<p>I was reflecting today about my fall and realized, I really miss discussing college essays with people. I really liked Carolina's fill-in-the-sentence essays, as well as their longer ones. I was just wondering what you all wrote about? It might help everyone who's waiting to hear RD feel less stressed. Listen to me rationalize.</p>

<p>And just as I'm writing this, I was thinking about some of the more common 'least favorite celebrity from the past 50 years,' and remembered that a number of people I knew put down Anna Nicole Smith. ... How eerie it must be to have written that!</p>

<p>haha i put O.J. Simpson and a month later he is all over the news with his new book "not saying i did kill her but if i did, this is how i would have done it" (something like that). kinda ironic if you ask me - same as Anna Nicole Smith</p>

<p>creepy...</p>

<p>After thinking pretty hard about it I put down Tom Cruise because he 'represents all the unjustified authority of celebrity.' It was weird to me because I couldn't think of too many other famous people who infuriate me physically as much as he does. Not Anne Coulter, not George Bush. Tom Cruise. I almost find my answer worrying.</p>

4

<p>Ah, I put Ann Coulter. I thought I was being relatively creative at the time, until I saw on the UNC 2011 facebook group that at least 10 other people had put her.</p>

7

<p>I put "The Man"</p>

8

<p>Am I weird for having put John Steinbeck?</p>

9

<p>Geraldo Rivera</p>

10

<p>Why did you put Steinbeck? I know so little about him, but I read 'The Pearl' when I was in 7th grade and have always felt close to that passage about luck.</p>

11

<p>I put Terrel Owens (Eagles fan).</p>

12

<p>What did Steinbeck do? (no, seriously, what did he do?)</p>

13

<p>I put Jason Isaacs because I'm strange and just couldn't stand his character in The Patriot... I mean I know he was supposed to be the bad guy but I guess I'm just odd.</p>

14

<p>yep the guy told me paris hilton was most popular</p>

15

<p>What did everyone put for their favorite trivia fact?</p>

16

<p>haha, I put Paris Hilton</p>

<p>Trivia fact: a calorie is the energy it takes to heat a cc of water from 14 degrees C to 15 degrees C.
Hope it's right!? I think it is ;)</p>
