To the university that I'm going to!!!!!!
I had to write an essay so I'll post it below.



It is as though we have become infected with a virus, so sly and serpentine we have chosen to ignore it. It has crept up on us in plain sight, appearing so logical and innocent we have chosen to accept it. Why put effort into something worthwhile when one can have the same exact thing, perhaps cheapened, for little to no expense? This propaganda litters our television everyday, promising ‘the perfect body,’ ‘the best of the best,’ and anything else you could possibly want, almost instantaneously and for the low monthly payment of $9.99 (plus shipping and handling.) Yet all these false promises only cause harm, not the so-called ‘improvement’ or the peace we all long and search for. How do I know? I know this through personal experience and watching the lives of my friends and those around me.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” This quote is attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the publicist of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Many have fallen into the trap so described, including myself. As a young girl I was plagued with the thoughts that I wasn’t good enough, that somehow I needed to be thinner, smarter, and more beautiful. Instead of working out I turned to diet pills, anorexia, and bouts of bulimia. Those days will always be a part of me, will somehow always be there in the back of my mind, something that tugs at my heartstrings every now and then to whisper in my ear and remind me of my failures. Instead of taking the time to work out, to lose weight through my own sweat and determination, I chose the “fast route” the “easy way out” and turned to eating disorders. I have seen so many of my friends and so many young girls today, fall into the same trap that I did. I have seen friends turn to drugs when they are sad, to gain an easy high, a fake “happiness” and have seen their lives crumble beneath them.
Only through God am I here today, only through his strength, his love, and divine mercy has he guided me through that depression in my life. Right now he is leading me closer to him and is guiding my footsteps to FUS. In FUS not only will I be in an environment where people adore our Lord, I will also be taking classes with a bases on God and his divine mercy. I will have a Catholic mentor, mass everyday filled with hundreds of other students who will support me in my endeavor to find Christ, but I will also have the Blessed Sacrament in my dorm. Not only will these things help me stay with God, they will also give me the ammunition to fight against the lies and to grow stronger in my faith. Of course there will always be trials and tribulation, but I am hoping that the example set in FUS will arm me with the knowledge to combat those in my life to come.
