marieburch,
Is any of the advice/support you are getting helping? Keep in mind though, these are all suggestions ok?
You are young, caught off guard, no one is expecting you to "know it all" ok? Get your masters though, keep things low key while you get that done. Then, you can work on this more when you don't have so much on your plate.
Easy, you have time ((maurieburch)). You will get this figured out.
