i don't know why i'm in college. i really just wish that someone would have given me time to figure things out; but really, that wasn't even an option for me. my parents wouldn't allow it. i resent the people i see around me, all driven to do their schoolwork for some far off goal. i know i want that too, just not right now. i feel like i'm just doing the work because my peers are doing the work, and that some day i'm going to look back on my life and wonder how i got to where i am. i'm also scared that this ambivalence to my future will include other aspects other than study. i want to look back and know that i did the things i did because i wanted to.

1 comments (post a new comment)you are not alone. i went through the same thing, ended up dropping out and now regret all the time i lost. life experience will come to you as you go, study something you feel interested in, it doesnt matter what. somewhere along the way you will stumble upon a great passion. it may be while you are in school, it may be years later, in which case you can always go back for a masters. don't base your schooling on what high paying jobs will be available when you graduate. many graduates find employment in fields other than their major anyway.
i spent years struggling to find that one "right" major for me. now i wish i had just finished school so that i could be studying my true passion right now- which is architecture. instead i am plugging away at my core credits so that i can transfer to a program in two years. all of my freinds are buying houses and settling into an adult life, and i am still living at home and going to school! stick with it, you won't regret it.
