Self-questioning.

[draion]

I'm on a little bit of a posting spree, and this is around finals time. Not exactly a good mix, but whatever. And this is yet another entry I'm keeping public, which rarely happens anymore for the non-Writer's Block entries. When was the last time I even did one of those? I guess it's unimportant

Oh, I definitely am going through this. Mostly because I anticipate not surviving on just a BA in psychology. Hence why I'm teetering on Economics double major. But if I do, then I won't be able to graduate in four years. That's how it just is.

Do I wish I could go in some other major? Some other career? The more I entertained these thoughts...no. Nothing else really suits me. I've told you this before, but my parents wanted me to go into pharmacy. I refuse, partially because (let's be realistic here) science is not my forte, nor interest. And even if I was going just for the money, imagine what kind of life I would have to live. I'm not prepared to toil myself to the ground for the rest of my middle-aged life prescribing medicine. It does not suit me. It's just not me, period.

Of course, I never really say it out loud, nor in writing, because it's constantly thrumming in the background of my mind. I tend to think I do stress myself out. But I need to stop thinking and start doing.

WTF, I thought I replied to this! Sorry to leave you hanging, my dear Eddy.

Are you sure you want to go into Economics? Psychology and Economics are on some pretty contrasting sides of the spectrum, and I guess it's nice to have security, but you should also do something that you're really passionate about doing.

I'm glad that you were able to find your fitting field, though. You've told me about the pharmacy situation before, and I'm glad that you didn't succumb to your parents' wishes.

And don't worry, we can stress together and know how much we work, then grow from it. <3
