Where is my life going?

I have never been one of those people who has always known what they want to be. Of course there was a time when I was a young child that I dreamt about being an astronaut and a chef but no dreams have ever really stuck. I've always wanted to be able to say with complete confidence that I know what I want to do with my life. Unfortunately, listening to Dr. Danna Walker did not assuage my fears of never finding out what to do with my life. What if no one has ever told me I am good at anything. The biggest compliment I can remember getting from a teacher is that my shirt looked nice on me. Does that mean I should be a professional shirt wearer? Despite all the negativity in my current outlook on where my future is headed I can say that I am at least a little better off than the girl on Maury whose only goals in life where to " Drop out of high school, be on girls gone wild and mah baby".

But seriously, it is stressful to not know where my life is going. It is slightly comforting to know that like Dr. Walker did, I too can reinvent myself at any point in my life. Nothing is permanent, so even if I do wind up walking the streets for a few years, I could become a heart surgeon or something later on. I guess it is good that I am college now. It is time for me to start jumping into new things and finding out what I really want to do. As hard as it is going to be, I am going to have to start showing up to things. College is about exploring new things and becoming a new person. Maybe in four year I will actually have some idea of what I want to do with my life.
