I Am Going Into College Undecided And That's More Than Okay

It's okay to go into college with an undecided major, you'll most likely change your mind anyways if you are as indecisive as me.

I Am Going Into College Undecided And That's More Than Okay

Well, I am officially 18, and with that age comes multiple changes. I graduated from high school, got my first tattoo,and chose the official college that I will be attending in the fall.

Choosing what you want to do after High school is always one of the biggest decisions you will make. I decided to continue my education at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, and am currently undecided in my major.

"Do you know where you are going to college?"

"What are you majoring in?"

"Why are you going to college when you don't even know what you want to do with your future?"

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I AM GOING TO COLLEGE.

College is a place to figure out what you like and what you don't like. It's a place to receive help from advisers and to let them steer you in the right direction. It's a place where you can focus on yourself without the distractions. It's a chance to try out all sorts of different clubs and sports.

In High School, you had certain classes each year that you had to take whether you liked it or not. In college you can take classes that interest you, that you have a passion for. Your classes focus around your major, I am undecided, therefore I take classes that interest me. If I wanted to take an oceanography class, heck, I'm going to take an oceanography class. It could lead to a career in animal science. If I wanted to take a glass blowing class, I'll take a glass-blowing class. It could lead to a career in art!

All I'm saying is don't judge someone because they haven't had a dream career since they were four years old.

I am indecisive, I change my mind all the mind. I thought about being a photographer, pastry chef, teacher, guidance counselor, and you expect me to have an exact decision of what I choose to get a degree in within a few months of choosing a college to attend? No. Let me be undecided, let me make mistakes, let me find my passion, and give me time. I will figure it out eventually, and if I don't then I will be just fine.

I want to discover myself and not let myself be confined by the limits of a random major I felt pressured to choose. I just want to be successful. I want to be happy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
