Using my previous personal statement?

I applied for university last year and i am changing universities so i'm having to apply again. If i use the majority of my last personal statement, will that be a problem?

Well.... technically self plagiarism is a thing, but I'm not sure if that works with personal statements?

My friend did the same (with mostly similar) personal statement from last year and it was fine for him, but still I'm not sure.
Self-plagiarism doesn't count for PSs, but you should focus on making sure your PS is relevant to you now rather than last year
