So it has been a long time, like usual, since my last post. So what is new in my life? Well my biggest issue right now is figuring out what to do with my future. I just finished turning in my application to get into the Social Work program. All is good right? No. I have never been sure if I wanted to be a Social Worker. Now I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. I am going to look into Wildlife Conservation Biology. I am going to try and volunteer and job shadow this summer to figure out if this is something I want to do. I'm kinda freaking out about this. I just want to know exactly what I'm supposed to do with my life. Now I have no idea. I always planned on finishing college in 4 years. It looks like this plan needs to be adjusted.
So that is the biggest change that I'm dealing with. There has been one big positive change. I have started going to a guys small group. We are reading this amazing book titled "Wild at Heart". Its a really good book about finding what it means to be a man. Its actually very applicable and true. Additionally, I'm going to church with Mo. Its been really good for me. It kinda makes me sad to think that, if I transfer schools, I won't have these new things. Only time will tell.
So that is an update on my life. Peace out y'all.
Do you read comments?
ReplyDeletea few things freed me from "knowing exactly what I'm supposed to do with my life".
1) God wants us to care for our neighbor, etc. Curing cancer or a similar world-changing career is awesome but we're here to love.
2) No career is the 100% answer to our happiness. First I haven't found someone yet who likes their job 1000 times over. There is always something. I hate filing. I also hate mounds of paper surrounding me. But my hate for filing overwhelms that. Second we have hopes and dreams beyond what a job provides. Your future spouse, hobbies, learning new stuff...all that figures into it too. it isn't just about a job.
3) Based on statistics the days of having one career for the entire approximate 45 years of working are over. haven't seen it for a while but there were stats out on how many times someone changes their major, how many times someone changes careers.
4) Having a plan is awesome and great but don't forget that life happens without a plan, too.
Of course I read comments. I just don't always respond back! I understand what you are talking about. Thanx.
