"Dunderheadedness," Episode II: Adam Strikes Back
After writing 500 words of this stupid essay for academic all stars (see below), I realized that I could absolutely not stand a single additional word of BS, so I cut straight to the point with this conclusion:
"Answering the question 'Why me?' may well be impossible within the context of a truly persuasive or compelling essay. I cannot relate why I am better than the rest of the applicant pool, none of whom I know, without making gross assumptions and sounding absurdly arrogant—thereby defeating the entire purpose I hope to serve by writing this very essay. So, I have made no attempt to answer this question. Instead, I offer you this brief sketch of a restless spirit who has treated academics and life as an opportunity to immerse himself in knowledge and experiences that are as diverse and intense as possible. Whether that is justification enough for 'why me?' is an exercise left to the reader."
HA! Take that, dunderheads!!
Nice. Just makes me less enthusiastic about the whole process. I still haven't started on the application, and don't even know if I want to.
Ditto.
Well, I guess I've been guit-tripped into completing my application for Performing Arts, although I don't think I have much of a chance in this category.
Don't apply for all around, apply for other categories! You get the same amount of money for all of them! And all-around is the hardest to win! Computers & Technology, Adam!
I think some humor would be appropriate for answering this question
