i'm just saying the layout won't matter because someone's going to copy and paste the words from my word document into some application type thing. an admission's officer will then spend 30 seconds reading my personal statement. and no, i think computer science might be the opposite of english meh, i'm just going to go for it thenKampframmer wrote:

I just read some of it.
Jay was 100% right about the first line. It simply had to be scrapped.
I dont know if its just google docs or my PC, but if i were you i would remove the big spacings between lines> It makes it annoying to read and it looks like a 10-year-old made it.
I have no idea what it's for and what your, so to speak, target audience is, but it is very simplistic writing so if it for anything academic i would try it spice it up a bit more vocabulary-wise, but be careful, because it could come off as forced and have an opposite effect (making it look dumber)
Maybe i should read the whole thing and all posts after and before it before i comment, but i just cba
anyway, idk. fuck writing
I guess it's alright for a college admission since their standards wont be too high for such an assignment (unless you plan on studying english).
And 'fuck writing'? Really? College material right here folks.
20 pages is a fuckload broKampframmer wrote:

No fuck writing indeed. Writing papers on shit you know inside and out just to prove you actually comprehend the class is annoying.
I would be more worried if you wouldn't know a single thing about the subject and then had to write 20 pages on it.

well in that case you hand in a collection of Warman's finest posts and you would still pass the "creative" writing assignment.
I don't think they give a shit about how well you can write, it's a simple assignment to see if you're not mentally slow.
Don't think too much of it. Your assignment is good enough to pass methinks.

well, the allnighter wouldn't be for the college essayKimmmmmmmmmmmm wrote:
it's worth it.. fix it up and go to college
i;d like to read more about how your interest sparked.. i feel like it is brushed over here^ why do you love computer science?Some kids love to play guitar, some kids love to play soccer, and others love to play video games. Personally, I love computer science. I started to learn about computer programming and reverse engineering at the age of 12 when I wanted to learn how to create cheats for computer games. After I was exposed to computer science, I studied the art of reverse engineering and the working of computers while I taught myself assembly, C++, C#, Java, and Pytho..
