Making yourself sit down and write essays, whether for scholarship or college applications, is no small task. It can take a lot of discipline and dedication. To set yourself up for success, try thinking about what environments you study best in. Maybe you like working at your desk in your bedroom, or maybe you need to go to the local library for peace and quiet. Once you know where you’re going to study, come up with a game plan. Etch out a specific time in your schedule when you’re going to write. You can even ask one of your parents or a friend to hold you accountable to actually using that time to write.
