For some of you industrious high schoolers out there, the holiday season is when you start planning your upcoming college visits and filling out those tedious applications. One component of the admissions process for many schools is the dreaded personal essay. What should you write? Should you brag? Should you show humility? Should you brag about your humility?
Tragedy! That's it! Admissions officers love hearing hearing about how horribly your life has been. But what if you haven't had any tragedies? What do you say then?
