<p>Hey, I know lots of people post about being confused and not knowing what they want out of their college years...I've read about them and basically, i am one of them!</p>

<p>I am 19 years old living in Mexico and I've always wanted to do college abroad. The thing is I cant seem to make up my mind where i want to go and what i want to do. I started studying Fashion in 2008 but I ended disliking the school here, so that next semester i tried studying International Relations because im really into languages (since i was born in Holland and speak dutch at home, so i already speak spanish, english, dutch and did 3 years french and a year of italian), which i found out wasn't my thing either! After that i took a semester off because i was so confused...i couldn't keep on going from on major to the other and disliking them all! </p>

<p>So now im very confused on where to go and what to do, how will i know if i really want to dedicate myself to the next thing i do?! One day ill tell myself i love this and the next day ill be wanting to do that.... I have my mind set on 4 things, i really like animals, fashion and food and travel...so ive thought of doing hotel school (in which ill also learn about cooking and administration), study fashion abroad, become a vet, or just study business so i can set my mind on what i want and then specialize in that.</p>

<p>These things are really different from one another and i dont know which to go for. I know i sound pretty confusing and lost.... Im also highly interested in modeling, ive modeled since i was 12 years old and this past semester ive gotten so much work and so many opportunities which i just let go because i made myself believe college came first(which is true!)...because if i would fail at becoming a good model when then im basically i would be screwed and left with no education!!!</p>

<p>Anyways...Im not looking for anyone to tell me what to study, obviously! i just need a little guidance, knowing how to choose right and how will i know if what i choose will be the best for me! I've let so much time fly by that i need to start focusing on my education...Maybe leaving Mexico isnt the mest option right now to study somewhere else since im soooo lost in all this...Anyways, ill love to read some advice! Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Are you sure you've got the modeling out of your system? One really good year at modeling, and you can pay for your college education (maybe that's not a concern).</p>

<p>The median undergraduate student in the U.S. is 24.5 years old. Yes, 90% of the students on this site are 17 or 18, but that's not typical of what is actually going on in American education. You'll make much better use of your college time if you have a good sense of why you're there.</p>

<p>Don't know your stats, but Cornell hotel school might meet your interests. Food, travel and a business background can all be had there. You can also study languages and would have lots of options when you graduate. Not to mention that Tommy Hillfiger started in Ithaca!</p>
