can't decide....

I am a 21 year old college student. I have never been very athletic and have never really pushed myself hard in any sports. My sister asked me to run a marathon with her by next July. I know it is more than a year away, but I can not even run one mile! I think it would be amazing if I could do it, but I am really doubting myself and so are my friends-this kind of makes me want to do it more. If I decided to try and do this, where do I even start? Is it a stupid idea considering I am in terrible shape? Will training etc consume my entire life? I know people run half marathons etc before, but because of some circumstances, the choice is only to run a whole marathon before next july...basically, any advice would be helpful...I have very limited knowledge about marathons. thanks!
