My whole life from the time I could remember, I was always asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?". I would say up until the age of 10 I always wanted to be a famous singer. Just so everyone knows, I can't sing even if my life depended on it.

From the age 10 to about 14 I wanted to be an actress. I can't act for my life, though my parents always told me I'm full of drama and that I would be the perfect actress. They're wrong, ha-ha. But from the age 15 and on, I started to get serious about what I want to be in life. What is the best field for me to be in? What interest me?

I think I know what I want to do down the road into my future, but I'm still unsure. It's okay if you don't know what you want to do with your life just yet. It may seem like everyone expects you to know what you want to do with your life, but no one expects you to have your whole life figured out just yet. I always felt that way, until one day a college professor told me that it was okay to not know what you wanted to do with yourself, as long as you follow your dreams and don't give up.

That's got me thinking. Out of all the people in my life, my college professor said it's okay to not know what my plans are for the future. That it's okay to be unsure what I want to do career wise. It made me feel better. Knowing that someone was telling me that going to college as a liberal arts major was not a "waste of time". More people my age need to hear that. More people going to college need a professor like that. A supportive professor who wants to see their students succeed. I can't tell you how many professors I had who told me I was wasting my time if I didn't have an idea of what I wanted to do in life. Sometimes it just takes one person to give you that push to want to continue.

But, this is the time for people 18 to 22 years of age to live their lives. To be free. To be spontaneous. To have fun. This is when we can do whatever we want. Go wherever we want. Be whatever we want. I may not have any idea of where I'm going to end up in life. What I'm going to be when I get older. Where I'll end up when I finish college. But, that's fine. I'm living my life to the fullest right now. I'm just your average "I don't know what I'm doing with my life yet, but I'm having fun" as a 20-year-old, and that's okay.

To everyone who's on the same boat as me, it's okay to not have your life all planned and ready yet. Continue to go to school. Continue to try and figure out your future. But, don't forget to have fun. Don't forget to live your life to the fullest. In the end, it's okay to not have a plan, because it will all come together in one way or another.
