<p>I know writing about sports in college essays is a NO-NO from advisers, but is this okay?</p>
<p>I am writing about how I took an injury and fought through the pain. Too cliche?</p>
<p>I’d say it’s too cliche. Any way you can put a spin on it? An elaborate metaphor, compare it to something else and how you fought through them both?</p>
<p>There are no cliche topics, just cliche essays. </p>
<p>But it’s very easy to make your topic a cliche essay. A good number of people write about sports/an injury</p>
