My perhaps topic:

<p>So heres my topic I've been mulling over lately: academic team. I don't want to be the life changing experience or the worked hard for it essay. I'm just going to aim for the angle of the pleasures, squeals (i'm serious), jokes, friendships and how it keeps me half sane in a school of hormonal driven teenagers.</p>

<p>Or. </p>

<p>Since I've worked at a restaurant since I was 11, I want to write "in the day of". So kinda like people i've dealt with, stories I've heard, talking about the weather, etc. Lesser knowledge I've gained from it: no matter who it is and what the story is, it starts with a simple smile and a talk about the weather.</p>

<p>So are these too cliche?</p>

<p>It is not the topic that makes cliche. It is the writer that makes cliche.</p>

<p>Virtually any topic can make for a good essay. Virtually any topic can make for a poor one. </p>

<p>If either of your topics can allow you to be personal, detailed, honest, and revealing, and it sounds like they can, then you can use either to write a successful essay.</p>
