My life completely changed today and here is why! Upon graduation from high school I realized that it was time to decide what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So, of course, my first thought was what can I do that will open up the most opportunity. What I didn't realize was that the more important thing is that I do something I am good at and that I am excited about and that I enjoy doing. At the time, I convinced myself that the path of grad school and Biology was the way to go. After all, I love Biology and there are tons of directions I could go, so why shouldn't I pursue it? Sometime last semester I woke up and realized that I was unhappy with the direction my life was going. I was enjoying my classes but I wasn't excited about them. That is when I began to think to myself "Why am I so unhappy? What went wrong?". I prayed about it a lot and then a few days ago a small voice popped into my head saying "What about English?". I had always brushed my love for reading, writing and English to the side thinking it would take me no where in life. But then I began to feel so much happier just thinking of the change. I knew it was ridiculous but I was finally excited about something and I finally had positive motivation and clear goals.
So, in conclusion, I talked with Dr. Hearn (the English department chair) today about what it would look like for me to switch to an English major. As the title of this blog suggests, my world has been rocked. And everything I had made myself out to be has turned out to be a lie. I talked myself into a future and a major that wasn't what I was meant to do. I am more excited than ever about being an English major. There are buckets full of things I can do with an English major and a Biology and Bible minor. The possibilities seem endless to me and I have never been more excited. I know it seems strange that I am just now figuring things out, but that's what college is all about right?
So that's basically what happened today :)
Time for bed!
God bless!
