RedPandaI can't seem to figure out what to write for my essay for my UW application that's due next Monday. I need help NS! The prompt is: "What goes unnoticed in your life?"
I straight up have no idea where to start, and I think I might be getting too stuck on the literal terms of what they're asking, and I'd like to see if I could get some different perspectives on it.
Is there anything you're good at or like to do, but nobody seems to give a shit about it? For me I XC bike a lot, alone, and I never post about it on social media. It's a major part of my life, completely hidden away from most.

Possibly talk about things about you that goes unnoticed to your teachers, colleges you apply to, etc? How there is more to a person than their academic life

thats nothing, here is one i have to answer "describe a time when you were in a leadership position and had to make a difficult decision". It is straight forward and all but what sub 25 year old has ever really had to make a difficult decision while in a leadership position, did. Just pisses me off so badly because you know everyone will just bullshit some story, which i guess is what i am also going to have to do as well

I wrote an article for another ski site... and it was posted today. It's had over 40k reads and been shared over 200 times on facebook now. The comments people are posting are priceless. I'm super happy.
Lé.SkiingPretty sure my brothers business just got ripped off for over $4,000 worth of shit we bought.
(So here's the story) We had a supplier who we have dealt with before(Only problems we had before were the colors on the order were mixed up a bit). We ordered a few small orders from them just to check and see how good they were and everything. So we made a big order all they sent us an old computer monitor(We bought eCig stuff) and a couple of packs of random coils we didn't even order from them. It was done through paypal, and the payment for the product was made over 45 days ago and paypal doesn't do any about transactions over 45 days(in their user agreement says a dispute must be filed within 45 days of purchase).
More development in the story.
The guy who we got ripped off from was apparently an Ex-employee from the eCig company we ordered from. Made up a fake business with the same name as the company he worked for previously. He ripped off more than just us, and the company he used to work for found out about his little stunt he pulled. Right now we have no idea about compensation, but the guy is most likely going to jail for a while. We're hoping(fingers crossed) the company decides to give us some sort of compensation for an ex-employee of theirs(also using their business name) screwing us out of more than $4,000 worth of stuff.
DeebieSkeebiesutah has to have some of the worst drivers in the nation. some of the shit these mormons pull in automobiles is insane.
Speaking of Utah drivers, this is from skiierman's facebook. I lol'ed:
Dear Utah driver,
I'm sorry you got so angry at me that you had to put down your phone to flick me off and honk your horn because you were going to hit me head on and you were forced to swerve. But oh my dear sweet Utah driver, when you're driving in the middle of the road, everyone is going to seem like they're in your way.

Easy. What goes unnoticed is the amount of opportunities you have. Think about how lucky you are to even have a chance to go to college. Most of the world would kill for your position and you, like 99% of us, take that shit for granted. The oppotunities in America and amazing and seemingly endless yet we very seldom realize so. If you write about that you will seem humble which is something that is lacking in many young people.

Also spinal anatomy is on my mind
fuck that was good, do my difficult decision one next
Dr.LaurentIf you are not flying often you will have no award miles and you probably don't have enough time to grab some credit card miles so no need to take that in account.
Cheapest is to fly to any NY airport and then take a flight to Germany with a connecting flight to Italy, the US-GER route is usually the cheapest (Or US-ESP but then the flight to IT will be more expensive, so in most cases GER will win out)
If you fly from JFK to Dusseldorf with Air Berlin and then Dusseldorf to let's say Milan with Air Berlin that will be roughly € 400 for a return. I'm not really versed on inter-USA-traffic but considering that Calgary is not a big hub your best bet will be to go from Seattle to NY, which will probably be around 250-300 for a return.
If you want to spend money there are flights that go straight from Milan, or just be a baller and travel First.
Thanks! I actually just spent the rest of my Skymiles on an upcoming trip so just buying tickets will have to do. But I'll definitely be looking for some deals this way.

Leadership is relative. Just because what you may be leading isnt important im the grand scheme of life does not mean that it is irrelevant. For instance, being the leader could be something as simple as making a decision on a boyscout camping trip. You were the head scout and had to decide where camp should be set up for the night to best avoid the elements. The potential for disaster is real if you choose a shitty spot. You play sports? Talk about an in game decision you made that was risky but you weighed outcomes and decided the risk was worth the reward.
Yours is a little tougher because I dont know your experiences. Keep in mind what i first said, at your age you most likely have never made a serious leadership decisions with legit ramifications.

wow, thank you. You are first person who has actually given me good advice about that question. My own mom just stared blankly when i asked her for advice and finally advised i just make something up and everyone else would just agree with me that it is a hard question

I would make something up. Just dont make it too elaborate or they will know its BS. I really like the boy scout idea if you were in scouts.
spliff.LifeIm kind of starting a company, if you will, but I need to figure out how to sell stuff (like shirts). More like I am very passionate about making/painting professional art and screen printing but have no motivation for anything beyond creative mind and production part of it. "sigh" Oh life, i knew this was coming

That's what I was thinking. If you asked me, you're writing for the grade and that's it. Why does it matter if it's truthful? You just want to write a good paper, so defend the point of view that will enable that, or tell a story that will help make it easy, even if you don't necessarily support the point of view or the story never happened to you. Maybe you weren't captain of your team in real life, but you might as well be for the paper.
And like whoever said, some sports decision might be better than something cliche. Maybe the teacher will be like, oh, that's a creative definition of leadership. I like it, A++++++. As long as you convince them that some leading was done, then you'd be good.
Fresh cream from a local farm nearby and I use one of those "pro" things with cartridges I originally got for inflating NO balloons. Inserting those chargers makes you feel manly as fuck in a very middle-class domestic way.
CamembertDid you add dark rum? Its the best!
Also, that mug looks a bit cheap for your style Lawrence
There may or may not have been some plebian Bailey's in there.
Mugs actually not cheap, it's from a local pottery farm, I got it because the design is very simple, it's massive and it's sides are thicker then the walls of a grade-II listed Edwardian pumphouse, it's my comfy mug for comfy times.
