I could literally have written the exact same post.


I have heard that it takes weeks to write and polish college essays...


It might take weeks if you start early enough. If you procrastinate, it can be done in a few hours.

Do you have a student who is applying to MS or HS magnet programs and STILL haven't finished his/her application essay(s)? DC is still working on essays and has assured me that it will all be done by midnight tonight, and that some of his friends are in the same shoes! Really? Why am I having a hard time believing that? I am trying to be chilled and not be a helicopter mom but frankly I am feeling mildly panicked right now.
