I'm Not Quite Sure Where I'm Going Yet

Life is a wild ride and you will never know where one chapter ends and another begins.

I'm Not Quite Sure Where I'm Going Yet

I am a sophomore in college. The age where everyone expects you to have everything figured out. At 19 everyone thinks you need to have your entire future completely figured out. The truth is, I don't know where I'm headed yet. I don't know what the next 2 years look like and I most definitely don't know anything farther than that.

But I do know one thing for certain, I am going to make sure I make a beautiful life for myself. Whatever it takes and whatever it looks like, it will be beautiful.

The older I have gotten the more I realize that you are not in as much control as you think you are. You can plan out your years, but more than likely everything will change. Circumstances are everything. Life is completely unpredictable and you are fooling yourself if you think you can control every little thing. I know it sounds scary and maybe a little pessimistic, but it's the truth. Life is a wild ride and you will never know where one chapter ends and another begins.

Nothing is perfect. Things go wrong. Sometimes you have to start over. Sometimes your world crumbles around you. But guess what? You are going to be ok. You are going to end up right where you need to be, with the people you need to be with.

So no, I'm not quite sure where I am going yet. I don't even know who I will be. But I do know that I can only do my best given the circumstances. I know I'll end up right where I need to be in the end. I trust in God's plan and I find a great deal of comfort in knowing that even though I don't have a plan, he does.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
