stephanierocket: These past few years have been difficult. I have battled loneliness, numbness, and self-infliction. I have known great sadness and great anger. I have been violated, beaten, and broken down. I have wished death upon others, and myself. I lost everything close to me; I watched cancer take my grandfather’s life, suffered at the hands of his death as it ate away at my heart; stood...

Okay

So I have two potential essays for my application, but can’t decide which to use. One is about when I visited the Sistine Chapel and how it inspired a spiritual epiphany that I had long awaited. The second is about attending The Rescue and receiving inspiring words from Laren Poole (co-founder of Invisible Children). The first is a personal essay I wrote last year, I’d have to...

I have an old Polaroid camera that takes 600 film.

dclovestrs: I’ve called Rite Aid, CVS, Wolf Camera, Walmart, and Target and none of them carry it. Does anyone know where you can buy it? Thanks. Or if anyone has a pack or two they would like to sell me that would be great also. That would be because Polaroid discontinued making the film. I believe it is going to be picked up by as small company, but I haven’t heard anything recently.
