<p>Hey, I am a student looking to write a college essay. My interests are mostly political, but varied from mock trial to model UN, working as a Congressional Page to being on statewide leadership for the Obama campaign. I don't want to write an essay that is cliche about running a charity event, working in Congress, or even going state to state for the Obama campaign.</p>
<p>So I thought I would write about doodling. What do you think?</p>
<p>Through my doodles, I can illustrate my reflective personality and allude to other experiences I have had. I doodle all the time, nonstop–but it doesnt get in the way of my schoolwork (4.0 UW, 5.0W) so would it be appropriate?</p>
<p>any topic is good as long as it reflects you. maybe have a thesis before you write?
what is the one thing you want the admissions to see in you through doodling?</p>
<p>It’s not the topic, it’s what you do with the topic.</p>
<p>Choose the topic that allows you to write the most personal, detailed, honest and revealing essay.</p>
<p>There is some good college essay advice here:</p>
