What is the best way to decide on what you want to do in life/college?
I am very interested in Physics and Computer Science; however, I do not feel prepared yet to decide on what I intend to do in life. Due to this, I am going to apply to colleges as undecided. But after that, I'm not sure what I can do experience as many fields as I can without losing focus. #college

The best way to decide upon a career area is to get to know yourself better to develop a clear career focus and then talk to people in that area to see what they do, how they got there, and what suggestions and advice they may have for you.
Getting to know yourself and how your personality traits relate to people involved in various career opportunities is very important in your decision making process. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I ran across too many students who had skipped this very important step and ended up in a job situation which for which they were not well suited. Selecting a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear. Following are some important steps which I developed during my career which have been helpful to many .
