In each episode, Clarissa breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the audience, sharing her thoughts and feelings about what is going on in her world.
Season 3, Episode 3 of Clarissa Explains It All is called "Me 101". In this episode, Clarissa is feeling lost and uncertain about her future. She's starting to think about college and what kind of career she wants to have, but she doesn't know where to start.
