Volunteering:

Other:
- Summer Internship at a ballroom dancing dress shop, but it ended really badly since my boss wouldn't give me time off to do college apps so I quit.
- I'm a popular fashion/sewing blogger and have an online store but I'm not sure if I should put that in or if that sounds really pretentious and I really dont want admission officers to be like "wow you sound like you have a big ego"
Extra Concerns (I'm sorry if this is too long):
- When I say costuming, I really mean cosplay (but I am passionate in costuming/sewing in general) however I'm afraid if I list the convention names and even the word 'cosplay' the admissions will read it and think I'm really immature. I was going to write my common app essay on it but I'm not too sure if its acceptable.
- Every time I compare my stats with my other Asian friends I feel like crap b/c I don't have any academic achievements like debate or model UN although that feels more like teenage angst and brooding..
Thank you very much!
