<p>starting a thread on essays - would like to see exactly how many people wrote about a "cliche" topic i.e. - passion for a certain EC or "taboo" topic i.e. - apparently suicide.</p>
<p>what was your essay topic? =D</p>
<p>Pleaaaase! Thanx in advance for any replies!</p>
<p>The relationship between my little brother and me and his struggle with ADHD.</p>
<p>The only EC I hold national recognition in: binge drinking.</p>
<p>i had this metaphor about track. when i was in 7th grade i did hurdles for track and at the first meet i fell over all of the hurdles (i mean every single one- it was really embarrassing), but i continued the race. so i compared my overcoming of the hurdles with perseverance to how i approach life (always overcoming hurdles). and then i briefly discussed how i am blind in one eye...</p>
<p>I had the most random topic ever. It was about am/was short and skinny, and I can't gain any weight.</p>
<p>e.e; <em>can't tell which ones are real or not</em> .. i know harvard acceptees are weird but................ lol j/k...</p>
<p>o.O ok seriously, i think divanny was serious, deity obviously not, hotpiece, first part possibly serious.. flipsta.. totally can't tell..</p>
<p>I DO NOT APPRECIATE MILD SARCASM >:O at least not when i'm looking for a serious answer @.@</p>
<p>yubi, mine was completely serious. i am blind in one eye. my right eye to be exact.</p>
<p><em>cough</em> hot hasn't added me to facebook <em>cough</em></p>
<p>And yes Yubi! Because I <3 you. However, it might be more difficult to believe my essay topic for U of Chicago - Frosting. Cake frosting, to be exact. Silly, but it got me their only full ride scholarship.</p>
<p>haha hotpiece!! that's so cool!! is it a different color or one actually can't tell =O what color do you see stuff in!?!?</p>
<p>divaaaaaanny <em>cries</em> I <3 you too!! lol that's totally awesomely cute!!!! cake frosting.. just the thought of it makes you like that person.. <em>connives</em> lol jk, don't wanna "jock" your topic =) but .. no matter what <em>can't resist that cuteness</em></p>
<p>Divanny, somehow my facebook doesn't work today. every time i try to log in it says "Invalid username/password" and then when i do the "forgot password" function, it doesn't recognize my email address. so i haven't been on facebook all day.</p>
<p>and yubi, no one can tell that I'm blind in my right eye. it looks completely normal. and i see everything in it's correct color.</p>
<p>oooh lol i read it wrong, i thought you were Color blind in one eye. ! hmm i sense an interesting story behind that, unless it was a birth defect? lol either way, coolness ^^</p>
<p>Jock away, I only sent it to Chicago. However, I don't think Harvard would have responded as well as those kooky people in Chicago. Excuses excuses...</p>
<p>yubi, i was born with an intense (but relatively common) muscle weakness in my right eye. i was supposed to wear a patch growing up (to correct the problem), but i always took it off (because of constant teasing from the other kids). so yeah, i guess you could say that it is a birth defect perpetuated by childhood cruelty. i'm completely over it now though. i wear contacts so i can see perfectly fine.</p>
<p>My essay topic was for real. I made it funny and stuff, and the adcom said she liked it...</p>
<p>I talked about how when I saw Bizet's Carmen, I turned to a life of meditation.</p>
<p>lol ok, from now on i'm going to assume that everyone's essay topics are real =) which is no surprise even though they're all highly awesome and unique! <-- need i say?? lol harvard forever! (hopefully all my school patriotism won't go down the drain ='( )</p>
<p>thank you for all the replies! and it's really given me insight and direction on how i should write =) so thanx again!</p>
<p>I talked about how I used to make fun of this one Mexican kid in elementary school so that I could be cool, then years later, he was my boss at my new job.</p>
<p>I talked about a certain magnet on my refrigerator. It came alive, and we had a whole dialogue going. Fun stuff.</p>
<p>Mine was about pitch frequencies, and trying to carry a tune (I can't sing or whistle).</p>
<p>thanks for all your responses.. =p though i highly doubt joker's (i've seen your posts before) and finale's</p>
