How to answer an interestingly worded essay?

+2 votes
Hi Susanna!
I began one of my small University of Georgia essays today and the question is interestingly worded:

Incredibly, you have just won a $100 million dollar lottery. To receive it, you must first earn a college degree. How does this change your college experience? How does it change your life after college? (200 word limit)  

Should I direct it to what I would at UGA, or more what I would do after college as I do not think it would impact me going to college or not?
Hopefully this makes sense! Thanks for your help.

Lauren,
There is not a "right" answer to this question - have fun with it!  While money does not buy happiness, it can buy freedom.  Perhaps you would pick a different major, one that may not lead to an obvious job.  Perhaps you would include graduate school in your plans, knowing that you will be able to afford it.  Relax and let yourself dream.
