Is This Really What I Want?

I just hope that someday all the hard things will be worth it.

Is This Really What I Want?

We have just hit the six week mark in the semester, and although I have had my hard days in class some of my classes almost seem too easy, plus I am also just finishing up my general education credits. I recently changed my major to public relations and some days I question if that was the right decision. Although I know I will love my job one day, it is just that right now in this moment I am questioning if this is what I want.

I think the reason that my classes seem somewhat easy is the fact that they are the subjects I am good at, since they are not science or math classes. But it still makes me wonder if there is something that I could be better at, or if I should be challenging myself with something harder. When I think about challenging myself though I remember how badly I did in biology last year and wonder if I would want to put myself through that again. Everyday I question if I should even be going to school or if I should just be a nanny all the time instead of just for the summer. But then I realize that my family and closest friends would probably kill me if I dropped out. So then I think about what else I could do at school, but then I realize that I am a person who is better at writing and reading and there is not always a whole lot you are able to do with that. Basically, I go through this conversation with myself in my head everyday. By the end, I start thinking about if I am just taking the easy way out of school with my major because it is easy but also maybe other people would have a hard time with all the writing courses I have to take.

I just wish there was a way for me to have all the answers, not for the test, but for when I start to question myself. For the times that I am unsure of the things that I want to do for the rest of my life. I now realize that when I think about the long term future, I am very excited to see where public relations will take me with my life. So, if you are EVER questioning if this is really what you want to do, just take a step back and look at all your options. Look at where you have come from that has made you choose this path in life, think about all the places you will go later in life because of what you want to do right now. It is the moments like this that I stop and think, that I realize this really is what I want to do.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
