I can’t believe I made it this far already. It seems like just yesterday, I graduated from high school, moved into my dorm, and started my first semester of college. I have learned and grown so much this past year. If you had asked me three years ago what I wanted to do with my life after I graduated high school, I would have said that I didn’t know and that I was still trying to figure it out. And to think that Now I’m in my second year of college already and I am on my way to graduate soon and that I will have to figure out what I want to do when I graduate college now. It’s crazy how fast time can pass.
What do I want to do? That is the question. What do I want to do? There is so much I want to do. I don’t know if I want to code, work in design, or be a photographer. I don’t know how one goes about finding their “calling in life.” There is so much more to it than just picking. I want to enjoy it, I don’t want to tell myself I picked the wrong career path, and then have to go back to the drawing board of what I want to do. I want to find something I will enjoy and love doing every day, something I won’t get bored of, and something financially stable. And money is a whole ‘nother thing. Should you pick a job that pays better than something you will enjoy doing for the rest of your life?
I have learned many things during my time at Southeast Technical College. I have learned how to video edit, how to edit photos, how to create ads, how to properly design, learn more about coding, how to properly take pictures, and much much more. And this year I am going to learn more! There is so much compiled in two years and I will probably learn more along the way.
I know I am probably stressing myself out over nothing, but the future can be scary. It’s unpredictable and mysterious and I know there will be many twists and turns along the way. But I also know there straight paths that I will follow and If one door closes another will open. All I can do now is do my best and not worry about the future because it’s in the future. I am going to choose to focus on the here and now. And that now is to get through my first semester of this new school year.
So if you are also wondering what you should do and are worrying about the future or maybe aren’t happy with where you are now. See where your path in life takes you and trust that doors will always open. Always remember that change can be good!
