College Essay!
So I'm a senior in high school this year and I want to apply early for colleges. I'm trying to figure out what to write for my essay and I'm stumped. For a particular college I'm asked to "Write an essay or personal statement of atleast 250 words". Help! What should I write about? I don't want to be the same old student who writes a boring paper, shouldn't it be original? Thank you!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Give them insight into your personality. Don't go on and on about your accomplishments unless they truly mean something important to you. Colleges hear that all of the time. Don't just say "my name is sam and I'm 17. I'm from Indiana and I like to collect rocks." Stuff like that is boring.
Did you learn something BIG while in high school? Did you have a life-changing experience?
I did, and that's what I wrote about. I had a life-changing experience that caused me to completely change what I wanted to major in, and it completely changed my perspective on life. Because of what had happened to me, I had something out of the ordinary to write for my "about me".
Anyway, you definitely wants something original. The "judges" won't give you a second thought if it's an essay they've read hundreds of times. Even if you're not the best reader, make it interesting.
Tell them what makes you YOU & why. Always have at least one person proof read it to check for spelling, grammar, and clarity mistakes.
Good luck!!
As a college freshman, I definitely know how annoying doing the college essays are.
