Confused about future career?

I'm trying to find out what I want to major in college and become in the future and there are so many fields that I like! I'm really confused right now and I keep debating on it. I wouldn't mind being a graphic designer, an engineer, a psychologist, or a doctor. I feel like these jobs are interesting to me. For my college application I just chose biology as my major because it seemed versatile and interesting to me. How should I narrow it down? Are there any websites that can give me lots of info and guidelines? I'm really confused and it's been too long that I haven't decided...

Best thing to do is shadow each and every one of them, that will give you a real good perspective of whether you'd like to do that job or not.

I'm in the same boat but the great thing about universities is that you usually don't have to declare a major until your junior year (you can declare it sooner if you like of course). People tell us a lot that our interests and majors will change by the time we graduate from college. Just take some elective courses in those fields and other fields to see which one you'll absolutely love. Volunteer or shadow those jobs and see if one sparks your interest more than another. Spend a day with a graphic designer, an engineer, a psychologist, and a doctor. Ask questions, try to see if you can get some hands on experience. It really helps.

Ask your friends what they know you're good at, and what they picture you could do. Sometimes we overlook some of our most obvious strengths.

You have time to choose, trust me, you're not the only one in high school that's lost. I thought I was the only one when I graduated and found out a lot of my friends were confused about where they wanted to go too. Only a few of my friends had an exact idea of what they wanted to do.
