I Realized I Can Be Something

It's an odd feeling to be proud of yourself, I think I like it.

I Realized I Can Be Something

My college journey has not been the most positive. I failed (literally) at being a marketing major. My GPA plummeted, I lost the HOPE scholarship and was overall feeling like quite a disappointment. So I switched majors, found my passion for public relations and started getting back on track. Now here I am, set to graduate in December and start my "big girl" life with a college degree.

But it does not seem like enough. I saw my post-college life as me getting an okay job and just working for money to pay off my student loans, afford rent and buy a cat. But these past few weeks, I am realizing I might actually be good at public relations. I could actually maybe have a decent career. And that is a crazy thought for me.

Now, my future looks brighter to me and I am excited to see what I can do with my degree. I am also realizing that it is okay to be confident in my abilities and it is okay to be proud of myself. I can do this. Which is a thought I have not had in a very long time.

The point I am trying to make here is that eventually, you will find your path. It will take successes and failures and it will also take time. But do not settle, do not give up and do not limit yourself in your mind.

I remember how exciting summer was when I was a kid. I would just be eagerly waiting for school to end so that I could fly to some exotic location with my family for the summer. Or hang out with my friends every day. Or just lay around in bed or read, paint, draw, basically do whatever.
