[quote=Anonymous]When I was an undergrad, I worked as a student assitant in the admissions office of a top public university. From that perspective, I don't think the subject is the only thing that matters. Quality of writing counts for a lot too (to a point - I mean don't write about something like a trip to the mall). Ever notice how some writers can make even the most mandane events sound so interesting on paper? So, if there is really nothing "important" to write about, why not write about your first or best childhood memory, a time when you helped your sibling with a problem, a time when you got a new puppy and what it taught you about responsibility, a toy you got for Christmas as a kid that's still sitting on your shelf and reminding you of all the happy family times and the importance of family? Happy stories can be just as good and perhaps even more original. [/quote]
