I think the scariest thing is not knowing what the future holds. While that statement applies to countless circumstances, I'm talking about life after graduation - a career. For years, us students, work tirelessly to earn good grades and graduate with degrees. However, for those of us who don't quite have our shit together yet, graduation is a scary time.

I never knew what I wanted to do with my career, and quite frankly, I still don't. I entered college as a Business major, and in two weeks I was undeclared. Since then, I have chosen Journalism and through several college transfers, I am now an English major. It's funny and ironic actually that this is where that road has led me.

I swore in high school I would never do anything with grammar and absolutely HATED English, and here I am. When I was told that I couldn't be a Communications major because I applied two days too late my heart dropped. I couldn't understand what I would ever use an English degree for. Since researching I've learned that TONS of fields hire English majors for various jobs (so, not all hope is lost).

However, while I have tons of interests in different areas, nothing drives me in any direction for a career and as I approach graduation, panic sets in. The scariest part is not having school as my crutch. Sure, I will have received my extremely expensive paper that says I graduated, but that's it - time to make something of it.

It's terrifying to not have my path set in stone. I envy those who knew what they wanted freshman year and are well on their way to achieving it. The scariest thing is to feel like I won't ever find a career I'm happy with; one that never lives up to my dreams. I say that, but then people ask, "what's your dream job," and if only I knew...

The stress that choosing a major, or feeling forced into one causes, is immense. However, I am hopeful to find my way.
