So I’m a current senior who is slightly procrastinating over his common app essay. I’ve narrowed down what I want to write, however there are two passions that I really want to share that work together, which are my love for traveling and my love for comedy (entertainment), however I’m unable to find a way to write my essay whilst combining both these passions. I just end up writing about one thing or the other. Any suggestions on how I could approach this issue?
I would write about one. I know it’s hard to choose.
There are other ways to write about the other “passion,” in the EC section or additional info section for instance.

Comedy !
While both are great topics, travel may be too common.
An appreciation of humor often reveals attractive personality traits, as does travel.

Respectfully disagree with Publisher. Travel might be a good topic. With any essay, it depends on the writing.
Not sure about any disagreement. My point is that while both travel & comedy could be great topics,comedy is a far less common topic. And, depending upon the individual, comedy may be the more difficult topic.
OP: Your essay theme could be about your two passions. Discuss both interests.
