It's Okay To Change Your Life Plan

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.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
