Lost Puppy

This is probably the most random post ever but it honestly bugs me how I have no sense of direction whatsoever! I've lived in this city for almost my whole life and I have no clue how to get around on my own :(  All I tried doing today was go to a library that I often go to with a friend to return my brother's book and I found myself on some random street that took me nowhere. I really need help and it's sad. Better yet I have no clue how to take public transportation to my university and school starts in what? 3 weeks? I.really.need.help. Maybe I just need a car and a GPS, then all my problems would be solved.
