Did I overdo it with the favorite stuff essay?

I figured that this essay was an opportunity to go wild and just talk about anything that interests you, with blithe commentary. And that is exactly what I did. I talked about four things (favorite literary character, favorite TV show, favorite game, and cool musician) in particular, and sprinkled in pop culture references and tangents everywhere.

This is actually how I think, and as a result, normal college essays were murder for me. I had fun writing this one, but I worry I might sound as if I’m being quirky for the sake of being quirky. I don’t want to come off as disingenuous.

Would anyone care to read my favorite stuff essay?
