I am in my sophomore year of college. If there is anything I haven't learned more, it's that it's completely normal to second-guess myself.

There's this pressure that is put amongst us to always have a plan. To have a plan for your college career. To have internships lined up. To have experience. To know exactly what career you are going to go into once you graduate.

Not only in careers, but in life.

You are expected to be happy and completely content with your life. You should be traveling the world. You should be dating someone or seeing people. You should be experiencing every new thing you possibly can.

I get that.

But how is that possible?

We are teenagers who are in the transition to becoming actual adults, discovering who we are and what we like.

Yes, in high school, you may have thought that being a doctor was for you. Or you thought to become a teacher was exactly what you wanted to do with your life.

But then you took classes or interned, and really experienced what it would be like to be in that field. It just didn't feel right.

It's okay to change your mind once. It's okay to change your mind a billion times.

That's why being human is so amazing. We have the ability to change our minds whenever we want to. We are able to pursue what we believe makes us happy.

Also, I really want to point out that you don't need to be happy all the time. I know that there's a facade that's portrayed all over social media, that everyone is so freaking happy.

Sadness and pain are a part of life, and that's what leads us to transformation, going down new paths, and self-realization. To be happy all the time is, quite frankly, a life that has not been fully lived.

It's okay to fail.

It's okay to suddenly want to move to New York to become a fashion designer, even though you've been studying science.

It's okay to second-guess every decision you have made.

It's okay to change your mind.
