BEDA Blog #2 - College

I've been dreaming about college since I started high school. Some might say I've had senioritis since I was a sophomore. High school hasn't been this terrible experience that I've block out of my memory, that was middle school. The problem with high school for me was that I always felt like I was more advanced than the people around me. When I say advanced I don't mean academically, I mean in my personality. I've always felt that I view things in a more rational way than most high schoolers because I tend to see the big picture of things rather than the immediate consequences. I've always hoped that when I got to college I'd find people who saw things more like me. Now that college is approaching I've been hoping this more and more. The issue is, I think I'm putting college on this pedestal and it will not live up to my expectations. If that is the case, I'm in for a terrible 7-10 years seeing as how I plan on getting my PhD. The other thing that worries me is the fact that I've known my major since I was 14. It has always seemed like a perfect fit for me but maybe things will change. Maybe I will end up being a weird hippie nomad with no money and a bachelors in something useless. Honestly, I don't see that happening but there is always that fear. I guess I just worry about things too much. I can't see the future, no matter how hard I try and I have to go with what life throws at me and deal with it as it comes. Que sera sera.
