ah tysm for responding <3 I stress way too much haha. Part of me is also hoping that a lot of you will recognise my style from the site too, as my work tends to show a completely different side to me, that you can also use to see that my style is flexible :3 (minus the emojis and abbreviations). 

That makes me feel a lot better. The blog post doesn't feature as much of the language (except for the comments) as I wanted to make it so that people could learn from it and not feel intimidated by the language :3. If anything does need clearing up in the college essay, though, feel free to message me anytime. It is likely I won't use language like that in articles unless it was for something such as, explaining the language etc. 

Haha, I'm really glad. I do wish I had more of an array to send in but a lot of my writing has been work-based the past couple of years and it's only recently I've had chance and the headspace to write my own stuff. The only other thing I have is my recent personal statement for my university application which I do think is less formal and is about a different topic (though reading essentially 2 applications wouldn't be the best thing xD). 

I'll try though the team as been a VP dream of mine since I joined so it's hard not to haha. I am having fun though - its a good stress x3 
(sorry for the long reply)

Is it okay that one of my writing examples is fairly technical? 
I have 3 examples; creative writing, a VP blog post and a college essay. The essay uses a lot of technical film talk but it's one of the best I have atm. The blog post is also film related, is that okay?

(I'm sorry, I just worry that you may think I'm a one-trick pony or that I can only write very 'stiff'. I don't have many laid-back posts though I feel my 3 examples kinda show that: the creative is the least formal, the blog is medium and the essay is most?) 

<3

EDIT: I am currently working on a blog post that is less formal than the one I have & it's about cartoons. I'm not sure if it'll be finished in time for the applications though I can try to finish it if you feel you would like to see a laid back piece of writing? :3

haha gdgd x3 
Must have been one heck of an essay <33 :3 what was it about, if I may ask? (I'm just generally curious it doesn't benefit my application at all :3)

If I remember correctly, it was an essay about why I agree with someones article about how same sex parenting has little effect on how a child is raised.

ooh, I bet that's really interesting.
We always look into stuff like that in my Sociology class :3 

Mine's about the way that Sound and Editing is used in the last 4 minutes of the film "Whiplash". It was a bitch to write (they're my worst of all the categories) but I'm still really proud of how it came out and felt it was the best out of all the ones I had on my computer :3
