Everything just died. Need help

I need some help before I go tearing stuff apart.

Ok I drove like 3 mins to class, I rolled the window down and listened to the radio. Well when I park and shut off the truck everything went off instead of the normal 10 min period when the radio stays on and the windows still work. So I turn the key backwards to roll up my window and it does nothing, the radio wasnt coming on either. I turn the key forward and it still does nothing the gauges didnt move, no wait to start light nothing. I started truck with no problem and drove back home with no windows radio or gauges. The switch that adjust the mirrors and door locks work. The over head display and heater/air works.

What is going on? Is this just a fuse or something more serious???

Help me out fellas
