Today, I wrote the most beautiful college application essay ever, ten minutes before the online deadline. Instead of clicking "submit", I clicked the button next to it that said "return". The entire essay vanished into internet wasteland. FML

ydi for not taking the proper time to write the application. And for writing it in the browser. and for not turning it in earlier.

Learn a lesson, maybe? COPY AND PASTE FROM A DOCUMENT!

thats unfortunate. but ydi for trusting the internet. never trust the internet. (or computers in general)

dude! ydi 1)for waiting 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE DEADLINE to send it. even if you clicked send, it might've crashed because everybody is stupid and waits till the deadline, and 2) for not copying & saving it before doing anything. fail.

That button is the ACTUAL test to see if you belong at that college. Honestly, would you expect them to heavily recruit kids who couldn't find the Submit button? Ah, nevermind. If you have the tuition money, they still want you.

OP : You Fail in So Many Ways... A. 99.9% of High School Seniors are smart enough to write their College App in a Word Document and then copy and paste it into the actual application. Also, most take more than 15 Minutes to write their College Essay. I doubt yours was the most beautiful college application ever. Fail #1. B. I'm pretty sure that all College Deadlines in the United States are in November for Early Decision, and January for Regular Decision. Not in October. Fail #2. I could go on... but I think that's enough.

YDI for not writing it in Word then pasting it like the rest of us do.

Sad. I wonder what else is in the internet waste land

This is why you always copy and paste into a word document/notepad and save it
