As a junior I keep getting the question, “you are graduating soon what are you going to do with your degree?” And the honest answer is that I have no idea. At first, I felt a sense of shame that I did not have the answer to this question. So I made stories up that sounded good to the ear and made people believe that maybe, indeed, I did have my life together. Honestly, I am so far from having it together, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Personally, college has taught me a lot, both good and bad. I've learned a lot of things about myself that I previously did not know. It has also pushed me out of my comfort zone to try new adventures. Through some of those adventures I have learned about some things that feed my soul that have really made me question my career.
There is so much world out there to see, so many people in amazing professions to seek, so many places to travel. In this world there is so much one person can do, so many people someone can inspire, and so many things one can achieve. So, I believe that is why I have such a hard time answering the question of what I am going to do with my degree.
I am so young in this great big world, that I just can’t see myself settling to a one track plan. Maybe I’m crazy, or irrational, but I believe that being one of us unsure college students is okay. It’s okay to not want to settle. It's okay to grow and learn that a different major may be for you. It’s okay to be ever-changing, because in reality that is exactly how the world around us is: endlessly learning, growing, and changing.
