<p>Thanks for the support mhartmann! I was being purposely vague on what club and what we do (for fear of other 08'ers lol) but I am really passionate about it and I think it can be good.</p>
<p>I am all in favor of the "choose your own" topic (that's what I'm doing!). It does seem kind of strange that they offer you these specific topics, and then give you a total out, but after some thought, I think I understand.</p>
<p>I think the other topics are listed so that if you really don't have any particularly brilliant essay topic, you can choose one of theirs and write about that. Their questions are designed to have unique, interesting answers that reveal you. So I think they are a good idea if you don't have something crucial of your own to talk about.</p>
<p>Yea that's what I figured out eventually lol. I think I was really overthinking it but now I have a topic so its all good!</p>
<p>if you pick your own topic, it either means you have strong character and would like to share something really meaningful to you... or you already wrote one and are to lazy to re-write another one!</p>
<p>hahaha that is halarious</p>
