Being a senior during college application season comes with the constant reminder of how important it is to have a strong essay that’s also unique and will stand out amongst the crowd. Now that college applications are almost all submitted, let’s see how creative our seniors at Rosary were in their essay ideas. In order to make this interesting, I’ve decided to ask seniors for 1-2 words that best describe what their college essays are about. No elaboration will be provided.

As you can see, there is plenty of room for creative liberty when it comes to college essays. I think this goes to show that you shouldn’t be afraid to be unique and truly show off your personality (even if it’s a little strange). Honestly, when it comes to college essays, the more bizarre, the better!
