College, future, scary things like that
Ever since I've been here at UT, the first question most people have asked me is "What's your major?" Well, being undecided, this is always sort of embarrassing in a way for me to answer. I feel like people are expecting some great, elaborate plan for my future and all that. Well, I just don't have one. I really despise the fact that I have to choose what I want to do for the rest of my life when I'm 19 years old. I don't even know what I want for breakfast tomorrow morning, let alone what I want to do for the rest of my life. I change my mind daily. Seriously, I've gone from dentist to nurse to accounting back to nurse then back to accounting. It's a roller coaster of choices, and none of them really even go together. As of today, I'm still considering accounting, mainly because I'm pretty good at math, and my accounting class lets me do fun balance sheets and things like that. I've basically ruled out the other two considered careers because I've realized how completely awful I am at sciences like biology/chemistry, and I just would rather not put myself through a zillion of those classes to graduate. So, as of now, I'm an undecided major with interests in accounting. Though I just tell people who ask that I'm undecided and leave it at that. Why does everyone want to know that anyway? Oh well. All I really want is a job that I won't wake up every morning dreading work. I want to wake up and think "Yeah, time for work!" ...or at least be semi-happy to go, you know?

I do not think there is anything wrong with being undecided. :) half the people who weere decided have already changed or will change their major anyway before they graduate so why not wait and make sure you pick a major you will enjoy? I had a chemistry/physics teacher in high school who told me that if I love what i do for a living then I will be good enough that people will want to pay me to do it and my job will not feel like "working" at all. It will feel like getting paid to have fun.
ReplyDeleteSammie, you'll figure it all out. There is time. You've got a good attitude and good head on your shoulders... And you're super smart on top of all that. I can't see you being anything but wonderful at whatever you end up doing. The future is exciting! Weee!
