Lately I've been thinking about some things and I'm trying to sort it all out. And I suppose I can kill two birds with one stone.... sort out my thoughts and update my blog. I can't believe I haven't posted since Halloween...oh that blessed day! :)
Side note: I am at work waiting for my mom to pick me up to go to Disney on Ice (yay!) and I got sick of working so I clocked out and am now just writing this lovely post. Sorry, long explanation for the little side note I was trying to make. The actual side note is that the computer I usually work on is getting fixed so I am using a different computer and the keyboard is all wacko. The period key makes a semicolon. Random, I know. I'm just mentioning this so you understand if I forget and there are randomly tons of semicolons all over the place
Back to the "meat" of the post. As you may have assumed from the title of this post, I am a wee bit uncertain. Uncertain about what to do with my life; Yes, I know this may shock some of you. Me, uncertain? Me, the person who has pretty much always known what she would do with her life and has been almost obsessively preparing for this future career; (For any of you who don't know, that future career plan is editing and publishing)
I am not exactly deciding that I don't like this plan anymore; I am just stressing over whether or not it's THE plan I want. (that semicolon was intentional! woohoo.) I still love editing and publishing, and the prospect of having that as a career still intrigues me a lot. I just am suddenly worrying that maybe I made the decision too fast. That probably doesn't sound quite right since the motto seems to be "Choose a career that you love" and I love editing; But what if I would love something else even more?
It is freaking me out that I'm unsure because it's so not me. But I suppose I should chill out a little because I hear it's all the rage to have these doubts when you go to college. Then again, what's so great about being like everyone else? In this case..... absolutely nothing is great about it ha ha; I would so much rather just be happy with the decisions I've made. I mean they are great decisions! There isn't even anything wrong with them. And I am already super well on my way (can you say that?) to becoming successful and whatnot in this specific career; I am already doing my SECOND internship with a publishing company and it is only my first semester of college. I already have more experience in the area than a lot of people have by the time they graduate. I find it so funny that I am going to start taking editing classes (for my editing minor...... obviously unless I change my minor :S) and I will already have had so much experience in that area. I am so cut out for this career and I am so doing a great job at preparing for it. So why am I having these doubts?
This post is rather random and probably semi confusing due to my ramblings (I hope I didn't lose you before this point). And I guess I just want to end it with one last thought....... Anyone have any grand ideas about a different career I should pursue? Anything you could totally see me doing that you have just never mentioned before? I am SO open for ideas! Ha ha
