I don't know what I am doing anymore. I guess I haven't for several months. Last night at that meeting, we had to each introduce someone. (I despise the "Go around the room and tell us a little about yourself" game). My partner asked what my major was, I told her I was majoring in "I don't know what the hell I'm doing anymore." I should have told her I was majoring in headaches and nervous breakdowns. In her, and I guess normal people's world that translates to "Undecided/undeclared" which is what she told everyone I was. Damn, I'm hungry. And yes, I have eaten today. I'll forge for food in a little while. I guess what I really want is someone who understands the college, and who understands the careers in the artistic media industry, sit down with them, and say, "OK, here are some things that sound interesting to me. What is the best way to go about getting them here? And how am I supposed to break into that field later in life?" To have someone reassure me, tell me for once in this process that I am doing something right, and give me some good, genuine, well-informed help would be very very comforting and reassuring right now. I just don't know what to do anymore. I thought once I had a path, but I don't. I just need some guidance. I don't know if that entails an advisor, since I have not had much luck with advisors today. There are so many books out there on the things that I want to do. Of course, none of them seem to be in circulation at the library. All these books running a minimum of $20 on Amazon. Of course to buy 40 books on 4 or 5 different subjects is stupid. I worry that if my life has no direction, then I will end up settling and not being where I really want to be. I wish all this shit was behind me now. I just need-- I don't know. I need some dinner, is what I need. Big dinner. I haven't had my sugar product yet today, so I can get dessert tonight too. Current mood:   Hungry and mentally lost

You need to find a mentor. I have had many thru the years (and still have one today).
You can ask your profs for some suggestions OR you can contact some companies in the area and seek out some people in different capacities that might offer some 'realistic' advice. Are there any professional organizations? Those are also good places to hunt them down.
Some people will be too busy to mentor you seriously - ask if you could do lunch with them and pick their brain. (Lots of compliments help sometime to stroke their ego)
You don't have to figure out everything by graduation. I had no clue what I was going to do. I've had several different career paths and plan on several more. You'll find your niche, your passion - sometimes it takes some digging. ;)
