The quest...
I'm on a quest. Yes, a quest in which I shall decide what to do in college. Let's face it, I'm going to get absolutely nowhere in life if I continue working in a coffee shop. I love the guitar, but let's face it, that's going to get me absolutely nowhere either. So, guitar can remain my passion/hobby, but I need to go to college so I can get a real job. Hmm. I don't like how this post is making me sound. All responsible and grown-up..and not at all Alex-like. The way I see it is, I've had more than the summer to just sit back and relax. Most of my friends are in college now and I'm the bum who does nothing..ok, so I do have an eventful life but I still can't help but feel bumish. Not that bums are bad people... I have the opportunity to do something, so I should take it. Now that I know I'm going to college, what the hell am I going to do? I've compiled a list of things...
- Law. This makes perfectly good sense. I think I would make a pretty decent lawyer and the money is great, which one of the things I'm really going for. Besides, I love to argue.. which ahsn't been very healthy in life, but if I were a lawyer..ah.
- Psychiatry. There are several reasons I've been considering this. I would like to help people with problems and psyciatrists can diagnose mental illnesses. My sister had a mental illness(of which I still don't know what it is, because doctors weren't very sure and often misdiagnosed her) and I myself have BPD. I never really understood my sister, though I really loved her and tried very hard. I also try to understand myself and I never can. I don't understand why I do most of what I do. All I know is that they slapped me with a personality disorder. But can a person with his own mental illness be a psychiatrist?
- Journalism. I really enjoy writing and journalism makes perfect sense for me.. still, I don't have much confidence in my writing skills..so..
I just don't know what my other options are. I need to decide, though because I don't wanna be one of those people who juggles majors or goes in not knowing. I'm being decisive for once.. I only need to decide.
