Ah, procrastiantion at its finest. Most seniors this year have yet to even fill out college applications, me being one of them. Props to you, if you already have. These past seventeen years have flown by, and I fear the worst for my furture self, because as of late, I haven't been able to find one single thing that interests me for a future job. My parents always ask, "Well, what do you like doing in school?" And I always answer with an honest "nothing." Because it's true. Everything feels like a requirement, and nothing is fun anymore like it was way back when. It's all quite challenging, and "here's an F if you don't understand what I'm trying to teach you."
Regardeless, the pressure is on to make something out of my life, and I have to decide what to do-- now. There are many colleges out there, and I'm sure I'll find one. But what I'm not sure about is if I'm ready to leave the security of my own home and venture out into the Big Unknown, ready to strike down any obstacles that head my way with the "knowledge" I have obtained over the years.
Ah, well. "Everything works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out, it's not the end." --Unknown
If you're having trouble thinking of a specific career, then maybe you should just start with activities/subjects/situations that appeal to you. Perhaps that could lead you to a career.
ReplyDeleteDon't freak out if you don't know. Few people do, and even those of your peers who do know have only a slight chance of sticking with that plan.
However, make sure you're being proactive in your search. Don't just sit back and hope "it" finds you. That's how people end up still living in their parents basements at age 40 (probably in your pajamas, eating cereal at 3 pm).
