It's perfectly normal for a junior in high school, like myself, and not have your career path TOTALLY laid out for yourself, right? You're ALLOWED to not know exactly what field you want to study, so it's PERFECTLY okay to kind of take courses in things that EXCITE you and are new and interesting. RIGHT? I'm thinking of doing a precollege program this summer. I'm on the school paper and I dabbled in journalism this summer, with an internship at a newspaper and everything. Blah, blah, blah. Journalism is not for me at ALL. You hardly have any creative license. I don't want to waste away in life spitting out news to people. Nothing about it is attractive to me.
Well my parents are pushing me (FORCING me) to take courses in journalism this summer at the precollege program, rather than me taking courses that REALLY interest me. They're like, "You can do one course for fun but one that makes sense." At the meeting with the college advisors, my parents kept talking to them about trying to carve a sort of journalism path out of my application.
I DON'T LIKE JOURNALISM! WTF!
My parents just don't get it. Whenever I say I don't really want to get into it, that it just doesn't excite me at all, they yell at me for not trying hard enough to like it and being closeminded.
HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP.
I DO NOT WANT TO STUDY JOURNALISM. I want to do what I want with my life, oh my God! I am not going to be one of those people who studies shit that makes them miserable just for money/prestige. PLEASE help me here.
