<p>I have a funny story about how I literally came to a crossroads, “took the road less travelled” and got lost for two hours and up to my knees in mud. Moral is that there’s a reason why some things are metaphors I guess. </p>
<p>Essay fodder? Or cliche overused etc.?</p>
<p>The whole literally coming to a crossroads thing seems like a cliche.
However, if you put add your unique twist, anything can be interesting. Although I haven’t read enough essays to know how adcoms will react, I think your getting lost for two hours bit seems original enough…</p>
<p>And then I was late for the Physics Regents. It was the scariest thing ever. But of course now it’s really funny.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, how did you end up in the mud??</p>
<p>Eh well I was criss crossing every which way until I lost the path that I was lost on and then I decided just to bushwhack it (because I knew what general direction camp was). And I was going across a log thing and like some cartoon character lost my footing and fell. God it was probably a good thing I was alone. Happy New Year lol!</p>
