Do I Care If I Have Direction?

 As previously mentioned I am an undergraduate student at a prestigious SEC school (University of Kentucky), you're jealous I know.  But you're not jealous that I am in my 6th year of undergraduate study and still pursuing that first bachelor's degree.  I attended the local "Harvard on the Hill" in my hometown area, not permitted to go away for my first year.  Upon transferring from ACC to Morehead State University I was screwed out of 8 credit hours, I believed the term used was "Non-Transferable Credits"  I think I racked up more NTC than I did regular credits in my first three years.  Not wanting to be out done, the University of Kentucky saw Morehead's 8 hours and up'ed the ante to 15, giving me a whopping 23 Non-Transferable Credits from certified degree granting institutions.  I am glad I left ACC when I did, because in my second year at MSU, after the consolidation of all Kentucky's community and technical colleges. ACC was placed on probation for "Inadequate Academic Programs" meaning the, and I use this term loosely, "professor's" were either not challenging their classes enough or they were not properly accredited.

    Just a little background before I share my thoughts.... Here we go with my musings

    I have become complacent academically.  There I said it.  I am finally less than 2 semesters away (rest of this current one, plus one summer semester) from getting that bachelor's degree and I really am just sick of trying. I have been in college for six freaking years!!! I don't want to do it anymore, I don't want to play student anymore. I quit!

    I have also become stale with studying because I am earning a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology.... WTF am I going to do post graduation?  I don't want to go into psychology.  I am currently leaning towards Law school, with a desire to get into politics. I however am not a liar, not deceitful, not morally corrupt, and most importantly do NOT wish to be.  I am currently looking for an internship opportunity with a law firm or political group.  This is the farthest I have ever gone with my major.  I have had several previous, here's the list (in chronological order): 

Undecided
Pre-Chiropractic
Biology
Pre-Med
Undecided
Radiology
Undecided
Psychology

I am actually quite impressed with that list myself.  However I have been a psychology major for 6 semesters, roughly 3 school years.  I will, baring any unexpected change in plans, will finish with my degree this coming August.

    Because of this complacency my GPA has slipped.  I spent 3 semesters on "Academic Probation."  I am the only one my advisor has seen allowed to return to classes with a 3rd semester of probation under their belt.  This is because the University only allows two consecutive semesters before requiring a mandatory "year off."  I was an exception, there are two reasons you can be put on academic probation, and though the letter you receive doesn't specify as to which category of failure you fall under, it's rather easy to deduce.  I spent two semesters with a College of Arts and Sciences - Psychology of under 2.0; the third semester was just your basic overall GPA below a 2.0.  My GPA last semester was a 3.0.  My current cumulative GPA is 3.2.  Quite the turnaround, but I am sick of it.  I was denied my financial aid because of my history with academic probation, which is bureaucratic bullshit!  The Financial Aid Office said to my face that "You're not a sound academic investment."  Can you believe that garbage?!?! I am or at least was a sound academic investment, I have pulled my GPA up over a whole point since then, am I not determined?  Was I not currently making the grades?  So not only am I complacent, but I am pissed I am paying for my own mediocrity. 

    I don't feel like I am headed the right direction, but have NO idea what the right direction is...
