I'm sure you're thinking a lot about writing your college essay (or, you're thinking a lot about how you're nervous about, concerned about, or trying to avoid writing your college essay). We'll talk a lot more in class about writing this personal essay, but for those of you who are looking to get started, here's a great resource. It's a list that someone compiled of over one hundred essay prompts. Since the Common App allows you to choose any topic you'd like, these prompts might help you develop an essay idea. Happy writing!
