<p>Rather than trying to write an essay that makes someone cry, or lets them know how brilliant one is, or how someone has been through a lot, what about using comedy in an essay?</p>
<p>It reflects my personality (hey, I drink, I party, i'm awesome), and I like to joke around. I also think that it would be good, you know, because these admissions officers have been sitting around for hours reading crap, and then they get a good laugh. And it makes you look twice at an a name.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on the matter? Good? Bad?</p>
