Writer's block - give me advice on a topic, please.

<p>I'm applying to a university that does not give me a specific topic to write on, I need help on some ideas to write about. Does anyone have some suggestions? Something that worked for you or even topics to not write on - any advice would be helpful. Thanks (:</p>

<p>Pick a topic that allows you to show the reader who you are and that you are likable and/or have good character. Make sure you come across as humble.</p>
