance and plan on becoming rich and popular in the very near future! Charlene, I'm Right Behind You (Stephen Colbert): It expresses my UNDYING LOVE for your college. Devil in Disguise (Elvis): Oh yeah, I look nice on my college application, but you have no idea what I'm REALLY like >:)  I Can Take Off My Panties! (Kagamine Rin): LOL, I wonder how the college would react if I put this...

The Problem with Deadlines

When it comes to deadlines, there are two main problems: 1. I procrastinate 2. I forget I'm currently experiencing the second problem. Actually, at first it was the first problem, but somehow it developed into the second. Exactly how did this happen?  Well, for starters, I wasn't sure whether or not I was applying to Kalamazoo because it was unclear if they had a drawing specialization.  In fact, for the majority of the month, I was too lazy to even send an email.  In my defense, I'm typically I'm not this...

Mental Karoshi

Obviously my brain has never really exploded, but only because I take a break once I start getting irritated and fidgety.  Typically I have a killer headache by then.  If I kept working past that point, I'm sure this would totally happe...

Cherry Pie: The Answer to All of Life's Miseries

I originally drew this about a week after Ex-BF moved.  I was finally able to finish it once I got my Copic multiliners.  Please don't be too hard on me; this is the first thing I drew with Copic multiliners. A bit of background on this: the last time I had cherry pie was July 4th, 2008.  Ex-BF spent that entire day at my house.  When he came over, my mom was making homemade cherry pie and had red stains all underneath her fingernails.  She jokingly told him that she had just killed someone; unfortunately, Ex-BF...

ACT Scores: I am a FREAKING GENIUS

Ohhhh my god, I just got my ACT scores back. 35 in English. *Screams and jumps up and down while shaking hands* Oh my GAWD I am so freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!  I've never scored that high before, not even on a practice test!  I'm totally psyched right now.  It is safe to say that I am a total genius ^^ Typically I don't score too well on Reading because I zone out.  This time I got a 31, beating my personal best of 27 and my previous score of 24 (this was my third time taking the ACT). Math, of course, I did terribly on and only got a 23. 1st time: 19 2nd time: 25  I did REALLY bad in Science (19)...

The Red String of Fate

I've never believed in soul mates. To be perfectly honest, I don't really believe in "love" either.  From a young age, we're all brainwashed by fairytales and whatnot that our "soul mate" is out there, and that someday we're going to marry that person and live happily ever after like a princess. For the suckers who actually believe this, are you aware that the divorce rate in the US is close to 50%? That being said, how can you believe in things like "love" and "soul mates"? I know I must sound like a real downer.  I never plan on getting married.  I consider love to be a temporary mental illness. ...

Loneliness

Since Ex-BF has left, I've been a total wreck.  True, Ex-BF and I really weren't that close after we broke up.  But I always knew I could talk to him or hang out with him if I needed someone.  Even if he ignored all my calls and emails, if worst came to worse I would just show up on his doorstep ^w^  Now that he's gone I don't have anyone. Yes, I am ashamed to admit that my only friend was the egocentric idiot who broke up with me on the most important day of the year and ruined my life.  (Confession: I have...

My Fatal Flaw

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but I recently changed my screen name to Kiyatora.  (This roughly translates into "spirit of the night tiger.")  Anyway, you might be wondering why I randomly changed my username. Well, a month or so ago I googled my previous screen name just to see what came up.  Apparently 3,760 results: bands, Youtube videos...the most noticeable one was the blog name of a digital artist (not me, btw).  I wasn't even listed anywhere on the first three pages.  And here I thought my screen name was so original...seriously, I spent a really long time trying to brainstorm that name! On...

Application COMPLETE!

I've been working on essays and application stuff since right after I finished my previous post.  And I am happy to say that I am finally DONE!!!!!  I submitted my application at 11:35PM. Go on, please compliment me.  Flourish me with your flattery.  Shower me in your undying admiration.  Moreover, if you're from the Willamette admissions office, please admit me ^w^ Lol, I feel pretty proud of myself right now.  I honestly wasn't sure whether or not I'd be able to get it done.  After I finished my previous post, I was considering settling to apply for Willamette's Early Action II instead.  Then...

A Lack of Motivation

Today I'm experiencing a complete lack of motivation. Unfortunately, today is really the worst day possible for a lack of motivation, since my college application is due today and I still have to finish writing my essay -_-" Good news: I already have the rough draft done. Bad news: It seriously needs to be polished.  As in the tone needs to be more consistent.  And I need to decrease the amount of words since it's over the 500 word limit.  And I need to come up with a killer concluding paragraph.  Yeah...basically I more or less need to rewrite the entire thing. The problem is, I can't motivate myself...
