I guess one of the only things that makes me different from some college students: I adore my major. Everything about it. There are a few required classes that I would rather not take, but most of them I adore going to. The assignments are a joy to work on. My classmates are the greatest people I've ever met. I love the subject matter. What to do with what I'm learning however, frightens me sometimes.
I am one of those people who enjoys doing a wide variety of things. I love to read, I love to write, I enjoy algebra, I could sit down and work on coding a website for 24 hours straight and not tire of it, if someone asked me to look at a paper for them I would sit down and mark notes all over the page because I know the importance of helping others become better writers, I love to sing and play guitar and I'll even go on a run every so often. I'm not saying I'm wonderful and fantastic at everything I like to do, because I'm not, but I'm interested in a lot. My major does not discourage me from studying this wide variety, so when it comes down to it, I don't feel like I have a focused career path.
I have ideas about what I want to do, but I find myself questioning my abilities. I question whether or not I would actually enjoy it as a career or if I only enjoy the learning process. Sometimes, I want to go back to when I was a kid, back to being told what to do with my life. It seems ridiculous that I'm expected to make a decision about what to do with the rest of my life when I can't even start a paper until midnight the day it's due. But I guess I'm just an average college student.
