<p>I read that colleges like to see you write about a mundane topic and bring it to life. It suggested topics like the subway ride to school and family dinner conversations. I've been drafting a few essays about everyday things like that, but I'm struggling to fit in revelations about myself. The actual essay is well written so far, but I'm at the point where I need to add some details(personal reflections/lessons) that would make a college want to accept me. It's hard to describe, but if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Basically, I've heard that you can write a good college essay about anything. I've heard of people writing strong essays about the randomest topics -- their love of cheese, a trip to mcdonalds, a bus ride. My question is how do you reveal yourself in a positive way while writing about impersonal topics like these? How do you go about adding things about yourself that make you attractive to colleges in this type of essay?</p>
