Inspiration

I'm lacking inspiration. That's all. This is a giant problem for me.
As an artist, you're supposed to be able to let yourself go, and let your art convey what ever is on your mind.
However, what's on my mind is colleges and what they want to see. And know I'm all complexed.
I've been second guessing myself wondering if I can actually make it as an artist. I hope so, but as I've been Googling past applicants for art schools, boy oh boy, it doesn't look good. I'm actually petrified that what I'm doing is not good enough, or that I don't have enough artistic vision. I paint and draw people...but, it's just that. People. I don't feel that there is a mood there. Ugh. Identity crisis begins now.
