I have always been a planner. I try to plan my life in every aspect. If I have a goal, I know exactly the plan of action I have to take to achieve it. I'm not too much of a risk taker. I like to have all my options laid out in front of me. I used to think I had everything figured out. I thought I knew exactly what I was doing with my life and where it was taking me, but then college rolled around and everything changed.

When I started to apply to colleges I declared my major of study. I thought I had my plan to the degree I wanted and the career paths that followed. The first day of my freshman year of college I was ready to start my pursuit to what I thought was exactly what I wanted. I had my plan mapped out and ready to go. However, about 15 minutes into my first college class I thought to myself "no". I had a realization that the subject that I was so determined to go into, I actually didn't want to study at all. Since my first day of college I have changed my major three times and may change it a few more times before I graduate. Who knows?

I used to be a ball of stress trying to create a new plan for myself. Though, I realized that most of friends and peers in college didn’t have a plan either. The bottom line is I don't really have a plan for the rest of my life right now, and that's okay. It's okay to not know what you want to do for the rest of your life. I have been asked countless times "What do you want to do with your life?" and I always give them the same honest answer – I have no idea.

There is so much pressure on young people to know exactly what they want to do by the time they turn 18.That expectation is completely unrealistic. I don't know where my life will take me at this point and oddly

enough I find that very exciting. Plans always fall through because life is full of surprises.

It's okay to be uncertain Life has a way of making sure everything works out.
