Take a BuzzFeed quiz

Preferably try something like "What career should you actually have?" If you find yourself taking the "What kind of bread are you" quiz, you're probably too far down the rabbit hole.

Google search the top paying professions

Hmm... lawyer or doctor, which will it be?

Convince yourself that money doesn't matter when pursuing your passion

Money doesn't mean happiness, right?

Ask your family members for their opinion

After all, your family knows you best and can probably guide you in the right direction.

Ignore your family's opinion

Shout out something along the lines of "Only I can discover the right path for me!" and retreat back to another BuzzFeed quiz.

Go to college and pick a major that sounds interesting

The opportunities are endless!

Change your major

And I mean endless...

Repeat step 7 as many times as necessary

Seriously...endless.

Pick one and tell your friends and family (and yourself) that you found your calling

Whether it means college or not, find something you truly enjoy and make the most of it.

But always remember that passions can change and evolve

Just because you start down a certain path doesn't mean that you need to stay on it without turning around or taking a different road. The more you explore, the more you learn. That's all part of the fun.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
