College. One word that is terribly intimidating to me.
I have been in college for over 5 years now. I went to the University of Minnesota for 4 years, and came out without a degree. I spent most of my time in the cities figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do in my life. I got out of high school and went up to college with so much confidence... Knowing I wanted to be a Physical Therapist.
Boy, was I naive. I ended up hating the courses I was taking and not giving much thought to my classes. I didn't get horrible grades, but I didn't get the A's I was used to easily getting in high school.
So, four years at a wonderful school and no degree from it. Most people look at that and say it's a waste. It very well could be. I've decided to take it with a grain of salt and say I found myself there and had a great experience doing so.
Here I am now, back to square one. Re-taking a couple classes and applying to a major that I very well know I want a career in. It's funny how it can take something that drastic, spending thousands of dollars on school, for someone to REALLY find themselves and figure out what they want to do in life. No more looking back for this girl. I'm ready for the future. :)
