<p>For the Princeton “What did you do two summers ago?” short answer, I want to use about 75 words of a 150ish words response to mention a crush one summer I had and how it motivated me to become a much more extroverted person. </p>

<p>On one hand:
~It seems original
~Shows I’m not afraid to share personal anecdotes
~Makes me more than an SAT score?</p>

<p>On the other:
~Might be a really common response?
~I might sound like just another angsty teen</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>if you stay away from sex it should be fine. no weird, gory details, cuz i know for a fact adcoms HATE those. </p>

<p>if you can write about it originally, and provided that its not something people will be bored of because THEY’VE been through same thing 4 billion times and have heard about similar experiences from 4 billion other people…
then yeah, try it.</p>
