At this time last year, I loved writing Odyssey Articles every week. It was my favorite pass time. I would write them whenever I was bored and then next thing I knew I was several weeks ahead in my articles. Now I just can't seem to write one simple article a week.
One thing that I love about the Odyssey is that it is so fun. I can write about anything I want. I'm not limited to my work. So why has it been so hard for me to write one small article a week? I'm a journalism and media communication and public relation double major. Writing is supposed to be easy for me, right?
This semester I am taking a class that has really made me look into exactly why I am a journalism major. This class is all about writing and using AP style. I have found myself to hate this class. Journalism is based around this class and if I can't seem to like this class, then why am I a journalism major?
I have been reconsidering everything. While I have been reconsidering everything, it really made me realize that I have no idea what my life will look like in the next 5 years. What kind of job will I have? Where will I be living? Will I even be using the degree that I will earn?
Just because I am a journalism major does not mean that I will have to be writing for a living. I could use my degree to work with the media, run a company, or even be an event planner. I'm only 20 years old and I don't have to have my entire life figured out. I think that this is hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I can't plan out my entire life in outline form, but with time I hope that I can get more comfortable with knowing that everything happens for a reason. For right now I just need to enjoy where I am and focus on the things that I like.
