So, I've been doing my fair share of thinking recently regarding my future career and if Economics is necessarily the right path for me. I like Economics...I really do! But at times (especially during the peak of midterms and finals), I seem to get too stressed out. Maybe all college students have to cope with the same type of stress during their university years at point or another, but I'm wondering if this stress is really worth it. I feel like I'm attending classes and college in general just so that I have the so-called "back up" plan...you know, just in case? You see, my dream career is to open up a huge restaurant of my own...one that serves foods from a few different countries and is divided into various sections. I even have this interior/exterior envisioned in my head. haha :) As you can see, I've been wanting that dream career for a long time. I've always wanted a career that involved food and culinary arts ever since I started becoming a frequent viewer of the Food Network. :) Talk about inspiration much? haha :D
Anyways, so my dilemma has been whether or not I should continue with Economics. A major in Economics definitely opens up more doors for my future but at the same time I don't want to end up sitting in an office looking at numbers all day long. I like field work (hands-on activities) much more than sitting down and staring at the computer for hours at end...meaning, that I don't necessarily want to become a CPA. But, my friend's dad has been encouraging me to look into CPA work...hmmmm~
I've also dreamt about becoming an interior designer. But I've heard that students involved in that career have to go through rigorous amounts of work and I don't know if I'm ready for that. Maybe I'm not just not school material! :( It's just more stressful since I was a pretty decent (no conceitedness here) student in high school - I maintained a relatively decent GPA and I was involved in a lot of extracurricular activities. Maybe the stress comes from that fact that I've become more of an average student here. :(
Career-involved stress. Miss my best friend. Want 3 years to pass by quickly. Can't wait for Christmas! Maybe I'm scared of growing up?
Sigh!
Anyways, I'll stop the rant for now! Too much ranting! haha :) I think all this stress calls for a trip...I MISS KOREA...can't wait for summer of 2012!! :( To relieve all this stress, I need to go to the beach or take a train trip somewhere (hopefully Hearst Castle!) or go to the mountains! I'm a nature type of person :D Or go do some karaoke? Anyways, thanks for listening to my post readers :)
PS. Does anyone know any good places to volunteer on Christmas day? I feel like I should start getting involved in my community. Oh yea, I'm also going to start reading novels now! So any book recommendations would be great! :)
Lastly...pictures to reminiscence! :D
