Straight out of High School
I just graduated high school and I have no clue what I want to major in! I’ve researched plenty but all i’ve hit is dead ends. With my first semester of college quickly approaching, I’ve become increasingly more stressed and anxious as each day passes. My whole life I’ve always had a plan of becoming a veterinarian, but now I’m not so sure? I see all my friends and classmates have they’re whole life figured out, yet I don’t? When I went to college orientation, everyone knew exactly what’s they wanted to do. When I seeked help from counselors, they looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I’m undecided in what I want to major in. I’ve always wanted (and still do) to work with marine animals. But I feel like that wont give me a stable job in the future? I just feel so stuck and unable to move forward. I see my older siblings know exactly what they want to do and have a successful and stable job. I feel so scared because I have so many goals in mind yet I don’t know how I’m going to achieve them. My parents tell me to major in public health but it hasn’t really grabbed my attention. When I picture myself in 10 years, i want to live in CA or outside the U.S., working with animals (of maybe something completely different); however, I don’t know how to get there. I feel like I’m struggling to stay afloat while everyone else is soaring through the sky (a bit dramatic haha). I’m excited for what college has to offer yet i’m incredibly nervous for the school work. I’ve been told by many people that college will be your best years in life, but right now I feel like it’s the worst. I took my high school years for granted and every time I think about it, I get so sad because I’ll no longer have that feeling of security, or knowing what I was going to do next. I hope I’m just being dramatic and college isn’t as bad as I think it’s going to be.
