She talked to our class the other day about how we need to start picking what we want to do with our lives and deciding our majors for college, so we know what to do.

I'm a Junior.

I don't like science and higher level math stuff.
I really like history. I sometimes like english too.
I love music, doing hair/make-up, expressing my opinion, reading, and I like typing stuff up.
I'm in forensics (the speech team), a drug prevention group, the National Honor Society, and some other things that don't matter.
I have like a 3.8, I think.

Should I be worrying now? Or should I just wait till the end of the year or when I'm a senior?
Do I need to decide what to do with my life?
I always wanted to be an Entertainment Attorney, but I don't know what to do. I always wanted to do make-up/hair too, but my mother says I'm too smart for that, screw her.
All my school does is shove everyone to science and it seems to be all they know about.

Anyone who worries about anything ever is a piece of shit.

Just look up the requirements for the college programs you're interested in and take those classes in your senior year. You sound like someone who would be interested in Communications.

your best bet is to not stress about what exactly you want to do. You have a few ideas and you ought to pursue it, look into colleges that serve your needs. Some schools focus on science, others are more about liberal arts. Find what suites you. Talk to your counselor one-on-one!

I wouldn't necessarily say you need to decide what you're going to do with the rest of your life during your junior year of high school but I would say you need to have it narrowed down. I would also have a pretty good idea of the college/university you will be attending. After your freshman year in college you should have a better idea of the path you would like to take.

On the other hand if you want to be a hairstylist I would not waste 4 years of your life, 4 years of earnings and 4 years of tuition to attend college to get an education you will not use. That is perfectly fine if that what you want to do. At least it is a skill and a trade that can be used to get a job. Nowadays kids go to college mainly for the fact that is what their parents and society tells them to do. They leave college with a piece of shit degree, ton of student debt, and no real world job skills that are marketable to an employer. They send out with their resume with no work experience and worthless degree and expect the employer to hire them without offering them anything of value.

If you do choose to attend college, get a degree that is useful in the real world. A history, philosophy, art studies, or any other liberal arts degree is worthless unless you: A. attend an elite school(which you might do judging by your GPA) 2. have connections 3. move on the graduate school 4. decide to teach. Otherwise, employers will laugh and show their colleagues your pathetic resume and immediately shred it. I know this is harsh but it is reality.

Sorry this is long and most of it isn't really what you were looking for. I'm sure you'll figure everything out. You seem like a smart girl.

oh yeah. typos are definitely something i should be so worried about that i should switch my major for that sole purpose alone.
