- In retrospect, there were 5 key elements to my Common App personal essay / college essay / personal statement (aka the dreaded stressor of college applications) that made me feel confident in what I had written. The timestamps for those tips as well as the section in which I go over my essay that got me into my current school, the University of Chicago, are below!

about me 🌷
I’m Makayla! I’m nineteen years old, a rising second year at the University of Chicago, and a Creative Writing and (prospective) Global Studies double major.
Some of my favorite pastimes are reading, cooking, writing, violin, ping pong, and studying. I have an older brother, step-siblings, three dogs, and I grew up in Maine.
I’m a 5w4 INTJ and in love with Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, and Sherlock, so I can always talk about these all day long!!

How many hours do you study at home on holidays?
Usually I don't have to study much over the holidays, but it really depends on the classes I'm taking! If I get a lot of homework then maybe an hour or so each day? This is a VERY rough estimate though!
