College Fair

Today at school we had about 20 colleges from Mississippi come to show us information about their college. I have no idea what college I want to attend, though I have an idea how to find out. It takes research and reviewing, making list after list of college requirements, stats, and locations, and visiting each college you're considering. I haven't started to go out and actually see campuses up close. I'm still searching websites that have all the college info. neatly organized and all together. Still, it's very confusing.

At the fair every table representing a college would ask, "So, do you know what you'll be majoring in or what you're interested in?" I answered no, of course. Did they have a look of disapproval, of resignation? It surely seemed like it to me! But that's just my paranoid inner self thinking. She often kills my confidence. Anyway, I filled out an information card for all the colleges, and handing them back to each, I hoped they didn't notice that I had filled out every other one. I have a theory that colleges are less interested in you if you are interested in more than just that one college. I don't know if I'm right, though.

My pile of college brochures and scholarship details is getting bigger and more intimidating, and it's beginning to be a challenge for me to keep it all straight. As time goes on, it's getting harder for me to make any decisions at all for pete's sake! I'm only a little junior, and the weight of all this career crap is bringing me down. Does anyone have advice for me? I'd like that, and a better ACT score which hasn't changed the last three times I've taken that darn test.

Well, I can't expect all the answers to suddenly fall into my grasp so suddenly, but I would appreciate some input. Thanks :)
