The past week, I’ve decided on the path that I will hopefully follow the rest of my life. I’ve found what I want to pursue after highschool. My current path is Pharmacy. But I don’t really want to talk too much about my college choices and my upcoming school year. I want to talk about the decisions.

For the past three years I’ve been looking at colleges, and I’ve been getting about 2 pieces of college mail a day. It becomes quite confusing after a while, and most of the colleges I look at tend to get two minutes of my time, which, to be honest, isn’t quite fair considering I could have found a wonderful school but instead I threw away the advertisement. It’s quite confusing for me, but at the same time, I know that things are going to stay the same.

For the past three years I’ve been torn between Pharmacy and Chemical Engineering. In some respects, the jobs are similar in many different ways. In other respects, they are completely different. On one day, I wanted to be a n Engineer. On other days, I wanted to be a Pharmacist. I couldn’t make up my mind, and it was driving me crazy.

But then, the other day, I discovered that Pharmacy was the job for me. It wasn’t a flash of incite, but rather a long thought out soul-searching process. And Pharmacy seems to make perfect sense, but yet it still doesn’t make sense. Life is difficult like that, eh?

What I don’t understand is why sometimes it takes years for a person to make a decision, and some people take a few seconds, and the end result is the same. Life is odd.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I didn’t ask myself these questions. The answer is not one I like to hear. So I keep on asking, and in my heart, I’ll find the answer.

Peace,

Beebes

i think we just we have to hope that who-(or-what)-ever is in charge of this whole 'life' mess has at least some idea what they're doing ... and to realise that the pen doesn't need to understand the words to serve the writer.

want my college mail? i've got a big box of it that ways a good 25 pounds. probably a few hundred colleges in there.

don't worry about trying to get into a 'good' college. go to a state school that you can get a nice scholarship at. no one cares where you go for undergrad, it's graduate school that matters. as long as you've got a degree, employers really don't care (from what i've heard).
