college
so for the first time yesterday....i started to feel overwhelmed by the whole picking college thing. of the 4 colleges ive seen, i like 3 of the campuses:
CEntral - really nice campus (lots of newer buiildings), pimped library,
Western - potential for a lot of money, nice campus (older and newer buildings), pretty nice library
UM - amazing campus, i definitely like that one most, but thats really all ive seen of it, but i have wanted to go there since i was like 10.
i think that hte hardest part for me of picking a college is i have no idea what i want to do there. so i cant look into that specific school. if knew what i wanted to do, i could look in depth at that specific program, and figure out what would be best for me. but i dont know. and i really dont like that feeling. i have always been told i could do anything i want, the only problem with that is i dont know what i want.
this is what i do know:
i like to speak in front of people, i think its a lot of fun, i have always been comfortable in speaking in large groups of people, half of whom ive never really met, although, going up to one individual stranger is kind of awkward for me. i also love helping people, 99.9% of the time, i am going to put someone else's needs ahead of mine. thats just the way i am. i also know that i love history, i love learning about the past, especially the wars. it just interests me. so i figure i will definitly do something social studies-ish. entering into this year i felt i had a pretty good idea of what i was going to do - be a high school history/social studies teacher, but then i didnt want to do that so much anymore. although i do feel i would be pretty good at it. but when i feel like i want to be a teacher all i would be doing is settling. no offense to people who are teachers, oor want to be one. i just feel like i have worked so hard in high school, i should use all of that and do something i will absolutley love. i have also entertained the idea of being a lawyer since the age of like 12. and recently, i thought it would be really cool to get involved with politics, but i really dont so much know about that.
sometimes when i think about it, i just wish the path was laid out in front of me you know? i wish there were signs pointing me in the right direction. but i know i dont want that, i know i need to make this decision on my own. i also know that everyone always says not to worry about it, although this usually comes from people who already know what they want to do (or at least a pretty good idea). i have heard dont worry about it from one person who didnt know what they were going to do. and that was just in an open discussion in mr. vukich's room when the college kids came and talked to us. to be honest, i am worried, what happens if i go to college, and when i decide what i want to do, they dont offer it there? then i would be kind of screwed.
i dont know, i was just thinkign about it yesterday, i started to feel overwhelmed about it, and so i posted in here. sorry it was so long....thanks for caring.
