What am I suppose to do with the rest of my life?

Arrrrgggghhhh

Ahem, okay I am a college student and I know I am not alone when I ask “What am I suppose to do with the rest of my life?” I am an education major and I love kids, but I am always asking myself “what if I am a lousy teacher?” I tend to see myself failing more than I see myself succeeding in all aspects. Nevertheless this is so much more serious, this isn’t just sucking at cheerleading or not getting the main role in a show, this is the rest of my life. Scary huh?

Well I think so and really if you don’t worry about the rest of your life then you must be crazy or not aware. I remember how quickly high school went by it was like a blink. It felt like just yesterday that I was a freshman, but now here I am in college. My point is the future is coming and it scares me, not because I am afraid to grow up but because I am scared I won’t make a difference, that I won’t be fulfilled in life.

What if our dreams never come true or what if our dreams aren’t what we thought they would be. Did we just waste our time? I hope the answer is always no, because if we are only studying to get to a high paying job then we are missing the point. School is about learning and gaining the knowledge to look at the world as an individual. Forget that, Life is about learning and gaining knowledge to look at the world as an individual. Stop looking for the light at the end of the tunnel because no matter how high your GPA is life can throw you a curve ball and you just might not get what you want. So suck up all the knowledge you can get and enjoy what is happening now.

“What am I suppose to do with the rest of my life?” is so tightly tied with “what am I doing right now?” Just taking it moment by moment, looking at yourself, and altering the plan day by day. Listen to yourself because you are the only one who knows what you want. Follow no one but yourself and accept the person you are failures and all because at the end of the road you’ll know you listened to who you were suppose to.

How do you start a blog?


Wow... I really don't know where to start with this. I have always loved writing, but now that I am about to post something on the internet where everyone one can it I am really nervous. So my first ever daily question is "How do you start a blog?" I mean, seriously how do you put all your personal thoughts and feeling out there for everyone to see? I am such a quiet person how can I do this? I suppose the best thing to do is just put yourself out there and even if nobody sees things your way atleast you put a new perspective out into the world.

I guess that is why I am going with this daily question theme, because I want to add new perspective into the world. I want to show that there should not be a day that goes without questioning someone or something.

So today I am going to question the wonders of blogging. I would guess that many people who take part in this art would have more direction then I do right now. Honestly I feel like I am only rambling about nothing. Maybe it just takes time to get used to this medium.
