I Don't Have My Life Figured Out, But That's Okay

The key is to remain open to different options and to remain positive.

In a few short months, I graduate college. Which means in a few short months I begin "adulting." The real world just keeps getting closer and closer. I will tell you right now, that I honestly do not know what I want to do with my life. I have ideas, but nothing that is set in stone. I am not sure if I want to do something related to my majors or to go into a field completely different. I am not sure if I want to move back to my hometown or if I want to try a city I have never even been to. And this is okay. I am positive that I have said many similar things at different points leading up to now about different circumstances and in every case everything has turned out fine in the end.

Many people think that at this point I should have my life completely figured out and follow the societal path step by step to lead me to a successful future. First, you graduate college, then you get a job straight out of college, move out of your parent's house, get married and have children. But in today's world, this is becoming much less realistic. Not everyone follows this plan, in fact, it is becoming less and less common. There are so many options and I truly believe that God has a plan, and what is meant to be will happen. Not everyone is made to follow the path, and many people take different approaches to create their own path through life.

So, if you are like me, take a deep breath, and relax. In the end, everything will be okay and you will end up where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing. The key is to remain open to different options and to remain positive. This has worked for me in the past, and I believe that it will continue to do so in the future.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
