I'm not even sure if I made a post like this before, but I'm having so much trouble. I'm a freshman in college (just started a month back). I cry a lot because all my friends (whom I just met) know what they're doing. And 1 friend keeps saying he's known what he wants to do his whole life, and the other 2 did too. 1 says it's a waste of money if I don't know and only STEM careers matter, and that I should know by now. However, I feel like my lack of quality schooling (detroit schools...), and my sheltered home life (never able to go anywhere) didn't expose me to enough so now I'm confused. I even lack basic knowledge of what most things are because of it. I feel stupid because everyone knows.

My major is media. I wanna be an animator for things like vid. games, or television. But I know I'm never confident in my skills, and feel like I never will gain any confidence. Or work somewhere like College Humor- some company like that. So I think I should pick something knowlege based rather than skills/creativity I guess? I don't know. I hate this. It really makes me believe I have no future and I rly hate living already.

Sorry if this is jumbled.
