Better questions than "who are you wearing?"

“Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.”

 - Moliere

I love that quote, it certainly describes the path of my career. (Although this blog right now is for love and only has a few friends who read it.)

I've been visiting colleges with my daughters recently. In that process there's much discussion about the application process - specifically the essays.  The essays are the opportunity for a prospective student to demonstrate their love of writing. The University of Chicago posed two sample questions at the orientation session:

Tell us about a time you got caught?

How do you feel about Wednesdays?

 

I'd welcome your take on the essays. Go ahead and relive your high school days. No pressure. No money, either.
