I find myself at a crossroad in my life. I have some big decisions ahead of me for the next year. And I can't figure out what the heck to do. It just feels like sometimes I have all this pressure being thrown at me and I'm just putting off dealing with it.
I mean college is coming up soon. Not immediately but close enough that I still have to look at colleges and start picking out anything I might want to major in. I have a few things in mind but none of them pan out to be great careers. Music classes would be the obvious choice since I'm in band, but I don't feel like I have the dedication to it. I've been told I have potential as a writer, so I might take some literature courses, but there are a few things wrong with that. I'm not entirely confident with my so-called "ability" and if I come down with writer's block I just might starve. A few other things I've always been interested in is Philiosophy and Sociology, and Humanities, but unless I want to be the next Homer that's not a path that will lead to a living either.
The point is that I know I want to go to college and study something I'm interested in, but at the same time I don't want to waste time and money on something that won't help me later on in life.
And that's just school, but I don't feel like diving too much into my other problems and boring whoever's reading this with a mindless rant about my personal life. So for now I'll just say that I'm at a crossroads and eventually I'll have to continue on my journey, but for now I'm just trying to make up my mind.
