I've been needing to start working on my applications, but every time I think about it, I get stressed out. I applied last year, so I have some materials to work from. My problem right now is my statement of purpose. The one I wrote last year is decent, but there is a lot of room for improvement. I always find it difficult to write about myself, so I think that's my main issue. A few of the schools I'm applying to also require a writing sample and I have no idea what to submit for that.
I'll be glad when this whole process is over.
