The Registar's Office
Today I registered for my classes for next semester. Our credits are different from most other schools, so I'm taking 4 credits, which translates to about 16-18 credits at any other school. It's weird, because after next semester, I only need 5 more classes to finish the requirements to get my major. But now the trouble is, what do I do with all the other time I'll have here? Sure, I'll probably end up taking more comm classes and stuff, but what else do I do? I could pick up a minor, but I have enough trouble making decisions, it'll take about a year just to do that, and by that time there won't be enough time for me to actually finish it. Or I could just take classes that sound interesting. Or I could...um....I don't know where that was going.
It's weird that just last semester I was thinking that I might not graduate on time and now I'm worried about filling up the time I need to spend here to have enough credit hours to graduate. I'm pretty lucky in that aspect, I guess. After I graduate, I've been considering grad school. But what are the chances that I'll actually get into grad school? You've got to do really well to get into grad school. There are people who have a 4.0 GPA, are at the top of their class, and are pretty much perfect in every way, and they STILL don't get into grad school. Plus, that's another chunk of time that I'll have to take out loans to be able to afford to breath.
Who decided that someone who's 20 years old should have to make all of these decisions? It just seems like maybe those decisions are too important to be made by someone like me. I have enough trouble deciding which shoes to wear for the day, not to mention deciding what to do with the rest of my life. I don't do well with long-term things. I'm ususally too busy thinking about what I have to do next.
I guess I'm just feeling a little lost. But it's hard to get lost when you don't know where you're going.

u have no direction it seems which means that ur just lost in the middle of no where and it does not matter which way you go b/c the destination has not been decided yet, so just decide on ur journey to wherever ur going ;)
you could find out the requirements for a couple minors that sound interesting/functional for you, and then take a class or two in them before you decide if you want them. That's what I did with my business minor, i got half done with it before i actually registered that i was doing a business minor.
