<p>For that essay question, do they want your favorite word and how it relates to me or to society?</p>

<p>I read a number of sample essays online and most of them have something to do with society. I was thinking about talking specifically about my job and how it relates to my favorite word. Good idea?</p>

<p>Where did you find the sample essay? I'm sure you can write about pretty much anything you want to. That is the good thing about college essays. I don't think they really care about what the topic is, it is how you show them about yourself in your writing.</p>

<p>what do you guys think of the essays this year? I didn't like any of the topics at all last year...at least they let you use anything you want for the 500-word essay.</p>

<p>I don't like the arts and sciences one. I don't really read much literature, I am not a big science buff, I don't like art at all, and I'm not really a connosiur of music either, so all that leaves is mathematics, and I don't know how I can write an essay about how mathematics has surprised, unsettled, or challenged me. I guess I'll either have to start reading a book, and make it surprise or unsettle me, or come up with something else.</p>

11

<p>Are movies considered a work of art?</p>

12

<p>I would think so</p>
