I would probably feel violated by your friends actions too if I were you. Is she prone to taking other people's lives into her own hands like that? Some people, my father for instance, will listen to you complain and then go fix it, whether you wanted them to or not. It's just the way they are, they see a problem and they fix it. So maybe your friend won't realize why your upset at her? Some people you just can't talk to them idly without them acting. If this behavior is out of the norm for your friend then just maybe tell her you realize that her intentions were probably good but that all you really need is someone to talk to, and if you need help with something in the future you'll know who to go to?

I wouldn't worry too much about getting into college. Did you apply to more than one place? I knew some absolute idiots in college (I just graduated this May) and somehow they got in and stayed in. My friend Brandy wasn't ever the brightest bulb in the box and was very 'party-minded'. She decided to go to college and even got some financial aid because her family has so many kids to support. She is a semester behind my other friends her age. So if you don't get in this time, perhaps you can try again next semester/quarter, or try at more than one place? What makes you think you wouldn't get in? Did you do well in school in the past?

As for your film, was the topic assigned? Are you trying to get into a regular college as a film major, or a college whose emphasis is arts, like film? If the topic wasn't assigned, then maybe you can try to pep yourself up about it. Why did you choose that topic in the first place? What do you love about filming/creating/etc? When I (as an English Lit major) had to write assigned papers about assigned books, I would often get bored, or caught up in all the 'what ifs?' of what the consequences would be if I turned in a bad paper. Usually I had to choose between 3 or 4 books we had read and write an argueable paper about one or more of them, that was the majority of the rules. Sometimes there were other specifications but for the most part they let us have a bit of creative freedom. So when I got sick of trying to write the thing, or was stuck like a deer in headlights it would help me to just sit still for a bit and think about why I had picked the topic in the first place. What was interesting about that particular part of the book? What characters/dialoge did I really like, or did I really think it illustrated the point I wanted to make. How did I come up with my thesis/point I wanted to make with my paper, and why did I have conviction that it was a good topic/arguement? Sometimes it helped me to think these thoughts in a setting where my entire purpose wasn't to think about it. For instance, go shopping with a friend, and while looking at shoes, in the back of your mind be asking yourself what you can do next with your film, why you like it, what you have acheived with it so far that you are proud of? Or go somewhere else, like a museum, a play, somewhere where you don't feel pressured to think about your film, but you can anyway. And then try to think of all the good things that might possibly happen if your film isn't good, or you don't go to college. It might be hard, but it might also help to keep the pressure off a bit. I know that pressure, and my own response to pressure is my own worst enemy. Hopefully you can apply some of what I said about papers to films. Maybe none of this will work for you, and maybe I don't understand your real problem with working on your film. But I wish you luck on it (and your college app) anyway!

ETA: Oh yeah, about psychics. I do believe in the possibility of them. I have had some creepy psychic knowledge myself, and I find the topic, and many other paranormal-type topics fascinating, but I agree with LK in that I don't trust psychics who make money off their 'gift'. Some of course, may really be gifted and making money from it out of necessity, but I think for the most part they are simply good at generalities and making generic messages that can apply to many people. If you have really found some legit psychics then good for you, but I just hope you take what they say with a grain of salt. Don't get yourself too worked up about it. I think Xena would have said that people make their own fate (whether there was a lot of her getting pulled around by it a lot or not on the show).

In a somewhat related topic, have you ever heard about the psychic Sylvia Browne? I first learned about her through the Montel Williams talk show, which she regularly guested on. Anyway she is a pretty famous psychic in the US and has written dozens of books. Recently I came across a site called 'StopSylviaBrowne.com' that is a repository of evidence against Ms.Browne actually being psychic. It is amazing the amount of things she has been wrong or way too generic about and yet she is touted as an extremely remarkable and astonishingly gifted lady. Even huge things/events she predicts wrong, yet occasionally when I am watching her I am astonished at her insight. Anyway, you should check out the stop sylvia website. Maybe it would help you figure out if the psychics you know are just really good at phishing/guessing, or validate you even more that they are nothing like Ms.Browne and are legit.
