College Essay On Fandoms
I have travelled to many different places. Germany, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida are some of the few. However, the best places I have traveled to is the Wizarding world of Harry Potter, Camp Half Blood, The 21st Gnome, Westeros, the TARDIS, and to Lord Beerus’ planet. I believe fandoms introduce individuality. There are countless fandoms and life situations that tell who a person is. David Tennant and the TARDIS introduced me to the world of fandoms. Middle school introduced me to being myself.

We may watch the same anime, but just the personalities of our favorite characters tell us what type of person we are.
I have discovered that individuality is more important than having an immense amount of friends. I am happy being different, and happiness is what humans are after. Some people are thrilled with having 30 notifications all the time, but I am content with traveling from world to world, and universe to
