<p>why can’t i just express who i am? isn’t that what college essays are for? (not everyone is outgoing, insightful, athletic, and compassionate at the same time)</p>
<p>Yes. If you try to be someone you’re not, you’ll probably just end up seeming phony and transparent. Just write what comes naturally to you.</p>
<p>wait…who said you couldn’t?
being who you are is what sets your essay apart.</p>
<p>ppl are trying to make themselves look perfect, which is impossible</p>
<p>Just write what comes to your heart. Don’t try to impress them - you’re just trying to show that you’re truly interested in the school.</p>
