Essay topics feel restrictive

<p>Does anybody else feel like the essay topics are kind of restrictive? I mean, the common app essay is really short, and the supplemental essays are short and kind of boring. I don't feel like I am able to get myself out through the application</p>

<p>did the essay topics change from last year? If so, what are they (seeing how I cannot download the common app grr lol)...</p>
