I can't decide if Carson McCullers is hotter than Collette.

Carson is the better writer though.

The Heart is An Autumn garage? .zzz..... z..zz.....

OP: Don't bug out about applications. that's the worst thing you can do. You sound like you're too dumb to do what I'm about to tell you, but calm down, realize it's waaaaaay too late to apply and have a shot at getting into a place you actually want to go to, and then start planning to apply next September.

That way you'll have everything ready by AUGUST. You'll have your apps in on the FIRST DAY you can send them in. You'll be in the FIRST 100 APPLICANTS looked at. You can go to Iowa, or Harvard, or wherever.

You're probably not going to listen, I've been where you are, I was dumb, and it's a waste of time money and effort and will just fuck yourself over. be smart.

thank you

i'm probably going to finish this one app and send it in since i've already talked to somebody about a recommendation (also because i'm too dumb to listen), but i'll actually get my shit together and try for multiple places and do this the right way for the fall

also i'm 100 some odd pages into the heart is etc and it hasn't wowed me like member of the wedding yet but john singer rules

>> No.2240599

>>2240328
john singer does rule.

go ahead and apply, that's the only way to get yourself really thinking about what you want to do and where you want to go. unless you're bianca trump it's a big investment. chooze wizely </yoda
