Having just recently finished my sophomore year of college, I am having the time of my life. In two short years, I've gone on countless road trips, been to the club a few too many times, learned some valuable life lessons, and I have met amazing people. Who knew that college life would be this fun?

But as I conclude the first half of my college career, I can't help but reflect on how fast these past two years have gone by and wonder if the next two will pass just as fast. I'm 20 years old and scared to death that I am already halfway done with this chapter of my life. I have two more short years to live it up and answer the infamous question "What am I going to do with my life?" This my friends is what I'd like to call a mid-college crisis.

Though "mid-college crisis" might not be a legitimate term, it is definitely a real thing. In Urban Dictionary it is defined as 'the state of being in which a 2nd year college student still feels completely lost and attempts to re-examine the meaning of one's pathetic little life before becoming another useless member of society.' Alright, so our lives aren't pathetic, and we definitely don't plan on being a useless member of society, but one thing is true -- we all reach the point during our sophomore/junior year where we feel the need to reevaluate our lives.

I knew I was experiencing a mid-college crisis around the end of this past school year. I started questioning almost every decision I was making. Should I take that internship? What classes should I be taking? Do I really like being a communications major? Will I find a job in Raleigh once I graduate? You name it, I've questioned it. Only when I realized this was normal did I calm down. Everyone deals with these struggles, but that's what college is about, working through them and figuring it out.

So, what are you supposed to do about your new found crisis? First of all--chill out. You may be halfway done with college but that means you have another two years to decide what you want to do with your life, and you have two years to have fun and be carefree. Second, do things that will help you with making decisions for your future. Take the internship, get involved with your school, and meet as many people as you can. Doing this will help you network, and learn more about yourself in the process. Finally, let loose and have fun! Never again in your life will you have the opportunities you do now. You might be tired, but go to the social you have that night, spend time with your friends, and do things outside of your comfort zone. Make the most of the time you have left in college -- I promise you won't regret it.
