All that time, I never really listened to myself. I lacked the confidence to pursue the things that really interested me. Instead, I just plowed ahead with grim determination until it was over. Now I think, what a douche. I wish I had treated college as a banquet full of lovely things to taste. I wish I had been more light-hearted and taken things less seriously. 

I didn't know shit about shit then, and I certainly don't know anything now. What does seem clear to me in my old age, however, is that it's absolutely OK - and even advisable - not to know anything when you are in college. Just go with it. Wing your way through it and see what happens. You will take a lot of fun classes in the process and the dots will connect at some point. Have you readSteve Job's commencement speech that went around the internet 45,000 times five years ago? You should. This stayed with me:

Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
