Build higher walls around me. Change every lock and key. My heart's far, far away. Home and free.

I visited Kutztown on Monday...it went really well. They have a beautiful campus down there. They also have a very good art education program...but the idea of college depresses me. I'm not ready. I'm just not. I have no idea what I want to do with my life...in fact I'm downright confused about a lot of things. I don't know what I want my career to

It's really not as big a deal as you are making it out to be. The first two years of college are mostly general credits anyway, that you will have to take regardless of your major. You have the choice of entering Undecided (or Common Curriculum), and that way you can take all the courses you would take for a major (if you wish, or classes for a possible major if you are confused like I was), only you have no obligations except your G.E. (General Education credits, i.e. Public Speaking, College Writing, etc.) You can actually take anything you want...it goes your way, but you are responsible for taking the courses that are necessary for your particular major. An up side to this, that is, having an undeclared major, is that you can make a kick ass schedule, get annoying classes like Public Speaking out of the way, and then make a kick ass schedule for your second semester. You might be able to give yourself Friday off, for example. However, that is rare for the first semester. You can remain Undeclared for a certain period of time, differing at some schools, but it is generally up until Junior year's schedule that a major is required to take any more classes.

Hopefully that gave both of you a little confidence in yourselves. It isn't as hard as some people make it out to be. It is hard, don't get me wrong, but it's not impossible obviously. Once you are there for a month, you will wonder why you hadn't been doing it that way your whole life. For God's sake, you can smoke a cigarette on the way to your next class, with your professor. College is a lot better than high school. You needn't worry, the best is yet to come.

I'm not really worried anymore...however, my schedule will be completely different as an art major.
