We are College kids… well technically “young adults” but it does not feel like it. It feels like we were forced to make these big decisions that impact our lives when we were barley getting an idea of what we want to do. We had to pick a college, a major, a whole new version of ourselves and it feels like a overwhelming heartache and honestly I know I do not feel happy with what I landed with.
I was 17 when I entered college and now, I am 19 and the girl who I was two years ago I cannot recognize her at all. I made these big life decisions to make her happy to give her what she thought she wanted. Sitting here now I know I was never seeing the big picture the light at the end of the tunnel.
I want different career goals and life goals. I starts taking more control for myself and as I did this I realized just how much I had messed up. For me the biggest mistake I made was where I decided to go to college. I chose a school one because the pandemic only was giving me so many options and two because I was still that scared little girl who was picking an option that I thought would fill her desires and it didn’t.
So here I am now not happy where I am and what I have chosen. What do I do? Well, personally I know that it’s time for me to transfer out of my university and to a school that can provide me with what I need. And I want you to know it’s okay if that you too. If you think transferring to a school that has the things you need, or is big enough to your liking, or even in a better location than you should chose that for yourself is what is best than DO IT!
It’s time to figure who we really are out I know I want to be happy with the decisions that I make, and I do not want to have regretted and animosity towards my decisions and the things they result in. I know it can be scary to change your mind or even follow your heart, but you have to do so for your happiness. My family wanted me to go to school to be a nurse, but I want to be a journalist, my family wanted me to do what they wanted in every regard of my life and at first, I was willing to do that. But now I can tell them it is time for me to do what I want for myself. I finally feel happy I decided to go to a bigger university, my major has a better program and I will get to grow. I am figuring out who I am as a person and it feels so good, and it is because I took the time to sit and think ask myself am I happy. So I ask you after hearing my little tangent ask yourself Are You Happy ?
