What Should I Do?
I've been in college since Fall 2005. I started at University of Maryland at College Park. I was a psychology major and also part of the prepharmacy program. I didn't make it at Maryland for a lot of stupid reasons, most of them being my anxiety to be around anyone, and also being too overweight to walk to class without having a full blown asthma attack. I came back home and I've been attending Cecil Community College since Summer 2006. I've done really well here, even getting into our school's chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. I started at Cecil as a prepharmacy student, now I'm in web development. This spring semester has been awful for me. I can't see how I'm going to pass anything. I have no job, no income, and I live with my parents. I want to move out on my own again, I was so much happier living alone. I just have no idea what to do with my life. It really drags me down that I really have no career path right now and I'm 20 years old. I don't want to be one of those kids who change their major 50 times and don't graduate until they're 30. Anyone have any advice for me?

My fiance is 28, has a degree in elementary education, went back and has some prepharm done, has some PA classwork done, and has changed his mind again to work towards clinical laboratory science with a focus on criminal justice (think CSI). There's nothing wrong with taking some time to figure out what you want. That's better than spending a ton on money on tuition for a program you end up not liking. As long as you're working towards something and not just taking any random class like Van Wilder, you're good.
I'm 21 and have been bumming off my parents since finishing high school at 18, started studying electrical engineering but dropped out at my second attempt at third year, ending with me in a mental institute, I'm schitzophrenic which is lots of fun. I hope to get back to varsity to study elec eng when I'm 30. I used to be worried about getting my degree asap but its not going to happen, so I've sort of taken the "Don't worry, be happy" approach to life. My advice is just chill, find something you enjoy and don't worry about how succesful your peers are, you will get to where you want to be one day.
