Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out how personal my college essay should get. I've got a few decent experiences to share, but they feel kind of ordinary. I mean, is it enough to just write about my journey, or do I need to dig deeper and get super personal?

What do you all think? Do admissions committees really want to see vulnerability and more personal insights, or is it okay to stick with safer topics? Any advice would be awesome!
