Would there be any questions you would ask yourself? Techniques to help? I am just curious because I'm kind of lost-I'm undecided on everything- career/religion/college major/values/beliefs/you name it

This really is a lifetime process! No quick answers. You can take personality tests like the Taylor Johnson and Myers-Briggs to get a snapshot of your preferences and character. Various employment places will offer career testing so you can have an idea where your passions and interests lie. If you have a Christian background, discovering your spiritual gifting is also a plus (good book is by Don and Katie Fortune)
Your beliefs will emerge as you face situations, as you read, and as you discover truth for yourself. Many prefer to choose a course based on what has worked for them.
If you're "undecided on everything," I would wonder about the community you're part of. Many of our self-perceptions are gained from what others will give us feedback on, "Oh, you're like this..." and help to form our image of self. In our westernized, independent world we ask more questions about self-identity than peoples who are more highly connected with their families and community.
Another way is to begin journaling. As you look back on your notes about things you will discover that values do emerge.
Good luck on the quest. We're all in it to some degree!

Your half way there. Ever heard "TO FIND YOURSELF YOU MUST FIRST LOSE YOURSELF"? Now is the time to be SPIRITUAL! Start thinking in depth about all your problems and, look deep into your soul.Ask yourself what DO I WANT TO ACHIEVE IN LIFE? WHAT IS MY LIFES PURPOSE? Ponder on these questions first. Don't try to rush through it ! Finding yourself can be a long journey. You must face your fears with you head held high. I recommend that you start reading here are some books you could start with-The Power Of Your SubConscious Mind-There are several versions of the bible.-Research many religions you will know when you find what's right for you.-Say to yourself many times a day "I call upon the infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind to reveal to me where I belong and my lifes purpose". Pay ATTENTION because you will start recieving answers very soon. Those answers can come in various ways.Don't chalk anything up to mere coincedences-There are no coincedences in life. Ask and ye shall recieve! Blessings

get away and think... quiet introspection.. it won't be quick.. it won't be easy.. but with time you will start to put the pieces together.
