It's Okay To Change Your Life Plan

Something I Know I Need To Hear

It's Okay To Change Your Life Plan
google

Since I was a little kid, I knew deep down I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to teach high school and maybe even be a principal one day. But that changed this year.

While working as an RA on my campus and being a member of the Regional Board of Directors of NEACURH and found a new passion for Student Affairs. And now, I have been questioning my whole future and my life basically.

So what do I do now? That was my first question to my parents; would they support me if I changed my life plan? Short answer, they did, as long as I did my research and tried my best. That was some relief. But still, my whole life has been determined to make a difference in high schoolers life and teach history to students. And now, I don't know what I want to do.

Growing up, I thought at age 20 I needed to have my whole life figured out, so it is weird to me that I am here. That being said, I have come to accept that it is okay. At this age in my life, I know that it is okay if I don't know what I want to do with my life. Life has a weird way of playing out, and things not going as planned, is normal.

So right now, who knows what I will be doing when it comes for a year, but I will be applying for grad school for both Student Affair and Special Education. But it's okay to not know what exactly is going to happen in a year. It's okay to wait and take some time to figure out what you want.


Basically, it's okay to not have your life planned, it's okay to change your path in life.

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.
