I'm graduating a college few months from today, which alarmingly is not my biggest concern. Maybe it's the time has come when I would not really bother to think what I want to do because slowly I've quite figured that out, and it all seems a little clear to me now. Arriving to what I wanna be or who I want to turn out to become cost me a lot of time, effort, trying out things and a college degree.
Yes, a college degree! I won't say I ever regret taking psychology, because studying it made me learn so much about humanity. It made me learn about how people grow, sleep, feel, talk, think, learn, behave, respond, and so on. All my life from here on, I will be surrounded by humans. This degree would definitely come in handy, all day, everyday. It helps whoever that studies it to become more self-aware. We have also been trained to become good research paper writers and statistical result interpreters (or even excellent at that). But most of all, what I like best about it is that it will help me become a nurturing mother to my future children. No matter how I try to convince myself that I landed in the wrong course, I would not land at a proper justification. I'm glad to have met Erikson and to have bumped into Cattell, spent sleepless nights with Freud and learned conditioning the hard way through Pavlov.
I'm thinking of going back to school after a short while. Meanwhile, I shall go and try to pursue something I wanted all along. Sometimes it feels like there's something out there I'm meant to do, which feels a lot natural, to which I'm hardwired. I think the creative process intrigues me too much for me to let it pass.
So, game on!
