Hi, perfectionist. I would advise you to make an appointment with a professor during their office hours and let them know what you are interested in doing. In my experience, professors are genuinely excited to find out that you want to pursue graduate work. Ask them questions. Tell them about yourself and the things you have been doing to prepare yourself for graduate school. Most of the time they will have many suggestions and offer to help. If not and you are too shy to ask in person (I know I was), then send a thank you email, remind the of what you want to do, and ask for the LOR. Btw do your research! Try to target profs who have similar interests, and if you have access to associate and full professors that have strong resumes and have some ties to the schools you are looking to apply to then that's great! GOOD LUCK!
