feedback on my two common app essay ideas

im scared to start writing if these arent good so i want to check if these would be good to write about. im actually just scared to start period.. dont even know which prompts im using these are just topics ive floated. constructive critisis please

#1: summer camp - i went to this YMCA camp four times in my childhood and am going back for an internship position this summer. i had to interview for it but i am also paying, its not like a crazy feat. im going to do a lot of service which i thought i could tie in to being Vice President of Key Club and other leadership and community service experiences. i would also write about how camp has seen me in different eras of my life or something. camp does really mean a lot to me and it has since the start. i wouldnt be able to weite this until august though but i have time then kind of.

#2: dyeing my hair - i dyed my hair pink a hear ago. the process that led me to it shows that i am adventurous, curious, brave, etc etc. i hated it for a few days and grew to love it. also can say that it did change me a lot in how much i cars about what people think of me. this one feels weaker but im sure theres something. academically i could connect it to persistence or something.

affordability

hello! i am really interested in the claremont colleges. my family will not qualify for financial aid so attending the claremont colleges is seeming to be very costly for us. are there good merit based scholarship opportunities in the different schools and how helpful are they? thanks!

▲ 4 r/APUSH

i have taken three full practices and the first was a baseline and i gave myself a 1 and the other two have been 3s. i've done hours of full unit reviews on youtube while i take notes and i never remember enough. i dont understand how im supposed to get better at history i am such a math person. based on the score distributions this is arguably my easiest AP test and i am the most terrified for it. i have like 20 hours of time to study left before the exam but i dont even know what to do at this point. everything leaves my brain immediately even though ive reviewed so many concepts that all make sense. my teacher is no help, not only has he not taught us enough this year but i asked him for advice today and he basically just was like "yeah you'll probably be fine and get a 5" which like no i wont? i just need like any advice im so stressed for no reason like this is not supposed to be this hard and i feel like everyone i know gets history except for me

▲ 2 r/sleep

i am a high school student who cannot get myself to wake up. i'm not even talking about not wanting to at this point (that is another problem though) but i have alarmify with a song on full volume and a sunrise alarm and i just don't hear it. sometimes i even have the scary obnoxious iphone alarm on top of that and my mom wont be able to get me up if she tries (if she does make me awake im just not conscious enough to know that im supposed to get up). i do have a pretty bad sleep schedule and while im working on that i am going into my busiest part of the school year so theres not a lot i can do so i am looking for some temporary fix. what should i do?

i'm trying to a term i can use to find inspiration like this, can anyone give a name for an aesthetic similar? its magical, whimsical, and wholesome. while planning on how to embody it i think of meditating and practicing yoga, spending time outside, and listening to more music. here is a link to the full pinterest board: https://pin.it/2dUbqcv2H
