"Never Give Up. Great Things Take Time". As I look around me, I see many people with such great and figured out lives. For a while now, I've been wishing that was me. I look at my friends, many whom I still talk to and others who I see on social media. A lot of my friends have degrees, great jobs, engagement, and many are even married. Often it made me think that I was doing something completely wrong. Why couldn't it be that easy for me to figure out a major and start my career? Why can't I start that exciting new adult life that many seem to be starting?

If you're like me, I went to college right after high school with a major set in mind. I was so set on becoming a teacher because of my love for kids. Within two semesters, I realized that teaching was not for me. I switched majors like there is no tomorrow and as I write this, I'm still debating on settling on a major. It's pretty scary to be settling one major that basically decides what you're doing for the rest of your life. I know I can't be the only one who is slightly freaking out.

Don't be discouraged if you need to change majors. It just goes to show how your learning and exploring new things about yourself every day. Instead of taking it as a step back, take it as a win. Your horizons are expanding and it's something you should be grateful for. From teaching to doctor to business to fashion and now writing. I take all these changes and newfound interest a blessing.

I believe that one of the processes of growing up is finding yourself within experiences and situations. We all go through life at a different pace. For some people, college will take four years but for others, it could take eight years. There really is no rush (even though at times I felt so pressured to finish quickly). That not only goes for school but for every situation that gets thrown your way. We are all rushing to grow up and begin that next part of our life yet we don't enjoy the process.

So I write this for all the new college students out there, the ones who are still in college, and whoever is struggling with having it together. It's okay to not have your life all figured out. Take time deciding on what major you want to study. Read up on all the information you can so you know what to expect. Make sure you enjoy whatever classes you are taking. Enjoy life without stressing about what's to come because we are not promised tomorrow. We are all still young and full life, don't let the fear of the future stop you from being in the moment.
