Caleb,

Go back as far in your life as you can remember. Think of every "sinful" (Different people sin differently) act and thought you have committed your entire life. Write it all down. Expect to spend a couple of hours with your priest. If you forget something during your life confession, you can always mention it the next confession.

For the sake of the service, don't wait until the actual ceremony to make your confession. Get with Fr. ahead of time. There are places in the service the priest can pull away and do a confession, but you will get more out of it if you are not rushed.

There are numerous places on the internet on how to prepare. Fast, pray, be introspective, read the preconfession prayers. We are all still nervous every single time.
