What do I want to do with my life?

Jan 08, 2005 11:34

So I've spent a lot of break thinking about what I want to major in and, the topic that goes along with it, what do I want to do. What profession do I want to enter? How do I want to leave my mark on the world? Entering school I thought I wanted to major in International Affairs. However, taking my intro to IA was so depressing as well as boring. It just didn't "spark" my interest. I know I shouldn't place to much importance on it because it was, after all, only an intro course. However, the other profession that I considered when applying to school was being pre-med and now after spending most of break thinking about it I wonder if that is truly what I wanted to do and if it is I have seriously set myself back by not starting it last semester. The bio class I would need to take is completely full and the chem class I would need to take isn't offered next semester. So, if I truly want to go pre-med I would most likely have to take 5 years in order to graduate or take a year off before going to med school, which wouldn't be all that bad but I am still not sure if that is truly what I want to do. Argh, life is so confusing sometimes. I know I don't have to know for a while (unless I want to be pre-med) but I don't like being in a period of non-knowingness. I always feel like I need a purpose, like I need to be working toward something and as of right now I don't know what I want to do. Hmmm, a state of confusion. That is exactly what I am in. I guess I better decide soon because I might need to change my schedule. Thanks to the great California freak weather I didn't go to work today so I have one more day to let my future run through my brain and think about what I want to do.
