When you apply to your dream college and receive your acceptance letter you are beyond ecstatic. All the hard hours of school work and late nights where you didn't sleep, have paid off. The next thing you know, you are graduating from high school with just one summer's time standing between you and your future. It's an amazing feeling knowing that you are about to dive head first into what is basically the rest of your life. However, with this initial feeling comes a frightening one.

For me I went into my first semester of college not knowing what I wanted to do with "the rest of my life" when everyone else seemed to have had it completely figured out. Everyone that I knew seemed to have had their whole next stage of their lives completely planned, with all of the details perfectly laid out. Then there was me, the person who used to have their life figured out, or so I thought. I had originally went into planning my life by entertaining the idea of being a physician's assistant or becoming a person with a biology degree. Then I took my advanced placement biology class, which really showed me that I couldn't stand to be a biology major (so props to all of you who are headed into the biology field!).

Now I was at some crossroads in my life where I had no idea where to turn. The only thing I could do was to go back to what I knew best. In this case, it was my love for psychology and my business mindset.

I have grown up through life with my parents working in a corporate business setting. I was raised that to be successful you have to work hard at everything you do and that you are the one that holds the key to unlock the rest of your life. My father has taught me the ways of business and my mother has taught me that with perseverance you will triumph.

With that in mind, I decided to follow what my heart was telling me and not my head. I decided to throw myself into making a career out of these two big ideas. That's when in my first college psychology class brought up this idea of psychology being utilized in the business world. That's when it clicked, and now here I am.

Life is all about these little spontaneous "click" moments. It's just like the time you took off your training wheels and finally found the right way to balance yourself on your two-wheeled bike. Or the time you scored the game winning goal. Everything in those moments just feels right and like nothing could ever take that feeling way from you. Live for those moments and work your hardest to get there. In picking your major you will have ups and downs that make you feel like you're better off without college (when you're not always better off).

So if you get lost on a journey, just keep on keeping on. And if you ever find yourself alone in the middle of a crossroads in your life, pick a path, and if that one isn't right for you, walk back to that fork in the road and take the other. Eventually you will reach that "click" in your life and no longer be lost on the journey. So just remember "not all who wander are lost".
