I have been thinking lately about my life after college, about what lies ahead for me, about the path that I am going to take, about the things that I would want and love to do, about the things that I should do. I am a little pressured now. Because most of the people I know and most of the people around me have a definite plan ahead of them. They know what they will do after college. Some are going to pursue higher education (masters, medical school, and law school), while some are going straight to work.
They know what they will do, while I am stuck in the decision-making phase (which sucks big time). The future is a little blurred for me. It always has been like that, because I am confused most of the time. I am confused because I am torn between my familial duty (you know how it is in the Philippines) and duty to myself and blah blah blah. I am confused, but I have come to a decision to make a decision as soon as possible. I mean, I cannot deter the future. I simply cannot stop it from happening. So I should start acting now. As in now.
What to do now? Well, there are three things.
1. NMAT and LAE (They go together for me). Of these two mental workouts, I should start studying for the first one, and I should start reading newspapers for the latter.
2. Graduate School. Scholarship. Whatever.
3. Go corporate. This is not what I actually want, but this is the surest way through which I could fulfill my familial duty.
BLURRED FUTURE SPEAKING, HELLO.
Do whatever you think will contribute to the betterment of your character. :) Do whatever will make you happy. Your worries will be gone because everything else will follow :)
ReplyDeleteI will get to that. One of these days, I will. For now, I guess I have to endure with the "decision-making phase" haha :D Thank you.
