Studying is tiring. Will anybody disagree? The day is over but you have assignments to complete, math problems you have to solve, and history of God knows where (and you don't care much about) that you have to recall and memorize. Uuuugh! Finally spring break comes! Yehey!You get to hang out with your best buds anywhere your money will take you. Drinking here, there, and everywhere. Spring break ends and another school year comes. That's pretty much it when you're schooling. But when you graduate (especially in college)reality flashes on you like a floodlight. You have to look for a job and then wait and then think about the odds and chances that you may be accepted in the position you opt for. It is like being lost in the jungle called life! There are no routines to follow. You are not guaranteed that you have something that you could end up in unlike when you were schooling. At least when you are studying you are confident that when you have finished all your requirements you move on to the next level or grade. What I'm trying to say with this is that change can be frightening. It is frightening because we want to grow up and it is only through change that we can achieve this. However we don't want things to change because it takes us out of the comfort that we are in. =)

Yep, change can move you in many different directions. If you think you are busy now, wait until you have a full time job, kids to take care, and household chores to tend to. Enjoy your time in school while you can amijor. Real life will get here soon enough. Without change, we cannot grow. Without growth, we do not develop. Without growth and development, we wither on the vine. Don't be afraid of change, embrace it and welcome it. You'll be fine.

Personally I think no matter how hard you try you can NEVER predict your future and overall, your future always lies in your hands as well. You may say you one day want to be a School Teacher, A Doctor, A Destist, etc. but unless you are willing to take the time and the knowledge to learn what it takes to get there you might be wasting your time as well. Also a little reading into your Career you want to choose, and talking with others, while also Praying about it and asking God for some direction never seems to hurt anyone as well.

Hi! Of course I can never predict my future however I can make "blue prints" of plans which would serve as my guide in decision making when it comes to my career. I am a registered nurse (thanks to the goodness of God).Thanks for the advise!=)
