Finally, any of us can be boring, awesome people

There are numerous people that live colorful and interesting lives that often go beyond our imagination, and, fortunately, there are numerous opportunities for those people. Especially in college, newsletters are flooded with opportunities and scholarships for those people with diverse, powerful, and interesting lives. But what about the rest of us?

After consulting with a friend, I think it's time to make a scholarship that goes to the most dull and boring people (citizens and permanent residents only). Of course, there are a lot of us. To narrow down the field, priority will be given to people who have demonstrably strong experience living vicariously through others. The application would be similar to normal college and scholarship applications, but written for someone else. Essay topics would ask the applicant to describe how someone they know has overcome diversity to become a better person, and ask to describe experiences that built that other person's character. The successful applicant will include constructive feedback and helpful questions they asked the person they lived vicariously through, along with how they sat there to watch, listen, and think about how great it would be to live that life, too.

I would rock that application.
