So, I've decided that this will be my last semester of college. I finished my Gen Eds. and now I have to decide on a major. However, I am not ready. I have no idea what to do as a "career." My family has always thought I was going to be this or going to be that. Anything I slightly enjoyed was smothered. For example, I used to play the clarinet. I used to enjoy it. Then, my mother got the idea that I was going to be a famous clarinetist. Playing the instrument became more of a chore. Heck, even my love for writing waned when my father pushed me to publish a novel at the age of 13 (so I could beat that 'Eragon kid.')
Anyway, I made the decision of leaving college. My tuition money is running low and I can't afford another semester without taking out a loan. Since I am torn on what to do for a major, I decided to that it's best for me to leave now and come back at a later date. I know that it's 'harder' to go back, but I'll end up wasting my time and money trying to figure out what to do.
Of course, my family is disappointed with me. I haven't even dropped out yet and my mom's already treating it like a failure. My friends look at me like I have lost my mind. Luckily, my significant other is on my side.
I guess I just need to vent. It's my first real decision as an adult, so I guess I'm just scared. I am not a child anymore. Everything I do today shapes what I will be tomorrow. I spent a lot of time about leaving college. I weighed the cons and pros. Right now, at this point of my life, it makes more sense to leave college. Live life a little.
I apologize for the long post. I needed to get this out of my system. Thank you in advance.
