Any Other College Students Who Have No Idea What They Want To Do In Life? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't even know why I'm in college! I have no freakin clue what I want to be.

I hear ya, honey

There are things I'm interested in, but I can't see myself making a career out of any of them.

It's definitely so tough.

I'm not in college, but I know the feeling. I'm also scared that I won't get into college cause I'm just not interested in school at all. I'm more into music and art but it's not something I want to make a career of. I know I'm still young and I'm still in high school, but I never know what to do with myself. Everyone wants me to be one thing, and other people want me to be another thing, so it's hard.

I think that's the worst part of it--not only do we have no idea what we want, but there are people that expect so much out of us. I am the same way with my writing as you are with music/art. I love it so much and it's truly my passion in life, but I'm not sure if I can make a living out of it.

I wish you luck, though

Aw, I wish you luck too honey. And it's the people that want me to be someone I'm not that make me nervous to share my music or art with them, cause it's like my stuff is never good enough. And if they don't understand my art, it makes me think who else will?

I was sooooo conflicted my sophomore year with my major. I was really considering changing it (from Architecture to Linguistics), but in the end, I stuck with Architecture and am soooo glad I did. I only needed that extra year to finally found why I'm majoring in it in the first place and I did. So even though I still wanted to be a Linguist, I'm happy I stuck with Architecture because I can still have a stable career (work in an Architecture firm) and travel and learn languages on the side without doing all that unneccessary side things like writing terms papers and theses.

Hi, I am new here. I started college later than most. Had a baby at 18 so had to put off college. Plus at the time I had no idea what i wanted to do with my life. Now, I am happy to say that i am a senior in college and getting ready to graduate with a degree in Social Work. Just take your time and it will come to you....
