<p>I'm not sure what to write about. I was thinking about writing about my love for marching band since it was one of the unwavering criteria that schools I was looking into had to have, but looking around, I'm not so sure anymore. Would I be better off writing about an extracurricular I like or a time in my life that changed me? The more I read, the more just writing about marching band and why I like it so much sounds childish on an admissions essay...</p>
