How You Know You're An Indecisive Person
Sayur Wortel

To the person who can't make up their mind, there comes a point in our lives where we hit a crossing. The things we thought were mediocre task come around again and you begin to notice they were actually stairs to success.

Sometimes it is a part of life, a new transition you are meant to take. Other times it might be a serious of decisions that have led you to this point. Either way the same feeling is always there. The empty pit in your stomach and sweaty palms. You begin to question when and how you got yourself into this situation. For any indecisive person making a decision is one of the most grueling processes of one's life.

Most people who hate change usually put it off until the last minute. Then when the deciding hour comes it becomes a war between your heart and mind. What usually happens, especially when making a big decision, the heart and mind have two different answers. The heart says, "This will make you happy." But your mind interferes to say, "This is the more logical decision." That is when a decision has to be made on whether to follow one's heart or to follow one's mind. As a child we are often told to pray about it and the answer will come but in those hours it feels as if God's message is stuck in Austin traffic. So in the mean time you just wait...... No you don't. You actually subdue yourself to the downward spiral you think your life is going in because you can't make a decision.

At some point you decide to make a pro and con list. While you do that it seems like both lists contradict the other. As a indecisive person you decide that by some way your list has been compromised and decide to chuck the worthless wad in the garbage. Then you start to do the worst thing you could possibly do, ask for advice.

People usually say this is good but that's a load of crap. Each person has an opinion and the more people you ask the more responses you get. Each person will tell you their pick and their reasoning behind it and you'll realize you're screwed. That's because as an indecisive person not only do you have to make a decision, now. But now you have to decide on which people's advice you should actually take to solve the decision you already can't solve. At this point you are probably so overwhelmed that you just take a nap, you deserve a nap. Then you wake up and start to weigh them again. Suddenly it just becomes clear as if your decision was always staring you square in the eyes. That's when you know you've found a decision that is best for you.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
