I, like most everyone at this age, am pretty terrified of the future. I think one thing that freaks me out the most is that the grades I get right now determine my place in the future. If you walk into my dorm, the BioSci house, and talk to most the kids on my floor, they will tell you how they will be in Med school in a few years. Thank God I am not going down that road because apparently I would not be accepted to any Med school for the one C that I have received. Yeah, a girl asked me if she’d still be able to make it into Med school if she got a C in Chem this quarter (she has a 4.0). Don’t get me wrong, I love the people on my floor, but they tend to freak out about things that shouldn’t bother them to that extent. If you think about it, which it probably would be better if I didn’t so much, there are so many questions like: (1) How am I going to afford Grad school? (2) Who will I end up marrying? (3) Will I end up marrying? (4) What kind of house will I be living in? (5) Where in the world will I be living? (6) What job will I end up with?
The list goes on and on. I know everything will work out, but it’s just the thought of how do I get to that place of stability?
The fear of the unknown is pretty universal, and there is hardly anything more unknown than the future.
ReplyDeleteDon't spend time worrying out the future, live for the moment! Stay true to your values and good things will happen to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my personal fortune cookie(:
ReplyDeleteI don't think you should worry about the future too much. It's nice to think about it, but if you can't control it, there is no need to worry about it. Things will work out and I am sure you will be very happy in future!
ReplyDeleteIts probably best to take one thing at a time, and focus on doing that one thing to the best of your ability. If you do this, I think over time, things will fall into place and be good in the end.
