No Idea What I'm Doing

If you read the title, you most likely already have an idea of what this blog post is going. I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. There's little to no direction in what I'm doing - and I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing yet.

Going into my freshmen year of college, I didn't research the school or it's programs - yet I still chose to attend UNCW. I did exactly what high school guidance counselors tell you not to do, which was to choose a school based off of where your friends were going. That and the fact that I had gone to a camp there the previous summer, were literally my only reasoning for wanting to go there. Unsurprisingly, about midway through my first semester I realized that I DID NOT like it there and I needed a change. On a whim I make the decision to transfer and that's how I ended up at App.

I fell back on my original love of art when choosing a major initially. I was going to become a graphic designer. That only lasted a year. Since I transferred I was on a shortened timeline and there wasn't enough time for me to complete the entire graphic design program in the art department. It was then I did some soul-searching and realized that even though I didn't have enough time to finish that program, I still wanted to be doing something creative. It was then that I ended up in the COM department in the advertising program.

Halfway through my first semester in my new program I found YET ANOTHER program that I was interested in - the GAIT grogram (graphic art & imaging technology). So if you're keeping count, I'm in three separate programs now. Which in result would add an entire semester on to my college career. Which ironically was what I was trying to avoid in the first place.

So in order to fix this (and prevent myself from being here for extra time), I decided to take four courses over the summer last year. This was not a good idea. It was extremely stressful and very very tiring. Which is exactly how I would describe my time on this campus. Over the last four years, I haven't put a lot of thought into my future - I've been going with the flow and I've yet to decide if it's a good thing yet.
