HACKING MY EDUCATION

I would like to be able to use this course in a way that it will help me figure out what I want to do with my life. Graduation is just around the corner and I don't really know what I want to do, and that's scary. If this course could some how help me figure out what I want to do, I would very much appreciate that.
