What are generic college app essay topics?

I know it is literally the title but what are generic college app essay topics? What do people most commonly write about? I already have asked what I should not write about but overall what is the most basic and generic topic(s) people send to colleges?

This has kinda been answered here.

^^^Agreed – and to reiterate it is comes down to how the essay is written – a “generic” topic can be written well enough to jump off the pages and a innovative topic can be written poorly and fall flat.
