Odds are that if you clicked on this article then you're feeling the same way about life that I am—drowned by it. We're not even finished with college yet, but somehow have been made to feel completely inadequate for not having our post-grad plan set in stone.

Is that really necessary? I mean, it seems insane to me. I just finished my last general education class last semester. Now I'm supposed to have my ten year plan solidified and a color scheme for my wedding. Well, I freaking don't. And to be honest, I'm kind of peeved that I've been made to feel like this.

I'm not saying it's all due to outside forces. I've been putting unnecessary stress on myself since I was seven. But, nothing is really taking any stress off of me, either. I've worked hard. I've done every odd job in the book for extra bill money while simultaneously taking different classes/unpaid internships to make my resume look better. So, why am I not allowed to feel accomplished or at ease?

I'm young. I'm still kind of clueless on what job setting will generate the most happiness for me ten years down the road. I call my dad more often than I should for general car maintenance questions and my Mom still has authority over my finances (which is best for all of us if I'm being honest). But do you know what? I'm okay.

I have to remind myself that when everyone is asking me what I'm going to do with my major that its normally just one of two things—they are trying to make small talk or they are exposing their own curiosity. They're not pushing me towards an unknown finish line or attempting to make me feel bad for not having a definite answer. So, we've got to stop thinking that they are. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy. The first step to overcoming this is realizing it.

Spoiler alert: I have yet to spontaneously combust. I think about the future a lot, but I try to associate it with hopefulness instead of worry. Sometimes it takes a little bit of effort, I'm not going to lie. But—We are going to be okay.

We don't have to have it all figured out. Why? Because no one really does. Just when you think you do, I can promise you that something will change. Your job might relocate, your boss might mistreat you, you might meet the love of your life or win a free three month excursion to Europe.

Whatever the case, you can handle this. You are not alone. You are capable, strong and free. So just breathe.
