For maybe 5 years I have known the answer to this question and would quickly respond "I want to be a psychologist!" Everyone was always so impressed. I knew where I was going what I was doing and had a goal. It's almost the end of my senior year and suddenly I don't know what I want. All of a sudden I find myself thinking I want something more than that. Like to get my degree, move to the city and be a chef. But I want to help people... I feel like I'm supposed to. I'm lost...

READ THE POST, I'M NOT ASKING YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO BE.

Become a CRNA or a nurse. You can help people and both are impressive jobs.

it's ok I thought I knew what I wanted to and people were always so impressed and then I changed my mind. Just do your own thing and be happy, the other people don't matter.

You could always do both. :) if you can handle it, try night school or something.
Or if you take a year break, do a small course in between. You don't have to restrict yourself to one thing, especially if you feel you need more in life.
I'm going to finish my music course, the do the following certificates in order to be able to teach. Then, perhaps travel, and do a few things on the side. Not sure what they'll be yet. :)

Very true. Someone actually mentioned volunteering with sounds like an amazing idea.

Don't worry most people going into college have no idea what they want to be and more than half of them change their first choice for a major. You don't have to decide right this second. You still have a few years to mull if over. Just think about what you are passionate about. I mean like what you would do even if you weren't getting paid because you love it that much. For instance I love languages and I would still have learned Spanish even if I didn't become an interpreter. Find something like that and you'll never be bored with your job.

I couldn't think of anything else.
