soooo. i’m working on college essays. i have too many topics. all of them are horrible. i’m writing a few essays just to see if any of them happen to turn out well. i don’t know what to write about. for various colleges that ask for something along the lines of “500 words about yourself” what topic do you think i should chose and why?
a) volunteering on my father’s campaign for local office & my interest in politics (not planning on majoring in it though, just bein a good citizen) … also volunteered for Kerry, participated in trip to washington w/ school, volunteered for NARAL, too many things to fit all of them in the essay but i suppose it is a big part of “who i am”
b) my house, my family, & i. very messy house. very funny family. we are all bff and barely ever fight for real, it always turns out as a big joke.
c) a character that a write a lot of creative writing pieces about for english class that is a lot like me, but crazier. she says and does what i would be to shy to say/ do. i enjoy writing about her now whereas english used to be my least fav subject.
d) sledding. the most fun thing to do. ever. seriously… just my idea of a perfect afternoon. go out sledding w/ friends, come inside and drink hot chocolate and bake cookies. when colleges say they want to hear something about you, anything… is that an acceptable topic?
sooo, what do you think??
