<p>For the intellectual vitality essay I have come up with 2 possible topics. </p>
<p>1) The first is light-hearted and fun.
2) The other will be more serious, complemented by a tone of awe and curiosity</p>
<p>Does it matter which one i choose? My passion comes up in both of them, but my passion is the sole focus of the second essay. Is Stanford looking for a serious answer to this question or another quirky response (such as the roommate essay)?</p>
