College Admission Essays

[gdl96]

I've really hit a brick wall recently while trying to complete these tedious essays so I can get into college. I just can't seem to get started with them, no matter how hard I try.

I think the problem is that the top school I want to go to (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) is a bit of a stretch for me, so I want my essay to be so outstanding and amazing, that I can't seem to get it even started. And also, the questions tend to be a bit personal, and I always feel uncomfortable when writing about personal things.

Any shared experiences or advice?

I wish I could just fast forward my life a few months and be done with all this so I could enjoy the remainder of my senior year.
