You do NOT need an angle or a spike. I work with kids professionally on their college essays. The vast majority think they have nothing interesting to say. Everyone can find something to say about themselves.
Here are some topics some of my students have written about:
Going to the grocery store near a relative’s house to get a food item only available locally.
Bringing her childhood nightlight to college.
Joy at seeing the gates of summer camp each year.
Working in the kitchen at summer camp each year.
Planning the annual family vacation to the beach.
Creating an “animal” in the school robotics class.
Being a ball boy at the tennis court.
There are so many others. The ONE thing each of these students had in common is that they wrote about something that means a lot to them. That’s all that matters. My students have always had multiple colleges to choose from, but it’s because they wrote about what mattered to them. What matters to you? Write about that.
