"So, what do you plan on doing after you graduate?"
This one of the most dreaded questions every college kid has been asked if not every single holiday then at least some point in their career.
For the people that have a definite answer of the exact job, they are working towards, good for you. But, if you have no clue what you want to do you're not alone and it's okay.
The main problem with college students today is the pressure of having to not only know what they want to do but to pick a major and classes that are going to lead them in that exact direction. This is a decision that has to be made around the age of 18 and at that point, you haven't even lived two decades yet.
The pressure of selecting just one career path is hard by itself and it shouldn't be what defines your college experience. Picking one thing to do with your whole life seems almost limiting if there is one thing I learned during sorority recruitment it was that maximizing your options is key.
If you're like me sticking to one thing can be really hard.
I personally don't want to pick one thing to do for the rest of my life because that sounds boring and unrealistic. I want to try new things not just now but throughout my whole life because why should we ever stop?
Life isn't about repeating something until you simply can't anymore, it's about living in the moment and expanding your mind through different experiences.
The funny thing is we all like to pretend that we've got it all figured out but the truth is that nobody really ever does, not even adults.
In fact, the more you stress about not 'having it together' the more you'll lose sight of your goal in trying to find it.
Not to mention if you're not happy it's better to change what you're doing even if the timing isn't ideal than to remain unhappy because timing is always going to be a b*tch no matter when it is.
So the next time a relative, previous teacher or parent asks you what you're doing with your life doesn't be afraid to say you're not quite sure because I promise nobody really ever is.
