{MAJOR problems}

 

You know, I never considered that having so many things I love to be a problem. I love painting, I love fashion, I LOVE dresses, I love food, I love humans, I love boys, I love dogs, I love the outdoors, you get the point. If I water down my "loves" into one general category I would most likely fall into the artsy world. So that conclusion should make choosing a major much easier. NOT! So far in the two years that I have spent at college I have changed my major 4 times.
First week of school I was determined to be an interior designer; put my creativity to work by making magnificent rooms, fabulous enough to knock your socks off when you walked in. After a class exploring that major I wasn't really feeling it, mostly because the teacher told us it was a dying profession and that pinterest was the murder.
I then moved my way into nursing because hey, nursing is a great steady job, pays well, you save lives, and my whole family is medical. I was psyched about that for approximately a week and then something inside of me died when I put on some scrubs. Also, I sometimes gag when I watch shows about surgery.
Next on the list was becoming a graphic designer because I figured there's always jobs with graphic designing, I have a tendency to be creative and make things look good, I'm a semi good painter, how hard can it be doing it on the computer? I took a couple classes during the summer for it and came to an abrupt halt when I got so frustrated trying to create spongebob on the computer that I started to cry.
Starting this last semester off fresh I decided that journalism was going to be my passion because I love to write, I love magazines, I would literally die if I got to interview celebrities, and it still involves creativity. Now I'm at my semesters end and I'm stuck thinking that I'm going to be working at some local newspaper writing about how Chippy the dog lost his leg to a rabid squirrel. No- if I were to stick to journalism I would want to be writing for glamour telling everyone about how fantastic fashion week in Milan was. The only problem with that lifestyle is that it doesn't fit with the one where I have a husband who treats me like a queen and buys me flowers and rubs my feet and we have adorable children who think I'm the coolest mom in the world (because that's just destiny).
Now, moving into my junior year I'm exploring the option of becoming a business major because all I've ever wanted was to own my own bridal store, design dresses, and sell gowns that make girls so happy they cry.

I think that I'm struggling with making a solid decision because I'm afraid that I'm going to get stuck in a job that I don't love. I want to be passionate about my job and not just another person in the business, but someone who is really amazing at it! So the struggle of choosing a major that doesn't give me problems carries on. I just wish I could look into the future and see what I end up doing so that I can quit drowning and start swimming towards my dream job that'll not only make me happy but is also compatible with my dream family. Wish me luck!
