This has to probably one of the most talked about topics in school. I feel like there is a love/hate relationship with this "conversation starter." If you aren't sure what you want to do, then the conversation can be very humbling and enlightening, or totally irritating depending on the person.

I plan to be completely transparent about this topic because I've seen it trouble so many students and I want more students to understand that no one knows what the rest of their life looks like no matter how confident they sound about it.

It's very important to plan but understand that you should live life as a student because life isn't going to always align with your ideas.

I must admit that the first few times I was asked this question without preparation, I was humbled. But who wouldn't be if you don't know what you want to do at any age between 12 and 20 something? When it comes to age, I really perceive everyone as a "baby" until you're approaching your 80's because you still have at least 20 more years of life to live, if not more. Of course, I don't address people much older than me this way but you get the point.

There are plenty of people over the age of 30, 40, 50, and 60 who have completely took hold of their lives or career paths and changed them to something drastically different. And succeeded by whatever their definition of success was.

God showed me about the career field he made for me and how I should look at the future in general. And there's something here for you to gain.

First, when it comes to college and this "grind" of the "microwave success" generation, I think it's easy to fall into the deception that just because everyone around you is moving on campus, they know what they're doing or where they're going.

But I think Denzel Washington was on to something when he said, "Never confuse movement with progress because you can run in place and not get anywhere".

The biggest thing God has taught me about life and my career field is that my mind isn't meant to be on people at all actually. I would definitely encourage you to keep your mind on your own life and positive things.

People shouldn't take up any space in your mind but positive things should. It's as simple as that. Try it! I dare you to make the decision now that for the rest of the week you will decide to keep your mind on what really matters in life, rather than people or things that don't. It really will change you for the better if you let it work.

I went through a bunch of different changes, shifts, confusion, feeling lost, feeling irrelevant, feeling like I had no purpose and more when I had no clue or awareness about what I was supposed to do in college.

I started out wanting to be an actress for the longest time. I remember I would always say that "I don't want to be one of those people that want to act and doesn't follow through". What's funny is that I didn't realize until I got older, just now actually as I typed this, that the fight I REALLY had in me was that I didn't want to be one of those people who let their dreams die.

But I did let the acting dream die in a sense. I started taking a lot of business classes in high school and I've always admired entrepreneurship. I learned at this age that I loved that "hustle".

When applying to schools I looked for the best schools to pursue business and I found East Carolina University. But when I started in business at ECU, it didn't go well.

I prayed a lot but I had to have a serious talk with him about what I was supposed to do with my career. I felt so lost.

I think that with this "self-promotion" generation that we live in, it created a lot of deception that I fell into. When you go on social media, no one really posts these types of tough times all the time. People don't typically keep their feeds completely transparent showing every hill and valley in their life.

I really started hearing God tell me that this wasn't what he wanted me to do.

During the time that I was pursuing a degree in Business Marketing, I started thinking that I wanted to preach.

So I started researching it and taking it very seriously. I tried being "all in" for it. I talked to anybody that I could about it and looked at what their day to day looks like.

That wasn't it.

The only thing I did know was that God wanted me to actually pursue my dreams of being in the media.

Side note: I really believe that I kept having this "AHA!" moments from seeking God and he just showed me more and more until I got to my dream career field.

Ever since I was little, and I mean really really little, God showed me this dream that was related to public speaking/media/communications/people all in one. He showed me that I needed to pursue my calling to media and communications.

There was a lot for me to consider in changing to this major of study because I would be pursuing this dream that God had been showing me for forever and I just felt like it would be more than I could imagine, which is a little terrifying and exciting all at the same time.

But with all of the emotions and humbling that I had to go through to get this revelation, how could I say 'no'? I was already all in and determined.

I'm learning that it was an impossible and unreasonable expectation to ever put on myself to have my entire life figured out when I'm still a kid compared to what lies ahead.
