Almost finished with my degree-Facing some problems

[Kevin1990]

Don't know if this is the right section for this or not,

I'm a current history major(with double minors) at a large well known state university on the East Coast, who is aiming to go to grad school for military/strategic studies as my focus. However, I'm facing a dilemma in the sense that I talked to one of the advisors within the dept of history recently at my university and it turns out I only have couple of classes at most left on my degree it's self(and only so many left until I can graduate.

This has created a few problems for me in the sense that I don't know what I exactly want to stud in grad school. As well as the fact that looking at some of the schools I'm interested in, I need to get some important pre-req's out of the way and I now feel I don't have enough time to do that(let alone take the GRE). Furthermore, I don't know/don't feel like I've developed relationships with some of the faculty at my school to be able to get rec's, as well as issues laying other ground work for grad school.

Although, I do have a GPA above 3.0 and I will have attained fluency in two languages by the time I graduate this coming spring(French & German). I'm thinking about taking some time off when I graduate undergrad(a semester or so to get a break from academics) also maybe I could use that to prepare for grad school, since it doesn't appear I have enough time to do so now.

I'd like to hear some insight for the more experienced member's on this forum, esp. those who have faced what I'm dealing with now(if it is a major issue that is)?

Parts of your post are a little confusing, but if you are applying for admission to start in 2013, why don't you have enough time? You definitely don't have enough time to apply NOW for THIS fall (admissions offers have been/are being sent now), so just start the process for the next cycle. Applications usually open sometime in September.
