<p>Please don’t worry about grad school. Many people suggest working between college and grad school (you could find articles on this to show your parents) and it is much more worthwhile when you have a better idea of what you want to study.</p>
<p>Political science is a good major for a lot of fields. (With elections coming up, any chance of working on a campaign?)</p>
<p>It sounds like you have a lot of interests and things you want to do. It is not too late for anything. Go for it! (I am 60 and going back to school.)</p>
<p>Your writing is excellent and conveys a sense of who you are, which is extremely likeable and aware. You obviously have a lot going for you.</p>
<p>I tell my kids that this is one of the hardest times of life (college, 20’s) but everyone feels as if they “should” be happy. Going to a counselor is a great idea (more than 50% of students do at some point) but also maybe get into a group, so you can realize that you are not alone in your feelings.</p>
<p>You are doing everything you should be doing now, taking classes and doing internships. Try to find ways to enjoy the present and maybe let the future unfold as you go along.</p>
