An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

To those who don't yet know their passion,

It will be okay. You will find it. Here I am writing all of this advice to you, yet I am hard on myself every day because I am still clueless. It's one of those things where I am surrounded by coworkers who love their jobs and are so happy with where they are at. Those closest to me have been enduring school for years because they have a dream. But, here I am, working a job that I am not in love with and not having a clue where to go next. Sure, I have hobbies but I am not sure if any of those would turn into a passion. Perhaps, we will have to see.

Passion. Something we earn for. Something we base our lives off of. But yet, a day doesn't go by where I have absolutely no idea what my passion is.

No matter how hard I brainstorm, how hard I plan, or how much I put myself out there - nothing has clicked. I want to feel that fire and smile without realizing it simply because I love what I am doing. But what I have come to find, is that there is no age limit to find your dream job, your dream partner, or have your dream house. All of it is still possible and just because you are officially an adult does not mean that you have to have your life all figured out. You don't need to have it all, yet.

In the meantime, I plan on enjoying every moment that I have on this earth. Life is short, such a cliche, but incredibly true. Stop and smell the roses. Be open to new tasks. Take on a project that you would not have had interest in before. Continue your learning anyway possible.

Before you know it, your dream will come true. Slowly the puzzle pieces will fit together and form the big picture you have been waiting to reveal itself for quite some time now.

Sincerely,

Someone trying to find their passion too

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
