I hate it.

I just do.

What am I doing? Where do I need to be?

You aren't old enough to be out on your own doing your own thing. Yet, you're "too old" to be living at home with your parents while focusing on your career moves. It's absurd. The expectations society has for young adults is overwhelming.

So what if I don't want to be out on my own "living it up" at school. I will admit I am a homebody and I sure am proud to be. I like the comfort and quiet of my own space. I know what life is like. I know that it will not be easy. I do not mind a challenge here and there but I do like to control how many challenges I face at one time, in the comfort of my space.

It just feels like there are so many choices to make and so little time in which we have to make them. I like to have a schedule, don't get me wrong, but I like to have the option of flexibility and making changes as I go along when I see new opportunities come about.

There is a great amount of pressure in college. Many students have double majors or a major with a minor. Some students came into college with credits from high school. Others are just taking their time and graduating as fifth-year seniors (AKA, Me). I do not mind being on the slower track, I just hate feeling the pressure of seeing where everyone else stands. It is quite often intimidating and gives me more reasons to wonder what if I had chosen a different route for myself.

I know that I am where I am supposed to be. God has a plan for me, I must learn to be patient and trust his timing. I still cannot help but wonder what life could have been like for me and why I am on the path I am traveling.

During my crazy adventure, I find experiences worth taking. I completed my Disney College Program last semester and it was a wonderful experience. I realized why I am in school and gathered the stamina to further indulge in my studies. However, I still am not finished traveling. I hope to find a study abroad program so I can gather insight into ways other countries educate their children.

So, forget what the society tells you. Go out and find your calling. Take as many adventures as you can and travel this great world we have. You only regret the chances you did not take.

Don't spend your middle adulthood wishing you had taken opportunities when they were presented to you. You have the rest of your life to get that degree. Make sure you enjoy being a young adult and everything life can offer you during these years. Go out and discover new pieces of your soul. You will not regret it.
