<p>So 2 and a half years in and I have no clue what I'm doing. I was doing pre-med, but never really. I was kinda ushered into it early on because I didn't know what else to do. Big mistake, I should've been exploring my options freshman year instead. Anyways, I figured I'd learn to like it and adjust, because it's a good career path after all, but I haven't. I'm not gonna blame it all on the classes, because a lot of it was due to my laziness. Oh by the way, I'm a sociology major, because it's a short one and easy to pair with pre-med.</p>

<p>So I was lazy, uninterested and distracted in school for the past couple of years and that has led to awful grades and total confusion. I have no clue what to do with my life. I feel really depressed too because I feel like I wasted so much money on tuition as well as a lot of time doing nothing. I just want to have a path and start fresh and get to it, but I don't know where to start. I'm so lost. It's such a hopeless feeling to have, and i really need help.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting, and know that it’s never too late. Talk with someone - your hall director, someone from academic advisement, someone from CAPS – get help. If you don’t know where to start, email us at <a href=“mailto:enroll@stonybrook.edu”>enroll@stonybrook.edu</a> and we’ll get you in touch with someone directly.</p>

<p>It’s not too late to get on track, so many students change their majors. As far as being lazy and distracted, fix the problem. A college degree will be useful to you, I agree with Chris, talk to someone in academic advising! </p>
