I feel like my writing has improved dramatically this cycle

I'm a reapplicant, and my application is very different this cycle. Last cycle, I was applying after my second year of college, and now I'm applying after my third and final year of college. Maybe it's that experiences matured me, but I look back on my last cycle's essays and they're so much worse than my current (pre-)writing. Any other reapplicants feel the same way?
