a thought

It's really easy for me to get caught up in my anxiety right now. It seems like all my friends are accepting huge internships, getting killer job offers in exciting places, and spending semesters abroad. Sometimes I feel like my college degree is worthless and I made the wrong choice three years ago; to study what I love instead of what will get me a job.

I have to keep reminding myself that I am on a separate path into less familiar territory, but that doesn't mean I'm going nowhere. If I were in their shoes, pursuing jobs where I'd have to wear dress suits and shower everyday, I would feel very dissatisfied and contained. My goals and passions are different from my business, engineering, or medically-minded friends, and that takes me down a road less traveled.

I will be fine. I will be fine. I will be fine.

And so will you!
