An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

To those who don't yet know their passion,

It will be okay. You will find it. Here I am writing all of this advice to you, yet I am hard on myself every day because I am still clueless. It's one of those things where I am surrounded by coworkers who love their jobs and are so happy with where they are at. Those closest to me have been enduring school for years because they have a dream. But, here I am, working a job that I am not in love with and not having a clue where to go next. Sure, I have hobbies but I am not sure if any of those would turn into a passion. Perhaps, we will have to see.

Passion. Something we earn for. Something we base our lives off of. But yet, a day doesn't go by where I have absolutely no idea what my passion is.

No matter how hard I brainstorm, how hard I plan, or how much I put myself out there - nothing has clicked. I want to feel that fire and smile without realizing it simply because I love what I am doing. But what I have come to find, is that there is no age limit to find your dream job, your dream partner, or have your dream house. All of it is still possible and just because you are officially an adult does not mean that you have to have your life all figured out. You don't need to have it all, yet.

In the meantime, I plan on enjoying every moment that I have on this earth. Life is short, such a cliche, but incredibly true. Stop and smell the roses. Be open to new tasks. Take on a project that you would not have had interest in before. Continue your learning anyway possible.

Before you know it, your dream will come true. Slowly the puzzle pieces will fit together and form the big picture you have been waiting to reveal itself for quite some time now.

Sincerely,

Someone trying to find their passion too

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
