It takes a lot of skill to have all the answers all the time, and we all know a few people who seriously know everything. It's honestly annoying how witty and clever they are, and just so aggravating that they have it all together. Especially when you don't. I am a sophomore in college and still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I have a major and I'm working on that right now, but I feel like everyday I want to do something different. Every time I think about my major I think "What if I grow up and have spent all this time and money on learning this material, then get to the job and hate it"? I want to be happy, stable, and successful, but it's hard to think that, that one choice decides all of that for the rest of my life.

Not knowing is OK. I think it's ok to change majors 50 times and go to school your whole life, if that's what you want, by all means go for it! You don't have to have every step of your life planned out to go a certain way, because I guarantee you it wont all happen the way you expect it to. Life is about the ups and downs, and I think that is what makes you who you are more than any major you chose in college. Experience is what makes you grow and what challenges you and what makes you motivated to know more. The choices you make in your life and all the roads you go down are all just chapters to the story you'll be able to tell one day. No matter what you do with your life you're going to learn and gain knowledge from the experiences you go through. What I'm trying to say is that you can choose a road to go down and fulfill that part of your life, then choose another route and start the next part of your life.

I have worried so much about what I am going to do and it's been so hard to choose between what I want to do and what I know I need to do in order to have stability, but is that what it's really about? Being happy is so important. I may not know what I want to do with my life, but I do know that whatever I decide to do I just want to be happy, and everyone has a different idea of what that is for them. You'll meet people along the way who will say "I still don't know what I want to do" or "you don't need to feel rushed. You have all the time in the world"! If those people are true then why do we often feel like we are running out of time? If you have anything on your side it's time. Most of us are in our early twenties and are starting to think about a family and career goals we want to accomplish. Don't rush that, take your time to be an adult and learn how to manage the time you are given before planning out your future. slow down and live in the moments that you have and cherish those. It's not everyone's life plan to have a life plan at the age of 18. If you're feeling rushed and confused, or uncertain about having to choose, then don't. Experience life don't just live through it. The time you waste not living your life is time that you don't cherish. Time wasted is not time, and no time is a sad excuse for not living.
