I have the story, but not the skills to finesse it and put it together in the right words. Have you ever hired someone to write your essay? It feels wrong to go that route because then it's not 'my own', but isn't it worth taking the help of a good writer to make my story/my words better suited for the reader's pleasure? What are your thoughts?

Someone to fully write your essay? No, that’s unethical. If you go that route, you will have cheated your way to your spot (assuming you get in). That said, it is fully ethical to get help to structure your essay to maximize the impact of the stories you tell / flow. From there, they can help you edit.

Getting help to polish your essay isn’t uncommon, but it’s best to keep the core story and ideas yours. Think of a good writer as an editor who helps clarify and refine your message, not someone who writes it for you. Authenticity matters a lot in applications.

Looking for a suggestion for a date spot that would be convenient and a good halfway meeting point: i’m in Murray Hill and my date is coming from Astoria. I usually have my dates meet me here when they live in Manhattan but I think somewhere halfway would be more fair in this case. Ideas?

Since we're headed towards cold weather and the holiday season, let's talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the fall/winter and beyond. For example, I'm buying a sun lamp because it's about to be 50 degrees and raining for 6 months 🤦🏻‍♀️.
