I wrote mine about whether or not you should eat the skin on a baked potato, equated it with "getting the full college experience".

I wrote mine about going to the middle of nowhere to live with my grandfather to make sure someone was there to take care of him and watch him pass in his last days. I took portraits of him on the first day because he wanted something documented, and then I began writing about his life through conversations with him while both of us knew we wouldn't have time to make it to the end as an exercise in mortality.

Bottom line: find some interesting experience in your life and analyze it to death.
