I have a college application essay due tomorrow and I'm 200 words under the limit. I've said everything I have to say. My friend said "just add more fluff" but my English teacher always says "fluff is obvious."
What actually works? I tried adding more examples but now I'm just listing things. My mom said to describe things more, like instead of "I was nervous" say "my hands were shaking and my heart was pounding." That actually helped a little.
Any other tricks? I need 200 words and I'm desperate.
