Here I am, a college sophomore soon to be junior (if we count by credits), and I have a confession: I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know where my life is headed and I have no clue how to juggle all that my life entails. But, you know what? It's okay.
I know my major. That's about all I know. I have so many ideas as to what I want to do but no idea how I want to go about achieving my goals. Do I want to go to grad school? I think so? But to be honest, all I know right now is that I'm trying so hard to just make it through this semester's courses. Heck, I don't even know which second foreign language I hope to take and that's a decision I have to make fast. I have no clue what to do with academic decisions but I know it'll sort itself out in time.
I know I have signed up for leadership roles. What I don't know is whether or not I can continue in those roles and be the happy girl I was a year ago. The stress of time commitments plus studies and the attempt of a social life sends me into a frenzy and leads to a horrible anger that I hate to experience. I'm overwhelmed without a clue as to how to go about it. Hopefully the decision will be clear soon.
I know that I have responsibilities, but I don't know how to manage time. I'm trying to not stress out but this is college. To all of you freshmen and upperclassmen alike, it's okay to not know. Nothing is supposed to make sense right now no matter how much we wish for it to. Life is confusing at best and we may never know the next step until we take it.
I guess the point in this article is to assure you guys that it's okay not to have things figured out. Pray, think, and dare to make choices based upon what's best for you. I'm still learning. I'm sure you are, too.
