I have no idea what I should do with my life. I know I’m interested in certain things or topics and those are the classes I take but I’ll be a junior in college this fall and I still haven’t figured out what I for sure want to do. It is so stressful. And I’m scared my four years of college will be up and I still don’t know what I want to do… How am I supposed to go out into the “real world?” Just trying to think about these kinds of things I get freaked out and so anxious and it just makes me feel like I won’t be able to handle anything. Everyone around me thinks I’m overreacting for being like this so it’s hard to talk to anyone about this.

What is your major? Some college majors give you quite a bit of flexibility. After graduation, there is nothing wrong with changing direction. Many people switch their career preference… often several times over the decades they spend working. I know that it seems stressful… but it really doesn’t have to be.
I don’t think your over reacting at all.
I know how scary it is to have your time running out and be left to start all over again. I never went to college but I spent 7 years teaching martial arts, it was my love in life. Then when I couldn’t do it or teach it anymore (reasons reasons) I felt like I had wasted my whole life and didn’t know what to do or where to go. I know what I didn’t want to do in life……needless to say…I ended up where I didn’t want to be in life, and it’s been 12 years since. It’s hard by as long as you don’t just give up you will end up somewhere. And you will learn to get along in life like everyone in your position.
Even if you end up not finding your dream career, I hope you can realize that life doesn’t just end there.
