When you become a college student, it's inevitable that ever person you run in to is going to ask you what your major is. Well, I know what my major is, but I don't think I want that major anymore. I'm going to be a Junior after this Spring Quarter, so I don't feel like changing majors, but I don't want to go into the Master's Program and get my teaching license. So, I'm just going to graduate with a BS (Bachelor's of Science) and go from there. I'd really like to work in a daycare, and I can see myself doing that...I know that daycare workers don't make a lot of money, but that's not really important to me. Sure, I don't want to be poor, but as long as I have a job, I won't have to worry about that. Some people may think that I'm silly, or that I'm not going to be living up to my full potential, but I just can't imagine having a job that I hate and keeping it just because it pays well...I would be so miserable! So, for everyone out there who hates their job but sticks with it, good luck and I wouldn't want to be you!
So, when people ask me what I'm going to college for, I tell them what my major is, and then I tell them that it's probably not what I want anymore, but I don't really know what I'll do. I just want to be out of college...out of school, and I want time to relax! I don't mind college so much when we're on breaks, but that's mostly because I don't have classes and homework and reading to worry about. I'm so sick of school, and I'm so ready to be done with it! The movie "Van Wilder" was on the other day, and as I was watching it, I was wondering how any person could stand to be in school for 7 years...I mean, he was popular and everyone liked him and he supposedly went to class and did pretty well, but I just don't understand how he could handle that. I understand that it's in the script, and that it's not true...but there are people who have to be in school that long (like the medical majors) and I just can't fathom how horrible it would be to have college for that many years, if I've only had about 2 years, and I'm ready to get out! Of course, I was ready to leave shortly after arriving...not that my college is a bad one or anything, but I just don't enjoy school, and college is a completely different world from high school...everything is more relaxed, and it's easy to get behind when you don't have your teachers following you around and reminding you that assignments are due and trying to keep you on track. Not that I want teachers following me around, but it would be nice to have someone help keep me on track...but I guess I'll have to learn to do that myself.
