I have no idea what I want to do nor do I have any clue as what classes to take. I'm lost when it comes to college. There are so many things to do yet I have no clue where to begin. Do you think its too early to start worrying about college?

I love helping others. I also really like math. One of my best subjects to date. I love computer, video games, clothes, music, etc.. I have no talent in music though, or at least I've never tried to play an instrument or anything. I think I really would like to do something in computer/electronics, maybe architecture, though I figured you'd have to be a decent artist to be an architect, maybe computer science.

There are so many things running through my mind the past couple of weeks that just are stressing me out anymore. This being one of them.. Help a lost mind.

here's a few more things worth thinking about:

it's not always the job you like the most, but sometimes the job you hate the least
i know im really jumping the gun on this one, but you might wanna consider your potential family for the future. A job where you will be able to support them, and be able to spend time with them (if those be your priorities)
talk to people in the fields you are even considering. Nobody can answer your questions better than they can.
try out some random jobs for now. Get your toes wet and see what some fields are like. Volunteer/intern if you must.

Just worry about getting in. The first two years are the same for everyone no matter what they choose as a major. Decidede once you are in college, and have an opprotunity to explore some of your interests.

At the very worst, you will have to take some extra GE classes because you need to up your GPA to get into the major.

Computer graphics (photoshop, sometimes video editing), 3d animation, game design

that's what I'm looking into. Full sail, that seems to be the best college for the above.

Women Studies.

Do something you have an interest in. You can always do the core classes for the first two years and figure out what you want to do by then
