Song of the day: Spotlight - MuteMath
Getting ready to graduate is tough. I’m heading into my second term of the second semester of grade 11 and we’re looking at what we want to take in grade 12 in order to graduate. We are pretty much picking the rest of our lives right now and it’s quite a stressful experience. If we don’t take sciences and math’s because we plan on taking a BA in the arts and then we change our mind then we’re in trouble because we don’t have what we need. It’s now or never to choose what we want to do and honestly, I have no clue. There are so many options and it’s so hard to figure out which one is for me. Do I want to be a writer? A scientist? A doctor? A musician? How can I make sure that what I pick is really what I want to do? I know that I, personally, am worried sick that I’ll make the wrong decision and end up in some dead end job that I will never be content in. I don't know about the rest of you. Life and planning is kind of like a chess game, you spend time planning your every move and you could be knocked down, or you could conqure. You put hours of thought into each large move and hope that life doesn't play something right. There is a website out there called careercrusing.com and it helped narrow down to things that I would be interested in but still, it’s hard to choose which one is for me. With today’s economical problems, who’s to say that in 5 years, when I’m getting ready to head out into the work force, that the job I’ve been studying to have will even exist any more. What happens if I CAN’T find a job? I’ll be stuck with student loans I won’t be able to pay off and a degree that I can’t use. There are so many things to take into consideration. I can’t even drive alone yet and I’m being expected to plan the rest of my life in the next week. My parents still consider me “young” and now I have to try and make important life decisions. There really isn’t any way around it. Maybe take a year off to figure out what I want to do, but really there aren’t many options other than hope I get it right. What's your move?
