The most memorable one was when I participated in a college debate competition. I was really nervous as it was my first time. But my team members were very supportive. We prepared for weeks, researching various topics. During the actual debate, I was able to present my arguments clearly. In the end, we won the competition. It was a great feeling of accomplishment and it also boosted my confidence a lot.
For me, it was the time when I volunteered for a community service project organized by the college. We went to a local elementary school to teach the kids some basic science concepts. It was really challenging at first as the kids were very energetic. But as we got along, it became so much fun. I saw the kids' eyes light up when they understood something new. This experience made me realize how important it is to give back to the community and also taught me a lot about teaching and communication.
My most memorable college days story was when I attended a concert on campus. It was a local band that I really liked. The energy in the air was electric. Everyone was dancing and singing along. I went with a group of friends, and we all just let loose. After the concert, we sat on the grass outside the venue, talking about our dreams and plans for the future. It was a moment of pure joy and connection, and it really encapsulated what college life was all about for me - having fun with friends and exploring new things.
One memorable college life story involved a campus - wide scavenger hunt organized by the student council. My friends and I teamed up. We had to run all over the campus, find hidden clues in the library, the gym, and even in some professors' offices. Along the way, we met other teams and there was this friendly competition. In the end, we didn't win, but the whole experience of exploring the campus in a different way and having so much fun with friends made it really unforgettable.
One memorable story was during the college orientation. There was a scavenger hunt. One of the items on the list was a picture with the oldest professor on campus. A group of freshmen ran around the whole campus trying to find this elusive professor. When they finally found him, he was so confused but agreed to take the picture. They were so excited to complete the task.
A college best friend story I heard was about two friends who were in a financial bind. They both needed money for textbooks but were short on funds. Instead of giving up, they came up with a plan. They started a small business on campus, selling homemade snacks. They worked hard, marketing their products, and within a few weeks, they had enough money not only for textbooks but also for some extra treats. This experience taught them about entrepreneurship and more importantly, strengthened their bond as best friends. They remained close even after college, always reminiscing about their college business days.
I think the most memorable one was with my friend Emma. We were at a music concert. The crowd was huge and we got separated. I was really worried. But then, out of nowhere, Emma found me. She had been looking everywhere. That moment of relief and seeing her face again in the middle of that chaos is something I'll never forget.
One time, my friend and I were at a concert. We got separated in the huge crowd. I was really worried, but then I heard him shouting my name from a distance. He had climbed on top of a small platform to find me. When we finally reunited, we laughed so hard. It was a crazy moment that I'll always remember.
I remember at a college homecoming, there was a 'find the hidden treasure' event on campus. The 'treasure' was a small statue of the school's founder. Well, a group of students got so excited and competitive that they accidentally dug up a water pipe instead. Water started spraying everywhere and they were all slipping and sliding around. And during the homecoming carnival, there was a dunk tank. The dean of students agreed to be in it. But every time someone threw the ball, the mechanism wouldn't work properly, so he just sat there looking smug while the crowd booed and laughed.
A memorable one was when a group of students decided to do a midnight 'ghost hunt' in an old campus building. They were all scared but trying to be brave. One of them tripped over a broomstick and screamed thinking it was a ghost. The others started laughing so hard that they forgot about being scared.
Well, once a student tried to ride a skateboard down the stairs in the library to show off. But he lost control and ended up crashing into a bookshelf. The bookshelf wobbled and a bunch of books fell on him. He was okay, just a bit embarrassed. It was really funny seeing him emerge from under all those books.
There was this applicant who wrote an entire essay about how much he hated studying but still wanted to go to college just for the parties. He was brutally honest, which might seem refreshing at first, but it's not exactly what colleges are looking for. His rejection was expected, and his story has been told as a humorous example of what not to do in a college application. This story also highlights the importance of understanding the purpose of a college application essay.
