Happy Times
Life isn't perfect and never will be. But I'm in a place where I can handle my problems and am happy with who I am and where this life is taking me. I woke up this morning full of joy and ready to take on the day. The time for major career decisions is upon me, as it is FAFSA time, once again. Film school has been on the agenda for awhile now, but under closer inspection, may be the wrong course of action for me. I do have artistic aspirations, and do want to learn more about film editing and animation. However, much of these things can be learned in my spare time as a hobby. I don't find myself being dedicated to film making as someone willing to spend tuition money on should be. The past two months have been full of much self analysis regarding relationships and knowing myself better. A major part of that analysis included pursuing lifelong goals. A realization came to me this morning that my career could and should help me to accomplish those goals. For a long time, I had wanted to join the Peace Corps in order to travel the world and dedicate myself to helping others. What has stopped me in this pursuit is not having sufficient skills to convert this fantasy into a reality. For some unknown reason, I never wanted to take the easy courses in college. Thus, I always sought out the most challenging ones without knowing my limitations, resulting in major fuck-ups. Learning how to balance things in my life has been (and continues to be) one of the hardest lessons. And of course, I had to do it the hardest way I knew how, ha ha. Anyway, I've been making a mental list of the subjects I excelled most at and found the least amount of stress in.
1. Foreign Languages
2. Biology
3. Social Sciences
4. Mathematics
5. Art
Now I just have to find a career path that can utilize those skills in that order.
