I’m sure not everyone knows where he or she is going yet. Actually, I’m pretty sure no one really knows.

People always ask, parents and relatives mostly, “What are you going to do after college?” or when you go to job interviews you always get the good old, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” Frankly, who knows? How can you even tell?

This is the thing: how can you know where you are going to be in 10 or even four years? I don’t even know where I will be tomorrow. Life should be about adventure and doing what you really want, not what someone told you to do, or what the ‘academic planning session’ has you doing. I mean, take the path if you must, some peoples' fate runs on the path given, but most of us choose the path less traveled. I’m not saying go quit your job and see the world, even though that would be great, I’m just saying that it's okay to not know where you're heading. You can be a college student, you could be working nine-to-five. Things change, people change.

I have no idea where I’m headed; my mind has been in about seven different directions since I had my morning coffee. I already changed my major and I’m in my first semester. I love college, but I’ve been homesick for the past month. I don’t like to doubt, but it's been happening a lot. But I’m pretty sure it’s okay.

I think it's okay not to know where you’re going. Maybe that the fun in everything, the not knowing. Look at Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of "Eat, Pray, Love." She didn’t have a clue where she was going; she just went. Now she has a movie and wrote all these books making millions of dollars. Like I said before, this article isn’t to make you get up from what you are doing and buy a plane ticket — don’t be irresponsible. I just want to make you and everyone else aware that a lot of us don’t know where we are headed. We shouldn’t be pressured to figure it out either. Maybe you think you want to be a doctor now, and then you find yourself loving photography. It’s okay. Don’t stress.

You're not alone.
