Futures

 

Have you ever been asked "what do you want to do with your future?"  Did you think to your self no should I? I think that it should not matter because we will change our minds a million times by the end of college. I think that it is good to get us started thinking about our futures at a young age, but I also think that we should not have to figure out what we want to do for our entire lives in elementary school or in high school. Don't get me wrong it is great if you know what you want to do with your life! But if you are like me and change your mind all the time then what is the purpose? Some people don't even figure out what they want to do with there lives until they are done with their first year of college. My problem is not that I don't know what I want to do. It is that there is too much that I want to do with my life! We don't live long enough for me to do it all though. That means my problem is figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I mean seriously I have already changed my ind twice this semester and we are only in week seven of it. All that trying to figure it out is doing to me is giving me more stress than I already have from school. Which is not a good thing. I think that it is cool that colleges try to help you find the right college for you but what about the right career for you? Shouldn't there be something that helps you narrow down your list. There are so many options. When they ask you in elementary school you think just say something collage is so far away. Then you look up and you only have two and a half years of high school left and it is like where did all of that time go? You hear people say that high school goes by faster than elementary or middle, but you never really believe them until you are in high school. I can't believe that we are registering for our junior year this month! It seems like yesterday my friends and I were freshmen. One of my friends is signing up to be a senior which means next year is her last year in our school. You hear stories about people never talking again after high school, and it is not on purpose it just happens. All that I have to say to that is that they better all stay in touch with me. We all promised I hope that they remember. I think that is one of the scariest thoughts of leaving high school. You are leaving everyone and thing that you know and probably won't talk to them any more. Which is a very scary thought. Also I know what it feels like being a new kid I mean so far I have been to seven different schools. When we leave high school we will just be the new kids again and that idea kind of scares me.
