What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

We are asked this question from the time we go to school as kindergartners. We always change our minds first we want to be ballerinas, singers, firefighters, policeman, astronauts and things of that nature. We either change our minds because we lose interest or someone has convinced us that that job is not what we think it will be and shut our dream down.

Or perhaps we truly don't know what you want to do. Well, I hope that I can help.

What are your interests or hobbies? If you truly love doing something you can be successful at it.

For example, if you like to sew or cook maybe you can teach a class. If you like video games or movies, why not try being a critic of new material? If you like working out, how about becoming a personal trainer or physical therapist?

Sit down and ask yourself what you truly enjoy doing and then do some research. What can you do with what you truly love and skills that you already possess or could learn?

And if you do know what you want to do, I am here to tell you that if you really want to do something then strive for it! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
