Writing a sonnet under all "sonnetical" rules (such as iambic pentameter and rhyme scheme) and circumstances was harder than expected. Rather than taking thirty minutes, I spent around forty-eight minutes pondering and writing a sonnet concerned with senior problems. The problems I wrote about was the waiting period between college application submissions and acceptance. It focuses on the anxiety and fear that an impatient senior undergoes whilst waiting the envelopes. Hearing others read their sonnets and reading mine aloud was entertaining.
