I have successfully procrastinated this dreaded process for the past 4 months.
At the beginning of my senior year I had it all figured out: I knew what I wanted to be and where I wanted to go. However, and I don't exactly remember when or why, I had a complete change of heart. This lead me into a complete worry. I had never doubted that I wanted to be a journalist until then; I was always the one who never really had to contemplate the cliche "what do I want to be when I grow up?".
Where, was also an issue that has arisen frequently. I live on an island, go to a private all-girls school (which I have been to for my whole school career!) and I am LDS. To say I live in a bubble would be an understatement. I am ready for a change and an adventure, but it is going to take the next 7 or so months for me to gain the courage and confidence to do so!
Despite the stress these questions had brought, the experience was quite liberating. I realized that there are countless opportunities and paths that I can take in life. And after a number of visits to my guidance counselor and talks with family members, I am back to having that same feeling from the beginning! A feeling of excitement, wonder and assurance!
But now I have to face the REAL challenging part... the applications!
