Richmond essay prompt 3

hey guys! the prompt 3 essay for uni of Richmond says,“You are required to spend the next year in either the past or the future. To what year would you travel and why? 650 words” is it ok to write that I don’t want to go to the past nor the future and want to stay in the present? thanks

The prompt says ‘required’, so probably a good idea to follow the directions. But you could possibly add in something about liking the present best

Yes, it is okay to show independent thought in a college essay. Address the essay prompt by analyzing why you prefer the present over the past or the future.
