At some point, most college students experience an overwhelming (and pretty yucky) feeling of not know which direction to go with their life. You may question what to major in, what career to pursue, or whether or not to stay in school at all. While it’s a pretty uncomfortable place to be, getting lost is actually ESSENTIAL in order to figure out the right path for YOU.
Here’s 5 reasons why:
1.) It means you’re asking yourself the right questions – questions that are big and important, like ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What do I want my life to be?’
2.) It means you’re not afraid to change your mind and be open to new ideas or opportunities.
3.) It means you’re getting closer to figuring out who you really are – a strong career is rooted in strong self-awareness.
4.) It means you’re starting to understand how career decisions are actually made in the real world – it's a messy process, full of uncertainty.
5.) It means you’re not willing to settle for a cookie-cutter life or a life dictated by someone else – creating your own story is more challenging, but most-definitely worth it.
