I guess what goes around comes around #. As, now, I am the one who needs help.
I have a really messed up college app and I need a lot of guidance in it. Sure, I can nail the writing and communication, but I don't exactly have a bright past and I don't know what to do with it. Is disclosure appropriate? Or is buttoning up about it the best way forward? I want to be honest, but I really don't know what's it like at ground zero. So, my app has been languishing in edit hell for a while now. What's worse is that I really don't have any clue whom to turn to.

Do you mind if I start a conversation with you?
