College Essay Topic in relation to my major

I am wanting to be a law major in college(right now I'm a senior in high school) and I would want to do political science in undergad. My leading idea for a college essay right now is to talk about my passion for science and time (since the question is about something you could talk about for hours). Is this a bad idea since it's not related to my major at all?

Not a bad idea! But try to link it to your major if you can, why you love science and being a lawyer, what you learn from both or the impact they both have on you or others lives. Having two unrelated interests shows you are interesting and well rounded, and allows for you to have a unique and creative link between them
