For any college girls who feel as confused with life as I do.

Sincerely, Confused In College

I have just started my Sophomore year of college and I can’t help feeling confused about my life and future. I am confident in the major I have chosen and I am excited for the careers I can potentially have, yet I don’t know exactly how to get there or what to do. Some days I love college and I think, “YES THIS IS HOW I WILL BECOME RICH AND SUCCESSFUL,” and other days I want to drop out because my Survey of Accounting class makes no sense. I know many people I know joke about getting on Facebook and seeing all of their High School classmates pregnant, having kids, and starting families (which is highly accurate). In my opinion, that is crazy to think about because I still buy lunchables when I make weekly trips to Walmart and can’t even begin to think about that life for myself. This being said, I also know that many girls, myself included, imagine what the family life would be like and want it some on some level even though we know education always comes first. I feel like me and many other college girls just feel utterly confused as to what we want out of life since there are many routes to take. We want to end up entrepreneurs and doctors but we also want to be stay at home moms and watch our kids grow up; it seems confusing as to how we can do both at the same time. On another note, we also go from being in college and partially depending on our parents to becoming adults and needing to go out and find a career within a week of graduation. Which, honestly, is more confusing than anything because working a minimum wage job times a week is nothing compared to real life. All of this yet I ultimately know that whatever happens has been predetermined by the big man up stairs; however, I can’t help but be confused in college.

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.
