FUTURE FUTURE FUTURE
For the past few months I have rattled my brain trying to come up with a solid answer to what I want to become and what job I want to have. Everything seems to interest me and it seems like I will never be able to come up with an answer to that question. There seems to be too many choices and it has been stressful working towards high marks when I don't know what program I will be heading into.
However, this changed when I had a conversation with my mom. She reminded me that I am lucky to be able to have so much choice and freedom. I am lucky to have the ability to pursue what I want to pursue in life as not everyone has the same opportunity. She made me feel a MILLION times better and has made me embrace and feel more comfortable in this uncertainty.
After I dropped chemistry after a bad and stressful experience, it made me realize the future is not straight forward and one course and one teacher will not determine it. I am focusing on decreasing my stress levels and focusing more on the things that I enjoy. The course and my parents have allowed me to look at the future as a new pathway oppose to a brick wall I must somehow get through.
Some ways I have been decreasing my stress levels:
1. Doodling
3. Reading
I just finished the 3rd Percy Jackson book as an easy read before bed. Tara and I have had a life long debate about whether the Harry Potter series or the Percy Jackson series are better. She's convinced it's the Percy Jackson books but I know for a fact it's the Harry Potter ones!
