I don't quite know what to do with my life and this frustrates the hell out of me. I've managed to get past the "can't get out of bed" phase of this frustration but now comes the part where I actually have to make decisions to change my situation. Fantastic.
At this point I'm 99.99% sure that I don't want to do anything with my biology degree if I can't be a doctor and with the competition for medical school these days I don't want to waste 4 years of scholarships on a degree that will only earn me a rejection letter. At one point I thought I loved science but now I'm beginning to see that we might not be as compatible as I had hoped. This is an incredible point of frustration because I have spent 2 years working my ass off to be halfway through my degree and there is a part of me that says I should just stick it out, but I'm feeling increasingly more like this is the wrong idea.
Now I have to pick a new major and I would really like to graduate within the next 2 years but I'm giving myself 3. I'm looking into International Studies (which seems like such a fake major) because of its interdisclipinary nature of the program. I can take English, WGS, political science, I can see myself graduating and working for a non-profit somewhere or maybe going into law school eventually. I'm pretty sure I could graduate within 2 years as well. I guess what I really need now is Jeanne.
Actually I feel so much better after getting this out. Maybe this really is the right decision.
