Changing of the Tide

College is a life changing affair.

I went in with one idea of what I wanted to do, and who I wanted to be. I was so set on this path that I didn’t even think about the fact that you could change your mind. I spent the first year of my college career just going through the motions of taking the classes that were required of me, as much as i loved everything I was learning, I slowly began to realize that there are a multitude of things I can do with my degree.

Writing is what I love to do, but I don’t know if it’s the only thing I want to do. I have three years of a journalism degree under my belt, I have so much respect for Journalists. They are the link between news and the rest of the world, which is a lot harder than we give them credit for.

With this thought in mind, I started to think about what I really wanted to do. My findings so far are… inconclusive. There are so many things I want to do, and I don’t know where to begin.

Here is what I know: Changing your mind is okay, it in no way means that you have failed at life. It simply means that you just need a little bit more time to figure it out. Change is terrifying but it can also be the best thing that can happen.

I have no idea what this life has in store for me, but I know as long as I keep an open mind; nothing will stand in my way. Positivity is key.
