Need to come up with 1,000 logical words about why I want to go to graduate school that does not contain any of the following phrases:

The Introvert, originally uploaded by h.koppdelaney.

[WARNING: introspective stuff ahead. Read at your own risk]

I wish life sometimes had a reset button. I wouldn&#8217;t use it for my entire life &#8211; just certain friendships, certain decisions, certain statements.
