Hey there. Ask away whatever you want answered and I'll do my best. Please avoid unconventional capitalization and spelling - it makes the questions harder to read and so I'm less likely to answer.

ok so i need a little help getting myslef on the right path. im only a freshman in highschool. but its right now where you decide your future. and i really dont have any idea what i want to do with my life.. there are many things i am interested in. but im not sure what would really be the best for me. i really want to spend the rest of my life doing something i reallly love. and not something thats just ok.
ok some of the things i think about are fashion design, be a part of some kind of modeling agency.
be a hair stylist. make up artist, just do that kind of stuff. i am reallly creative and im willing to try new things. i also have another side of me i always wanted to be a psychologist.
and then there is the photographer, and graphic designer.
see i go through like these phases first i wanted to be a fashion designer for the longest time. then like graphic designer then psychologist and now its back in the fashion direction. and im really looking for a path that includes all these things. i want to be able to travel and meet new people and just have a good job. any ideas on what career path i should take?
im also a really good writer, but i dont really like it.
thank you (link)

Hm...who gave you the idea that freshman year is the deciding point? Whomever said that is a little off-base. There are people I know who are in college who still don't know what they're going to do with their life.
I'm of the opinion that you don't have to decide anything until at least senior year. There are SO many things to experience in high school and as extracurricular activities that it's not even worth it to try to decide as early as freshman year. You'll most likely get frustrated because new things keep coming up.
My advice would be to keep at all the things you love right now and keep trying new things during your high school years.
And, there's nothing that says that when the time really does come to choose, you can always double major and do something with psychology and fashion or any other combination. Actually, psychology and fashion might be an interesting combo considering a lot of fashion designing and modeling is based in psychology. Or there's the negative, eating disorders and things like that that stem from the fashion world.
Think about everything, but I wouldn't make a choice right now. You've got a long time to think about it.
