Something that colleges make you write in an college application in order to get a better picture of you. However, college essays take up a huge bulk of one's time due to the sheer number of them one has to do. Therefore they are the most evil thing in the world...like really, they're hell.
Joe: Hey Julie, you want to go out wit' me tonight?
Julie: No thanks Joe, I have to write FIVE COLLEGE ESSAYS AND THE DUE DATES ARE TOMORROW UGHHH!!!!

A rediculously shitty class that all college freshmen in New York City and perhaps all of the United States are required to take. It is the incarnation of all that is wrong with the world. Students are forced to relentlessly pull bullshit out of their asses and smear it on pieces of paper that are turned in for grades that will inevitably tarnish their GPA's forever.
Through association, it has become one of the most loathed and negative phrases ever to emerge from the english language. Can be used as a harsh insult that leaves the insulted party broken, teary-eyed, and in need of psychological therapy to recover.

"You know what? Your momma's such a fuckin idiot that she LIKED 'Writing the Essay' class. ZINGGGG!"
-The Yo' Momma joke to end all insults. It is the last resort and is only used as an extreme measure.

A crisis that involves an essay that is either overdue or due very soon. Often involves an all-nighter being pulled.

The state of waking up after a long night's essay writing to find out that none of the previous nights work makes any sense because you were so tired when you wrote it.
*Man wakes up and goes straight to the computer*
Man: "Oh man! What on earth did I write last night? How does that even make sense to anyone ever?"
*Later at uni, man is sitting in front of computer, friend walks up*
Friend: "Dude, you've been sitting there fixing your essay for ages! Have you got an essay hangover or something?"
Man: "Yeah man, it's chronic!"

When a person, in an attempt to get someone's contact info without directly asking them, asks another person for their help in reviewing an essay they wrote. The person asking will offer two options between printing it and giving it to them, or getting the other person's contact info and sending it to them.
Almost always results in an advantage for the person asking, as they cant lose anything if the other person is nice enough to review their essay for them, creating a foothold for the asker to get more involved.
Usually used by people who are in fear of rejection, and by asking for them to review a paper they feel that they can avoid a direct rejection and still participate in someone's life if they opt to just take the printed essay.
Ironically, even if they got someone's contact info through this, how would the person who receives the essay edit it without printing it out?

Person 1: "Hey, I wrote this essay for English class and I don't feel like showing it to the professor, can you look over it for me?"
Person 2: "Sure why not."
Person 1: "Perfect, I can either print it out for you and give it to you tomorrow, or send it to you tonight but I'd need your contact info for that."
Person 2: "Just print it and I'll look over it then."
Person 1: "Alright, thanks" (cries on the inside)
Or:
Person 1: "I just used the Essay Gambit and was able to get her contact info."
Person 2: "Why not just ask her normally?"
Person 1: "Cause I'm a pussy lmao"
Person 2: "Sure why not."
