I am going into my sophomore year of college, and my classmates and friends are beginning to decide their career paths and figure out what they want in life. I am forging my own path too, but I always feel as though I am the only one who feels lost.

When I was choosing a college, I had this same feeling of being lost. It was a life-changing decision, so I was uncertain about my choice until I finished my first semester at JCU. The first year of college I was comforted by the idea that I was just a freshman so I still had three years to decide what I wanted to do.

Unfortunately, a year passes much quicker than expected, and now it is time to begin making decisions.

As of right now, I am double majoring in journalism and political science, which are areas I find very intriguing.

However, everyone I come in contact with does not hesitate to inform me that journalism is a dying medium, and I should focus on a different area of study.

I was uncertain of my major when I began college, and I chose journalism because of my love for writing.

Having other people’s doubts and reservations in mind, I think about my future and how lost I feel.

There is not a clear track that I could take.

If I were to be an education major, I would know that teaching is where my future is heading, or if I was a pre-med major I would be pondering medical school.

However, as a journalism and political science major, there are multiple possibilities of where my life can go.

Even though I feel lost and confused, I know that I have choices and at some point in the future everything will fall into place.

For now, I will enjoy my classes and hopefully find some internships that will help me to figure out my future career.
