As my sophomore year of college rapidly approaches, I continue to get more and more excited about what is to come. New friends, new experiences, and new interests. I remember when I started my freshman year of college, and I couldn't wait to get out on my own. I was 100% sure I knew what I wanted out of life: to be a doctor, living in the northwest, have a family, etc. However, a few days into the school year I remember looking at my flute professor and saying, "I want to be a music major." What I wanted to do with it, I had no clue. All I knew was that it was what I loved, and the only reason I wasn't doing it was because I was afraid. Now, I am no longer afraid. I am a music performance and psychology double major, hoping to become a music therapist. But even these days, I find myself wondering if that is really what I want to do with my life. I know I love what I am studying, I'm just not 100% sure what I want to do with it anymore. I think this is a good thing, though. When I was younger, I always felt I had to map out my life, know what I wanted to do. It feels good to finally not feel totally sure about what I want to do anymore, and it has allowed me to really explore my options.
With all that I have experienced and learned this past year, I now look forward to learning even more and having more eye-opening experiences. This will be a big year for me, as I enter into major psychology classes and do my upper bid for music. Overall, I just can't wait for another year studying the two subjects I love the most. I feel incredibly lucky to have that opportunity.
