I have no life experience!

I have a very sugar coated life. Two parents, a brother, and a cat. My parents make good money, both attended college, and I live in an almost sheltered community in LA. I drive to school everyday in my 2001 Toyota Camry and hang out with my friends on the weekend. I have a mediocre gpa and sat but have great ambitions to succeed. After looking at the common app essay prompts, I realized that I have no life experience. My parents raised me to be a good kid and to not do drugs and to get good grades, but so did almost every parent. I simply have nothing to write about that is remotely interesting. I could write about myself as a person, as does thousand of other students, but I need something to stand out. Does anyone else have this problem?
