..college..that is..
This is often a question that I have a hard time answering. Most of my life I haven’t really felt that intense instinct that I’m supposed to be a certain profession when I get older. When someone is growing up it is often depicted in movies and television that people have this cosmic plan of their life. I don’t necessarily think that it is that easy.  I have been thinking about college since I was a sophomore in high school, and I still haven’t figured it out. Throughout my teenage years I have considered so many different things I wanted to do with my life and I just can’t settle.
Right now, I think that I am at one of the most pivotal times in my life.  When I came to Wright State this past fall I found myself choosing my major as Art because I thought that it might be what I wanted to do.  Although, I knew deep down that the major I had chosen I would have maybe liked to pursue, but not at Wright State. So as I went along with this major but I now know that it was more of a tactic of eliminating the option. At the end of the fall quarter it turned out that my instinct was right, and that I didn’t want to pursue Art here. I really like Wright State, but I just haven’t found my place yet.
In this winter quarter there are many things that I would like to figure out. I tend to think that I know myself very well as a person, I just haven’t really figured out how to apply that. It seems as if that I have so many interests, I just don’t really know what to do with them though. I think that I definitely have the ability to succeed academically; I just still don’t think I can pick a major quite yet. This winter I would like to find my place. I want to make the goal to strive harder and really be passionate about learning. I need to find the major that is perfect for me. A college education is a great thing and I hope that in these next ten weeks I can get moving on to my own path.
