I am not suggesting you take time away from college and work some difficult, physical labor, but it worked for me.
Since I was chasing a baseball dream, I took about a year and a half off between high school and college. As I have posted before, it was the absolute best thing that ever happened to me.
One, I was on my own and, two, I really saw what I didn't want to become. Lastly, I was much more mature and focused when I got to college. I used to listen to the freshmen ***** about getting up for 0800 classes and just smile. After working as a construction laborer, as a ground maintenance monkey at a golf course, a ton of other jobs, an 0800 class was an absolute luxury.
Again, I am not recommending time away, but perhaps your school has some programs that get you a semester volunteering/working in another country or working with Habitat, etc.
