<p>hello everyone!!!
im in the middle of filling the common app and reached to the essay part and I have no idea what to write about
ANY IDEAS???
thank you</p>
<p>umm, well, preferably about your self 
and more preferably, something exciting about yourself
also, make it deep but not too poignant (don’t write any essays about a dead pet or your summer trip, because those are trite and insipid, unless you are creative and invent a new way of writing those stories)</p>
<p>If you talking about the first essay, then explain one of your extracurricular activities in greater detail</p>
<p>I’m guessing your talking about the personal statement?</p>
<p>In that case, follow the advice of the above poster.</p>
<p>Start with a list of the most enjoyable/memorable things you have done in your life so far. They do not have to be extreme like “curing cancer” "building a village in a third world nation (unless you can write something meaningful about the experience); hell you can even write about how stubbing your toe made you want to become a podiatrist
you can choose a cliche topic but make it your own!</p>
