Something I Know I Need To Hear

It's Okay To Change Your Life Plan

Since I was a little kid, I knew deep down I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to teach high school and maybe even be a principal one day. But that changed this year.

While working as an RA on my campus and being a member of the Regional Board of Directors of NEACURH and found a new passion for Student Affairs. And now, I have been questioning my whole future and my life basically.

So what do I do now? That was my first question to my parents; would they support me if I changed my life plan? Short answer, they did, as long as I did my research and tried my best. That was some relief. But still, my whole life has been determined to make a difference in high schoolers life and teach history to students. And now, I don't know what I want to do.

Growing up, I thought at age 20 I needed to have my whole life figured out, so it is weird to me that I am here. That being said, I have come to accept that it is okay. At this age in my life, I know that it is okay if I don't know what I want to do with my life. Life has a weird way of playing out, and things not going as planned, is normal.

So right now, who knows what I will be doing when it comes for a year, but I will be applying for grad school for both Student Affair and Special Education. But it's okay to not know what exactly is going to happen in a year. It's okay to wait and take some time to figure out what you want.


Basically, it's okay to not have your life planned, it's okay to change your path in life.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

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.
