<p>Hey guys, I am an upcoming senior and I am having a lot of trouble thinking of a good essay topic for the common app. I can't really think of any significant interesting life experiences and I was wondering if a hobby is a potentially good essay topic?</p>
<p>One of my biggest hobbies happens to be a trading card game, and although it may seem insignificant, I feel it HAS had an impact on my life. It has helped me meet new people as well as connect with old friends. In fact, right now, it is practically the glue that holds together the bond with several of my friends. </p>
<p>there are also many aspects to the game that I feel are important in life. It has helped me meet new people as well as make new friends. Playing against someone really helps you to gain a better understanding of their character, their tendencies, and the way they think. it has also helped me to understand who I am as a person.</p>
<p>this hobby has become a part of my life to the point where I buy/sell cards to make a profit, and this also introduces an ethical issue. A lot of people buy cards for cheap and sell em for high. that's just business, but it also means you are in a way "ripping someone off."</p>
<p>these were just a whole bunch of ideas i had for this specific topic. ANY constructive suggestions/ criticism would be helpful! please lemme kno if this can be a good essay.</p>
