Is This Really What I Want?

I just hope that someday all the hard things will be worth it.

Is This Really What I Want?
TxMQ

We have just hit the six week mark in the semester, and although I have had my hard days in class some of my classes almost seem too easy, plus I am also just finishing up my general education credits. I recently changed my major to public relations and some days I question if that was the right decision. Although I know I will love my job one day, it is just that right now in this moment I am questioning if this is what I want.

I think the reason that my classes seem somewhat easy is the fact that they are the subjects I am good at, since they are not science or math classes. But it still makes me wonder if there is something that I could be better at, or if I should be challenging myself with something harder. When I think about challenging myself though I remember how badly I did in biology last year and wonder if I would want to put myself through that again. Everyday I question if I should even be going to school or if I should just be a nanny all the time instead of just for the summer. But then I realize that my family and closest friends would probably kill me if I dropped out. So then I think about what else I could do at school, but then I realize that I am a person who is better at writing and reading and there is not always a whole lot you are able to do with that. Basically, I go through this conversation with myself in my head everyday. By the end, I start thinking about if I am just taking the easy way out of school with my major because it is easy but also maybe other people would have a hard time with all the writing courses I have to take.

I just wish there was a way for me to have all the answers, not for the test, but for when I start to question myself. For the times that I am unsure of the things that I want to do for the rest of my life. I now realize that when I think about the long term future, I am very excited to see where public relations will take me with my life. So, if you are EVER questioning if this is really what you want to do, just take a step back and look at all your options. Look at where you have come from that has made you choose this path in life, think about all the places you will go later in life because of what you want to do right now. It is the moments like this that I stop and think, that I realize this really is what I want to do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
