<p>The Princeton app requires an essay that is stated </p>
<p>"Please tell us how you have spent the last two summers, including any jobs you have held."</p>
<p>Now, I haven't spent them twiddling my thumbs, but I feel intimidated because I didn't choose to attend one of those entire-summer "nerd camps" or the governor's school. I did take a few interesting trips (to the adirondacks with my friends to take a canoe trip), but my common app essay already describes a scene from that trip.</p>
<p>I mainly spent my summers working and having a life, I push myself during the school year, I guess it was a mistake to take my summers easy?</p>
<p>More specifically, should I approach this in a broad sense, or should I try to illumintate only certain events, and try to convey a specific message?</p>
<p>Thanks guys, everyone on this site has been amazing so far</p>
