I wish there was a step-by-step-towards-a-happy-successful-life-brochure for everyone. Or at least I wish there was one for me. Call me greedy but I want to be happy and successful at the same time. I know not everyone can do that. I know many people who just go day by day living the same routine and doing tasks that they are hardly interested in. On the other hand, I do know a very few people can’t wait to go to their job the next day because they love doing it, and I want to be one of them. These days I have come to a realization that I am not planning my future very well. If I want to have both happiness and success in my life, shouldn’t I be more vigilant, more active, and more searching? Is my current major right for me? Am I doing the smart thing? My major was Japanese Studies when I entered college, but I saw more career opportunities in Economics so I changed my major and made Japanese a minor. And now, I am considering (actually almost positive I’m going to change it) International Studies with Economics as a primary track and Japanese as a secondary. Economics after all was a bit too much for me, and I was never going to let my Japanese go either. Plus I’ve wanted to do something international that involves traveling, so, after talking to people and researching about it, I have set my mind. To be frank, I have been worrying too much about getting a good job, better said—a high paying job, and that was majorly why I chose Economics. And recently I have looked more into International Studies and saw myself doing something with it. I guess there does exist somewhat heavy pressure on my shoulders that comes from being the first child in my family and furthermore my whole entire mom-side family. I don’t blame my family though.. I wanted to be successful and live a quality life myself anyways. (Hence the recent struggle on how to achieve that, and hence this post.)
Speaking of school, I know I have to do a project for CAT Practicum and I don’t have an idea for it yet. I am excited though, because it provides countless opportunities to get involved in areas other than my major. I want to do something creative; I want to do something related to art and music but we will see about that; and I want to enjoy doing it, whatever it will be. I definitely will have to look more into this also.
Aiyaaaaaaa, too much to think about: I’m getting closer to tasting the real world aka life after graduation, going abroad, setting my class schedules, next quarter, CAT, and blah, and blaah, and blaaaaah. My brain is hurting a bit so I’m going to take a break by nibbling on food. After all, despite plans and majors may change, my amour for food will never do. :-) xoxo
