This week I picked my classes for the spring semester.  It was sort of an intimidating event for me.  I am by nature a very indecisive person.  Therefore at the opportunity to pick new classes my mind logically went to thinking about changing my major…changing my major…CHANGING MY MAJOR???  AHH!

Everything that I had been planning for since high school was going down the drain.  “What do I want to do after college?” this is something I kept asking myself.  This was also something that I did not have a clear answer to.  The next step I took in my quest, after calling my mom of course, was to talk to my advisor.

I sat down in her office and said I was having a major identity crisis.  She graciously laughed and said she was still trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life too.  A sense of relief overwhelmed me.  I thought, “Wow, if my professor is still thinking about it, then maybe I don’t need an answer.  Maybe I can just go for the profession that seems right at the time and I can always change my mind later on in life.  Maybe part of my indecisive nature will lead me to a new and exciting life with changes in my career as I mature.  I will be okay.  Now I only have to choose what classes I want to take for the next semester….
