I've realized lately that once in awhile, you have to be okay with feeling a little lost.
This came to mind when I had a bit of an epiphany a few days ago. I realized that the internship I've been doing all summer has taught me one very important thing: This is not what I want to do with my life.
Needless to say, that thought terrified me. My mind immediately went into a whirlwind of questions like "Is this really what I'm meant to do? Am I in the right field? What am I going to do with my life?" Questions that no 21-year-old wants to ever consider.
But I think it's a good thing. It's better to realize this now than to get stuck in a job later on that will never fulfill me. At first I was scared, thinking "Well, is it back to square one now?" But it's not. I know I'm in the right field. Now, I need to figure out how to utilize my passions into a career for myself.
At the end of the day, you shouldn't be afraid to question what you're doing and what you want to do. Just know that one day, you will discover what makes your heart sing.
This next (and last) year of school is going to be a game-changer for me, I believe.
