Day 26: Unda Presha

      The last month of summer is among us... usually in high school I would be cringe at the school supplies advertisement knowing that soon enough I would have to Spark Note my summer reading list and actually go back to doing school work. This summer I thought would be different. Although this summer was a much needed break, I was so sad to leave and honestly couldn't wait until I got to go back. Now the summer is coming to a close, I'm having that awful anxiety creep up on me. For reasons I think I can understand: 1. I will have to return to the school that still reigns supreme in partying and figure a way to stay sober without raising questions of my conversion to mormonism 2. I will have to start learning how to cook healthy and tasty meals on my own and (the most terrifying of them all) 3. I have to figure out what the hell I am going to do with my life.

This is what I am feeling. 

I can only be 'undecided' for so much longer and my parents have put major pressure on me to pick a major ASAP. I have considered Education, but for some reason I don't think that teaching, although is an amazing career, would give me the outlet to do everything that I am capable of or aspire to do. I have considered PR, or Marketing but I have no experience or any idea what working in a business would be like or if I would even like it. I have been all through the Penn State website and I just keep wishing I had more time to figure things out. I wish I could take writing classes or business classes to see what I'd like - but that's what your freshman year is for and I spent my time exploring Education. I think I'd  maybe even really like trying Film - but I think my parents would seriously want to kill me. But I think in all seriousness I want and need to be doing something creative and working with people.

I love photography, drawing, music, and fashion... I don't like economics, chemistry, spanish, or statistics. Someone out there, if you know a job that sounds like that - I'd love to know!
