I get it, we are at a point and an age in our life where we feel we need to have our life in order. I cannot even recall the countless times I have had break downs worrying about how my future is going to turnout, and what is going to be of it. Do not think you are alone, I know exactly how you feel. The pressure from your parents and the fact that you see some of your friends excelling in the real world, always makes you double think every decision you make or are going to make in the future.

For me the unknown of my future freaked me out. I would constantly be thinking about what I wanted to do. I would constantly be researching jobs, internships, and other opportunities to get ahead in what I wanted to do. I would stress myself out by telling myself I needed a plan b,c,d, and etc., in case my main goal did not work out. It took me awhile to realize but living in the present is an amazing thing. When you just take a few days off from stressing and just live life and find your true passions and just act on them things will end up falling in place. You wont need a backup plan because the time, energy, and effort you put into your passions will most likely pay off. I have also realized that we are very young, so needing to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives right now is not the most important thing. You need to live in the present and take in all the different opportunities around you and take advantage of being young and not knowing what you want to do so you can dabble in a multitude of things that could lead you to your passion. If you do not know what your passion is right now, it is totally okay! Some people have just had passions since they were kids, others find it during college, and sometimes it takes people until they are in their thirties to determine what they want to do.

Now, as much as I wish, life is not like a movie. You cannot just click your heels or wave your wand and suddenly everything falls into place and is all planned out. We all wished we had jobs lined up for us right after college but we all know that is not the case. There is no quick fix when trying to figure your life out or to trying to get to where you want to be in general. So just take it one day at a time and you never know where you will end up.
