Statement of Purpose A.K.A. the who what now?

[Doc ock rokc]

it honestly saddens me how little people care about this

I'm pretty sure your GPA and whatever references from various professors you've had in undergraduate studies count for x1000000000000000000 more than this Statement of Purpose.

Like you know what it honestly reminds me of? The essay portion of your senior project you did in high school. Like, if you fucking, repainted the lobby, or whatever the fuck free-ass-labor/forced-charity thing you did, were they really going to keep you from graduating because your essay wasn't up to snuff?

I'd repeat this statement for the entire idea of a senior project if I wasn't 100% sure at least one person here took their senior project seriously and like, fucking, helped children with no hands write hand-made Christmas cards for the families of dead troops, or, whatever the hell thing that one kid in your class did that made the principal get on your shit when you just tried to do something easy like organize a student-faculty basketball game or volunteer at the YMCA on weekends and weeknights for a few months.

I care, but my honest advice would revolve around writing "how to write a statement of purpose" in the google searchbar. I figured statement-of-purpose madlibs were more fun.

Fenris, I mostly want to give you negarep for pretty much just editing the one in the mod forum of someone else and sticking my name on there, but it's just so damn accurate.

P.S. Thanks for getting my good side.

Write about how old you arenot, and how no one at your age should know what they're doing or what they want to do, and what you want most is to figure out what's really important in life and how you're going to do it, and you don't care if it takes twenty years or fifty to find those answers, because it's important to do these things right.

Man, that pic has been going around for ages featuring a bunch of people. Me included, I believe!

Though wait, if it started life in the mod forum, who'd it depict there?

[Aldurin]

Everyone who doesn't have access to the mod forum.

Here's a crazy idea.

Write down why you're applying.
