Dear my flist:

I am filling out a scholarship application ATM for a scholarship that you can only apply for if you have a career GPA of 3.6 or more. I have a 4.0, and they want me to write a 500 word essay on why I deserve the scholarship.

...

I HONESTLY just want to say BECAUSE I HAVE A 2 SEMESTER STRAIGHT BACHELOR'S LEVEL 4.0, DUH.

Anyway, my '

I never actually got any of the scholarships I applied for which is why I have 15K in loans to pay off so I might not be the best person to give advice, but depending on what it's for, I'd start by playing up the qualities you have that apply to that, like, idk, "I understand business ventures are complicated and sometimes risky. I've learned many things running my own online store and with the help of this scholarship, I could learn more." or something (though that kind of reads like a resume cover letter too doesn't it? hrm.) And there's always the helpful "determination and perseverance" examples that go along with having a 4.0 GPA.

Basically I am no help at all but I wish you luck!

LOL, this is why I suck at this - that is probably a good suggestion but all I can think is OMG WHAT IS THAT ICON?!?! O.O

I just ... I HAVE THE 4.0. It is for people with good grades. I am a person with a perfect grade. GIVE ME THE MONEEEEEEEEY.

Hahahaha it was the first icon that came up when I clicked random. Queer as Folk! Brian Kinney + Glitter = OTP.

You just have to elaborate on WHY grades are important and WHY and HOW you've kept up that 4.0. Also, fucking jealous of your 4.0 jsyk. Dang girrl.

Lol, well, thank you, but believe me, it's not without sacrifices ... like hours at work AKA MONEY, which is why I'm broke now, hence me NEEDING DA MONEEEEY. *headdesk*

But srsly. I won't give you a heart attack by telling how much my student loan is, but it is just a hair less than 1/2 of my entire mortgage, let's just put it that way. *bites nails* Also, when I graduate ... I will be able to SEW!! :D :D

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

If I wasn't having so much freaking fun in my program, I'd be hy... hyperve....*passes out*

[alwaysenduphere]

Lol. BUT YOU WILL LOOK MORE IMPORTANT WITH THAT DEGREE ON YOUR RESUME. And that's what matters.

Or so I'm told. /still bitter about my own college experience

[tahirire]

Heh. I feel you thar. *hugs*
