<p>Here is my idea for a topic:
I write a vivid description of a cross-country race from start to finish but when I get to the point where the pain becomes nearly unbearable and I wonder "Why am I doing this?" I flashback to my motivation for starting running in the first place, what I have learned from it, and how it has changed me, then flash back to the end of the race, realization that it is worth it. Is this too cliche? Would the flow be too confusing? </p>
<p>PS: my essay writing would be better than the horrible grammar of this post, i tend to ramble when trying to get my thoughts down</p>
<p>Too cliche. Don’t do it.</p>
<p>I realize that writing about a sports experience is cliche, but if you take a different approach wouldn’t that help?</p>
<p>How could you make a sports essay that wasn’t cliche? I really want to write about cross-country b/c I feel it would be something I could write a very passionate essay about.</p>
<p>I would suggest that rather than making the whole essay about cross country, you write about a general topic (Interesting one!) and allude cross country to support your thinking in it rather than make it your main focus!</p>
<p>Just my two cents! :D</p>
<p>It sounds like it would be a non-linear cliche. However, all college essays are cliche. My tip is to write what you know and how you truly feel to make it easier on yourself. People who spends too much time thinking of an original topic usually don’t succeed. So if the cross country theme is honest then do it!</p>
<p>“Topics aren’t cliche, it’s how you handle the topic that becomes cliche”.</p>
<p>If it’s well written, then it will not seem cliche.</p>
