As the end of my undergraduate academic career draws near, I find myself unexpectedly doubting whether or not I can excel in communication. I am ever conflicted over the idea of obtaining my M.A. in Communication, or launching a new direction and attending Marymount University in the fall for my accelerated B.S. in Nursing. Throughout the years I have become well-versed at public speaking and now consider possible careers as a News Anchor, Communications Specialist, or Media Relations Manager. Without a doubt, I am unmistakably in pursuit of a career that demands commitment, enthusiasm, passion, time-management, and a higher education. Whether or not it is communication or nursing, I have yet to decide. It is extremely early to call this ambiguity a quarter life crisis and I presume that graduation is my only remedy for this reoccurring lack of uncertainty!
EIGHT RANDOM THINGS I’VE REALIZED LATELY:
Low Maintenance is my mantra; Craigstlist and eBay are unofficially my new best friends. If I have to pay full price for an item, I no longer desire it as much.
My sister and I are polar-opposites, so how can we plan a summer trip for our families when we can’t even agree on a definition of fun?
I would rather sleep opposed to eat, and I consider it a luxury when I can do both.
I love more and more each day when decisions are made for me. (At fifteen, I was less accepting of a predetermined curfew, now at twenty-two, I consider it a blessing when someone says, “here’s what you should do next.”
Becoming a wife and homeowner is less scary than taking my Communication Theory final exam.
I am not my own. Class work, social obligations, and loved ones continue to consume me.
Each day, my mind circles like a dryer in spin cycle when I think of all the assignments to be completed and the amount of time left to get it all done. Man, what a convoluted semester!
I understand my parents so much more now that we are apart.
