<p>I find myself becoming less worried about getting into college and more worried about what I’ll DO in college. I already have a major picked out journalism, and I plan to become an editor. However, I have all these nagging thoughts/fantasies/dreams of becoming a doctor or pharmacist and making my parents proud and having financial stability. I’m also worried about finding a job as an editor after college, especially since there’s a shortage of jobs now. A part of me just wants to squash these thoughts and focus on my decided major, but another part is thinking that it won’t be so hard if I put my mind to it. Truthfully, I just want all these thoughts to go AWAY b/c they’re stressing me out and I don’t want to lose my hair, but with my Type A personality: shy, introverted, PERFECTIONIST I doubt I’ll have a shortage of stress anytime soon. By the way for anyone who’s interested, I think blood type personalities are really accurate as mine described me perfectly; in my opinion they’re way better than zodiac signs and all that.
Anyways, I challenge everyone who’s feeling any anxiety, as I am, to do something that has absolutely nothing to do with college, careers, or anything to do with your futures. I promise that it won’t hurt your chances of getting into college or your futures whatsoever. I recommend watching an episode of reality tv, VH1 would be especially helpful b/c I’m certain that anyone who uses CC, regardless of what college or career path you take, won’t ever wind up like the dried up, plastic, ex porn star/ stripper whose brightest outlook is having a certain “rock star” as their sugar daddy on a fixed allowance, or staying on the show long enough to get her own reality show. Really this is the only instance I can think of where I might think someone has failed at life, so think of it like this: If you don’t wind up like this you’re a success okay? Continuing with my list : read something that’s not going to challenge your brain and require any analysis like manga or fanfiction, or just relax and fantasize about being a mermaid warrior princess and saving the prince from evil mutant sea manatees, (Just to clarify I do NOT fantasize about that, I just made it up off the top of my head, not to say that someone can’t fantasize about that, I just don’t recommend telling anyone if you do.), or you can spend your time thinking of pointless activities to do like me! Just try to take a break, although I know that sadly it’s just not in some to do so.
WARNING: Make sure that you come back to face reality after engaging in said activities, it’ll be tough but you’ll have that feeling you get after a nice vacation or a relaxing back massage. :)</p>
