I would not re-use essays. Colleges expect to see some growth and change in you, that will be reflected in your essays. Yes, it’s only been one term… but it’s been a while since you wrote those essays and there have been some big changes in your life.

That said, if you were already accepted and feel like you are a kind of shoo-in for transfer… sure, use the old essays. However, if you don’t get accepted as transfer, will you feel it was worth the time saved not to have worked on new essays?
