What intrigues you? Tell us about one work of art, scientific achievement, piece of literature, method of communication, or place in the world (a film, book, performance, website, event, location, etc.), and explain its significance to you.
Take a deep breath. Here we go. How come Pluto and Goofy are both dogs, but Goofy can talk and walk but Pluto cant? Do penguins have knees? Because to me, it looks like all they have are feet attached to the bottom of their belly. How come insider trading is against the law, but congress is the exception? How come congress decides what their own salary is when their approval rating is less that 10 percent? If there are millions of galaxies, how have we not seen other life in this universe? Will robots really take over the future? I've come to peace with the fact that superman can fly, but how does he fly faster? Why do football players want to be chosen for fantasy football leagues? How does fashion change? Why is Mickey always wearing gloves? Don't his hands get sweaty? Who has OJ's missing glove? Who was the first person to milk a cow and then drink the milk? Does the universe go on forever, or does it stop? Something can't go on forever, but where is the END of the universe? What's after the end? Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? My arm hair doesn't grow as fast as the hair on my head. Why is that? Why do we yawn? How many licks does it take to get to the center of lollipop? Why do dogs hate it when you blow on their face, but stick their heads out the car window? When we are happy, we say we are head over heels. Isn't that how we normally are? Was this essay a terrible idea?
I have a lot of questions, and not a lot of answers. But I guess that's what college is for.
