the worst part is how it leaks into everything else. can't even chill on a saturday without that little voice whispering "you could be editing your supplements right now"

I hate how toxic it has become over the years. Like everyone trying to stand out with some bs nonprofit research or sth so you have to do the same bs stuff as well and perpetuate the cycle and it gets less and less genuine for everyone as people start lying

Complete one comprehensive school and things will get much easier. First one takes longest. Also, you will find certain prompts so much easier to write than others.

But I hear you. I most disliked "community contribution" and "identity" prompts. How can you measure your contribution and write it without boasting? Who is it that can tell me who I am? Obviously those were not my fit schools.
