Anonymous asked: I went into college directly after high school. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do for a living, but my parents wanted me to go to college ASAP. The program I chose was incredibly interesting. I made a lot of friends and experienced good things. Unfortunately, the career wasn't for me and its embarrassing when people ask "why aren't you working at a _____ then?" I can’t help but feel that, besides the good times & people, that I wasted my time and money.

So many people are in this position, including me. I’m not working in the psych field because none of it is appealing to me but this. I love this. Blogging is not what I went to college for, sadly. Who gives a shit what they think? People ask me all the time and it hurts a little, but it isn’t their business. College is a learning experience, even if you don’t get a career in your major (75% of college grads don’t go onto a career in their major). You can get into most grad schools regardless of what your major was as long as you have a bachelors, even if you have to take a few extra courses. You’re young. It’s your life. You just learned that sometimes life doesn’t follow the plan you made. That’s important. Embrace it. Now you’ll do what you really love, and that’s freeing.
