Decidophobia

I suffer from this disease.

It's called indecisivitis

So.. I can't make decisions about anything. From what I'm going to eat for breakfast to what I want to do with my life, there really are far too many choices to choose the right one. So because I can't choose one thing, what ends up happening? I end up choosing everything. Which is a terrible thing when I'm at a breakfast place and I end up ordering a stack of pancakes (two blueberry, one banana, one chocolate chip because THEY ALL SOUND SO TASTY), a giant omelet and a bagel because I can't make up my mind. Because... then I can't finish it and I feel like a bad person. True story.



I'm this way in all facets of life. Choosing a major? Holy moly. My head almost exploded. I've chosen a good one, I think. Finally. But OH MY GOD what am I going to do with it? I have no idea! Because in my lifetime, I want to do SO many things. Write a book, write a movie, play in a world cup, act in a movie, design my own shoe line, change the world in some way or another... yeah. A lot of things. I'm like a little kid I think. I want everything.

Here's the thing. I can't be the only one who doesn't know what I want to do post-college or for the rest of my college life, or-- let's be real here--even what I want to do tomorrow. So why not try everything I want to do? It'll be like a fun game. I'm going to go out in the world and try to find something by doing literally everything. Well, not literally. And I know there are some people out there who hate the overuse of the word "literally" but hey, that's the name of the blog. And you're missing the point.

Point is, college kids like you n' me don't really know what we want because we're not really supposed to. So I'm going to take a couple shots in the dark here. I have some goals. Some vague ideas of what I want to do. Thus begins my quest to become a soccerplayerdesignerartistwriteractressperson. Or something.


Even still... I'm just one person. My brain, I think is split into a bunch of people constantly fighting with one another... but still, yes I am just one person. Literally. See, it fits there. So, because I am just una persona, if you have something legit that you're doing POST IT POST IT POST IT. Yes, it will further agitate my decidophobia but still, I want to hear it. Because chances are, your story is awesome. 

So, here it goes. The journey of the undecided college student.

Yup.

Les go.
