The Process of Scholarship Applications

On My Own- Les Miserables (I know, I know..)
September-November: Awkward essays, not really sure how to get about it, just hoping to god you get some cash
December: Fuck that, it's Christmas
January: Beautiful, heartfelt essays about challenges you've faced bringing tears to vice principals' eyes
February: Essays wrapped up with a keen hurry, trying to hand it in on that wicked day of February 15. Process involves mail-box hunting, a sport which I have began to love, when around town, you try to find and memorize the mailbox with the time most suited to you submitting your letter on time, and getting it mailed out quickly.
March-May: Go to New York, work, row, anxiously await deadlines. Occasionally find scholarships that are half-assedly entered, in reality you're waiting to get that one award with the big pay off.
End of May: "Wait, THERE'S STILL SCHOLARSHIPS??? AND THEY ALL HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED BEFORE JUNE 15TH??? AHHHHHHHH!!!!1!@" Rush and scramble to get a buttload done, completing 12 applications and essays in 2 weeks time. Run out of stamps at least once. Essays start off fresh and well-written pieces, and tumble downhill with each essay written.
June: Develop passionate loathing for talking about yourself, and writing essays. Anxiously await deadlines and keep ears perked for the mailman.
Summer: WIN!!!... I hope..
