I gotta chase my dream before it slips away
My sister joined the mass Confirmation (definition: Catholic sacrament where you renew your baptismal vows) at school early this morning, and I ended up being her godmother. Not because I serve as a good role model for her spiritual upbringing, as the priest kept stressing during the orientation, but because there was no one else who would serve as godmother for her. 
If anything, I should be the one emulating my sister. I mean, I pray and stuff, but there’s a lot about the doctrines of the Catholic church that I don’t agree with or that I don’t understand. How am I supposed to “guide” her then? Oh well. She’s smart enough to think for herself and to know that role models aren’t exactly reliable.
Grr. I’m supposed to write a 350-word college application essay, but for some reason I simply cannot get past the 82nd word. I’ve been staring at my “essay” for the past twenty minutes, waiting to get inspired. But absolutely nothing is coming through. Whatever I write sounds like effete crap, and I wonder how I’m going to get accepted into any university at this rate. The theme I have to write about is what I’m going to do with the education I want to receive, and I guess the reason why I can’t write a thing is because I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with it. Okay, so maybe I do have an idea, but I just don’t know how to write it without conspiciously saying, “I’m an ambitious, well-rounded, intellectually curious individual. Now accept me, for crying out loud!” Stress! I hate writing about topics when I have insufficient knowledge.

my sister was my sponsor and she doesn’t even go to mass anymore.
Basically, everyone comes across sounding fairly moronic on their college entrance essays, simply because the topics they give kind of leave you with no other option. Don’t worry about it - just write the best you can, and forget about it.
It took me a while to do my college essay. And then when I started writing, I wrote too much.
Just focus on your goals, and what you want to do with you life. I think that’s what colleges look for. Good luck.
