The future.

     Like everybody else, I am always thinking about the future. Who will I marry? What will be my career? Where will I live? Will I be successful? Will I still be friends with all the people that I am friends with now? Where am I going to school?... Yada yada yada. We are so concerned with our future that we don't even work in the present. I find myself doing this a lot and it wears me down. Of course it's not bad to plan out your future and know what you want, but worrying about it is another thing.
     Recently I have been thinking a lot about where I want to go to school. And just thinking about it gets me anxious. I've noticed that all I focus on is how fast it will take me to get there and what the name of the school is going to be. I'm in a rush and I care too much about the name of the school. I'm so caught up in what will make me look good rather than choosing a school that works best for me and my abilities. Why I am so focused on impressing people? I need to do what I want and not conform to what people want for me.
     Lastly, don't beat yourself up because you're not good at something. If you're not good at one thing then you're amazing at something else.
  

So my goal for myself and you guys reading: DO WHAT YOU WANT. It's your life, so don't let anybody tell you differently. If you want to go and major in something that actually interests you rather than in something that will make you a lot of money.... then do it. If you don't know what you want to do for your career yet, don't beat yourself up about it. All good things come to those who wait.
