Which Essay Topic

<p>I made a list of possible essay topics, I’ll probably end up writing several of them, just which ones do you guys like best and think would help me the most?</p>

<li>I wrecked my car this summer, but it’s a good story and I thought of a kind of cool take on it, plus i learned stuff, etc.</li>
<li>about my dad (impact on me) he was a high school drop-out, has been in AA for about 10 years now, is extremely conservative (and i’m really liberal- we fight a lot about that sort of stuff) and also how he’s turned his life around a bit, and just the sort of dynamic we have with each other. im sure they get lots of “my dad” essays, but he has obviously had a profound impact on my life</li>
<li>this absolutely crazy cambodian family that the brother and one of the sisters are some of my best friends, and stuff ive done at their house</li>
<li>in 8th and 9th grade i suffered badly from a form of OCD but now ive mostly conquered it, i’d talk about my struggle with it and overcoming it without medication</li>
<li>i have this fear of touching mayo, ketchup, and mustard and i also don’t like to eat most red foods, it’s really weird, i guess i could write about that (i have reasons!) </li>
<li>my foreign exchange student, having him here has taught me a lot about my personality and attitude</li>
<li>at this debate thing this summer, there was this particular issue that i feel VERY strongly about and someone went up and said the most ignorant thing and i guess i could write in story-form about the experience and my reaction</li>
<li>i have a cool story to go with it! about a time when i realized everything in life was connected. i actually have lots of little stories but i guess thats what its like, i’m just afraid it would go off into a thing where i sound pompous and its too cliched. but it would have experiences of mine in it that are pretty unique.</li>
</ol>

<p>input please!</p>

<p>No. 3 and 6 would be my top choices. </p>

<p>Sorry to hear about your experiences with No. 5 and 6. College life can be difficult for some and you certainly do not want to convey to the adcom that you might have a fragile personality and could crack under too much pressure.</p>

<p>you have so much to write about! i feel so envious! :)</p>

<p>i'd go with no. 3 too. that sounds fun. no. 5 would suit uchi.</p>

<p>No 3 for sure. It sounds like one of the topics you'd find in a book about college essays, as an example.</p>

<p>haha no. 5 isn't that bad, i mean if i have to touch the stuff i will, i just don't like it...it's nothing that i've had to struggle with or anything</p>
