I've always planned on being an exceptional person.  My definition of
exceptional is constantly changing as I grow older and become more experienced
in Life, whatever that means.  Its funny that I always seem to meet my own
criteria of an exceptional person, but I guess no less is expected of a smart
ass teenager who reads JD Salanger religiously and hates writing college
essays because he feels phoney writing what college entrance readers want to
read.

The above is my satirical attempt at one of my college entrance essays at UT
(Texas).  <sighs>  Obviously I don't like writing these things...anyone have
any suggestions as to how I could make this process easier? 
Thanks,

Eric
