so last night, my dad had the "what are you going to do when you grow up" talk with me. im getting kind of sick of these.
so now i have to make a list of colleges i want to go to
and i have to find scholarships and i have to make a plan
and i dont want to.

its a scary feeling not knowing what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life..
and its just starting to sink in i think.

sweetums, it's only scary when you look at it from the scary point of view. Once you actually get there, it's okay, sometimes even wonderful because there are so many possibilities and as long as you keep your options open, you're not even wasting time or anything. And if you just look for what could be that one thing that's perfect for you, you won't end up doing the wrong thing. Just take it in steps, like right now, what you're doing with your adult life is looking for a college; the next step is testing out that college and exploring the different things they offer there that you're interested in. If you end up not liking that college, it's easy to transfer to a different one (people do it ALL the time), and then you have different options to explore. And figuring out what you want to do is easier than you would think. Just take what you're interested in, whether it seems to have job potential or not, and find something you want to do with that. Or several things. No one says you have to be just one thing when you grow up.
It doesn't have to be scary. It's really an exciting time in life to go from the security of having all your decisions made for you and finally getting to choose what you want and do what you love.
Seriously, that's my best advice and it's so simple. Just do what you love.
...I'll see you before you see this.

I'm in the exact same boat, darling. It blows. I'm just trying to figure out how to tell my dad I don't want to go into buisness.
