Hasn’t the deadline already passed? Or does this mean you are a 2011 applicant?

Even if you are undecided, you can still write about one or two things that you’re “interested” in. You said you write alot and want to continue doing so; if you’re passionate about it and have something interesting to say, you could talk about how you want to pursue writing, and (I don’t know you, just speculating) maybe you’re considering a field in journalism, communications, etc, but you’re just not yet sure enough to declare a major. Then say you want to flesh out these interests and figure out where you want to go in life by utilizing vandy’s excellent resources :)
