Adults often call college the best time of your life. Like myself, I am sure that everyone has had this phrase told to them at some point. But when you finally get to college, the place you have heard so much about and have been counting down the days til you move in, it definitely does not always seem as great as it was said to be.

Of course there are good times. You could meet people that you wonder how you had made it so far in live without them. You could enjoy all the classes you are taking and the professors teaching them.

The good times happen and so do the ones that make you question aspects of your life. You may question who exactly you are and what your next step will be. People always think that we have to have a set plan or know exactly what we want to do with our lives at the age of 18. But in my opinion, we are really just now starting to figure out who we are. If you know exactly what you want to be and you have a set plan that is great.

It also is just as okay to not know what we hope for the rest of our life to look like. Questioning this may lead to discoveries of your true passions, and from there it may become easier to answer the daunting question of what do you want to do with your life.

College does have the potential to be one of the greatest times in our lives but with that we must be able to recognize this:

Everyone has questions, and everyone has fears and it is certainly okay for everyone to have them. With the questions and fears you have, you should work to overcome them. Once you do, relief will come as you will finally feel as if what you choose to do is what you are meant to do.

Whatever you are meant to do, I am sure you will excel in it and will be so happy to have originally had questions about what was best for you.
