Is it just me?

[gotjack?]

Is it just me or does this happen to everyone? I am graduating this year and you would think I would know what I wanted to do when I graduate. Well I don't. It annoys me so much because one minute I know what I want to do next I am not so sure.It really really annoys me. For example I thought I wanted to be a massage therapist at one of the Disney Resorts now I don't know. Has this ever happened to anyone?

I went through the EXACT same thing. At first, I wanted to be a teacher. Then a marine biologist. Then a zoologist. Then a pharmacist. Then a zoologist again. Finally I decided on an elementary school teacher.

It's hard to decide. I had sooo much stress last year (I just graduated. I'll be starting college in a week and a half).

If you ever need to talk, PM me. I know exactly what you went through. It's really tough! lol. Good luck! And enjoy your senior year! Despite all the stress, it's a great year.

I went thru this a lot too during my last year of high school. I kept thinking I wanted to do psychology and focus on eating disorders/kids/etc. I was really confused about the whole situation, and very upset. Finally, during the summer in between, while at a baseball game (my second home!) I realized, that wasn't what I wanted to do. If I truly loved it, it wouldn't be causing me so much stress and anxiety. I switched my major the next day to sports management, and have never once looked back. Even sometimes when school gets me down, when I sit in the stands at a game it reminds me that it's all going to be worth it. I also wanted to work with Disney, and figure I can combine both of my loves someplace such as the Wide World of Sports!

I think, from experience, when you find what you really love, you'll know. I know it's hard, but maybe try not to force it? I wasn't even thinking of it when it clicked in my head that this is what I want to do. After all that stress, it just happened! As the other poster said, if you ever need a chat feel free to PM me, I'm always up for listening!

I am going through the EXACT same thing. I thought I knew what I wanted to do, but once I started thinking about and actually started setting myself up for it I freaked and decided I didn't want to do that. I have gone through this like 3 times. First lawyer, then pharmasist, then pediatrician and now I don't know.
Its so stressful at times to have to decide your life.

Let's just say, I leave for my Sophomore year in college in two weeks and I'm still not sure I am doing what I want to.
