The future is scary. Especially the fact that in a short year my classmates and I will be thrown into "real life" (whether we are ready or not). I recently came across a quote "the best way to predict your future is to create it" - Abraham Lincoln. While the control we have on our future is exciting and comforting, it is also incredibly terrifying. There are so many paths my life can take in a year. Whether that be a communication job in corporate America, a position in the Teach for America program, or taking time to travel, the possibilities are endless.

I always joke about my indecisiveness, but now that the choices I make have a little more weight I need to learn to decide better. As I apply to internships this summer, I need to make a decision about what position I want to pursue so that the experience lines up with my future goals. What if my interests now don't match up with my interests in a year? The am I back to square one?

Here are some thoughts that have calmed be down about the future.
