Is Game design a good choice for me?
Hey, I'm in 7th grade and want to get an idea of what collage and profession I want to pursue. Originally I was thinking about graphic design but in all honesty after getting Cookie run: Kingdom and watching epic the musical (The animatic) I thought game design might be both more fun and a better fit for me here's why I think that: -I like story telling -I am good at/like world building -having ADHD + Autism & think about things differently -I think visually -I can create 3D models of things in my head & turn them -I can create & keep a lot of lore solely in my head -I can think of & execute ambisius ideas -When I put my mind to something I'll do it & that's that Reasons I think I might struggle: -Having ADHD I get side tracked easily -if I hit a hard part I tend to just stop working on it -I get easily overwhelmed by big projects + deadlines -When I get overwhelmed I shut down completely -W/ my dyslexia I have a hard time reading & spelling & might mess up on something importent -I'm a perfectionist w/ things I really care about -I have anxiety and might overthink things leading to getting overwhelmed I would love your thoughts on thing & thoughts on good collages for collages there's only three main things: -I don't want to move too far (from Washington) -preferably student housing -Hands on programs and being part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and having a not so common religion I'd love somewhere inclusive for all people (gay, all races, Therians, different religons) Also anti-AI would be preferable

Is it better to do a dedicated music therapy program in college, or major/minor in psychology and music?
I have learned that I like performing as a hobby, not as a profession and I don't want to learn how to teach either. I also don't want to learn about all the conditions and treatments of psychology because that is not the focus of music therapy. People say I would be good at being a psychologist, teacher, and performer but I feel like I don't want any of that. I know I am interested in music therapy, specifically helping people express emotions, but I don't know where to start.
