What not to say

I am now writing my personal statement for grad school. It would be ill-advised, but I am so tempted to include the following sentence: I need to be accepted to your graduate school because I realized that I think too much to stay in my current field forever, and it's either more education or slow but certain brain-death.

It's not the most concise phrase ever, but it sure gets to the point.
