silliness Posted at 7:01 pm on July 9, 2009
I'm an incoming freshman at the University of Florida and I'm about to register for classes next year. I feel like me not knowing exactly what I want to be is going to make me go behind.

You see, it's been drilled in my head to be a doctor. And all these years, I feel like that's what I needed to be. All of a sudden, I'm reading these requirements and how competitive and expensive medical school is. It means I need to take classes that I would HATE taking, and work ten billion times harder than anyone else, because I come from a below average school and I'm not amazingly smart. And I'm so shy that I don't know if I will be ready to be this competitive person who can do interviews to get into med school.

And so I was considering nursing. Somehow I feel like I won't feel as successful and satisfied when I become a nurse, because I wanted to be a doctor for so long.

I'm just afraid maybe? I dunno if I want to go to med school if I'm not willing to work hard enough. I don't know what to do!

Don't do it if it's not going to make you happy.
