Does any one really know what they want to do for the rest of their life? Oh, wait, some people do? That's weird.

It is typical to not know what you want to eat for breakfast or what you want to wear on a date, but I always felt like an outlier because I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. The phrase "the rest of your life" would constantly echo in my head and a stream of anxiety followed behind. All I wanted to do during my senior year of high school was figure out my life.

I now find myself in college and I am still confused. I am always second guessing myself if I am in the right major, taking the right classes and I change my mind on what I want to do for "the rest of my life" as often as a first grader. All this stress caused me to long for some reassurance that I could not easily find from others. The people I talked to would claim that everything was going to be fine in the end, but I always found myself doubting them and never fully believing them. I realized if it was genuine reassurance I was after I would have to find some within myself.

When I begin to doubt myself because anxiety has the chance to fill my mind, I tell myself everything will be okay. I now look at all the obstacles I'm faced with and everything I am doing that I'm not completely certain about as a learning experience. Deciding to change a major or deciding to drop a class is no longer looked at as a failing moment, but more as a learning moment. College is not only about learning in a classroom, but more about learning about yourself. Nothing is a waste of time.

So remember, it's okay to be confused, you will know more about yourself by the end of it.

And always remember that you are not alone.
