Have you ever been asked to complete your college homework assignments in very short time? What did you do? Did you start writing with confidence, only to find yourself stuck by the end of the first paragraph?

Here is what I do when there’s no one to write my essay for me. This article will walk you through 6 simple steps to writing a successful college essay that will be sure to impress your teacher and get you that A grade you deserve without having to pay for essay!

1) Brainstorm a List of Topics

Once you’ve identified an essay prompt and collected your thoughts, you’ll want to brainstorm a list of topics that could potentially be developed into an interesting essay. If you choose something too broad, you may struggle for enough specific information and examples later on; if you choose something too narrow, there may not be enough material in that narrow subject area for an entire essay. So as always, it’s important to strike a balance between breadth and depth when choosing a topic or list of topics.

2) Read the Prompt Carefully

This sounds simple enough, but it can often be easy to overlook. In college admissions essays, there are often multiple prompts and sub-prompts. Make sure you read each and every prompt carefully before you get started on your essay. There’s nothing worse than writing an entire essay without realizing you actually wrote it in response to a different prompt! For example, one of my high school students was given two prompts to write about: Describe a situation where you set a goal and were able to achieve it and What are some ways that you have helped others? How did these experiences shape who you are today? The student responded to both prompts with one very long story about how she had volunteered at her church helping others through their grief process after they lost loved ones.

3) Draft an Introduction

Once you’ve done some brainstorming and figured out what kind of essay you want to write, it’s time to get down and dirty. Start by writing an introduction that briefly explains why you are choosing to write about your topic. It might be hard for admissions officers (and future employers) to truly understand why you care about these topics unless they read your introduction first. Be sure include all these elements in your introduction: who, what, where, when, why, and how? What do you plan on doing? Who will benefit from your work? Where will you do it? When is it due? Why should we care and how will you go about accomplishing your goals.

5) Start at Step 1 (Brainstorm) Again

To get your creative juices flowing, grab a piece of paper and just start listing ideas. These aren’t necessarily essay topics yet—they’re whatever you think would be interesting. There are no wrong answers here. Then, look at each of those ideas individually, and ask yourself: why is it interesting? What makes it intriguing? Is there any potential in applying it to an essay? If so, make a note of it! Repeat until you have at least six different ideas for essays.

6) Proofread, Proofread, Proofread

One of the most common reasons essays are rejected is spelling and grammar errors. Before you submit your essay, have it proofread by someone else and then proofread it again yourself. Nothing screams amateur more than mistakes in your essay! If you don’t know anyone who can help, consider using an online proofreading service like Grammarly. You can also use Microsoft Word’s spell checker or read through your essay backwards to catch any mistakes that may have slipped through (this works for any type of writing).

4) Write the Body Paragraphs

When crafting your essay, take each college’s prompts and write body paragraphs. For example, if you were applying for an engineering school and they had prompts about career goals, leadership skills, and organizations that inspired you or to which you belonged: every one of those topics can be expanded upon in a body paragraph. Spend some time brainstorming what makes each topic unique; try to create engaging language that will grab admission officers’ attention; plan out all of your ideas before writing anything down; include personal anecdotes if possible.
