Why do high schoolers scribble such pablum?

<p>That sounds pretty true. YOu know what, I think the admissions committees like essays about nothing (kind of like Seinfeld, and wasn't that a hit?) For example at Duke or Wake, one of the two, a dean of admissions was going on about some essay about the lack of use for male nipples, watching jeopardy with one's family, cheese, etc.</p>

<p>So, go totally out there.
For me, I wrote about being a militant vegan in middle school and how I never got anywhere in life with it. So I changed strategies.</p>

<p>O yea, and I got a likely from the big H.</p>
