The Problem with it is that it's the problem (Part 2)

Have you ever thought the reason you couldn't do something was because of lack of information? Or perhaps too much information? I feel that this is a huge problem. When someone doesn't give you information on a project, and expects you to do that project, the end product wouldn't be pretty.

One example of this in my life is college apps. I was hoping the school would put on a seminar, "How to do a college app," but they didn't. Now, my knowledge of the process is limited at best. I've been going along based on how the application looks, and am literally doing it by the seat of my pants. I've had productive talks with my deans, and I am making progress, but it seems like slower than others. I've been confused for most of this process, and I'm just hoping I don't screw up. I'm applying early, and if I mess up this application, what does that mean for the rest of my apps?

Of course, I don't want to be overloaded with large amounts of information. If that happened, I would be just as confused. Sites like College Confidential are get, but sometimes it's just TOO MUCH INFO. Your mind can't process all the information, and the multiple threads just make the entire site a bit more confusing.

So what do I want? I think if someone gave me a roadmap, and provided helpful information along the way would be sufficient. I think this is why I'm looking to my friends for help, since the administration hasn't provided much. But yeah, that's my rant.

Here's some culture. Learn Chinese. It's good for you.
