<p>Actually, I mean exactly what I wrote. As in, I really don’t want to go, except for 2 reasons: the actual traveling part, which can be done elsewhere for cheaper, so that’s out, and the essay topic.
Also, I think you may have misunderstood. I didn’t want to write about the college to “suck up” (wow), I’m not that kind of guy at all. I’m merely (for whatever reason) partial to stories about trips, they just seem very - let’s say - adventurous, fun, and you know, give a ‘fun’ impression. They always catch my attention, anyway. I have strong sentiments to ‘epic-ness’ style stories 
That’s my reasoning behind it.
Advice now?
Please believe that I do mean everything I say. And no, I’m not at all looking for an excuse to go. Quite the opposite. I’d be greatly reassured (and assured of my decision) if someone were to tell me what you did smoda, (no need for the trip for a good essay). I’d just further like to ask about some topics of anyone’s essays?
I was just about to check what MIT requires as the subjects for their essays. I heard they require 9 (!). Lucky me, I love writing :D</p>
