And then life gets complicated…

First, as a side note! New backdrop! The pic up top is a picture I took in Seattle, Washington in a traditional Japanese Tea Garden! I am HUGE into asian culture, to the point that I have my Chinese Zodiac sign tattooed on me. End side note…

So today, aside from a quiz and a test, I went to see the Pre-Med advisor at UMBC today to talk about my life. Since I have been at UMBC I have been Pre-Med, but last year I actually thought about my career choice and thought if it was really what I wanted. I then decided that I had NO CLUE what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, so I decided I need some help! I talked to her about options I had, and it sounds like I might be going on to get my Master’s Degree in Biochemistry before going on to make a decision.

I just hate the feeling like right now I need to make the choice of what I want to do for literally the rest of my life. It seemed before that decisions were not that important: what middle school to go to, what high school, what college. They all lead to whatever goal I had in mind. Even choosing a major seemed easy because I could change it at any point. I’m told that when I go through and choose a career path, I can always change the path if I decide it isn’t for me, but it seems so difficult and hindering to backtrack that much in life to choose another path I might not like either. I guess I likely felt the same way when having to choose a college, so I will just have to handle this the same way: one step at a time.

  1. jason, what a gorgeous picture! i had no idea you were such a good photographer (although i DID know how much you love asian cultures, haha).

    seriously though, i’m sure that whatever you choose will seem momentous and then after you’ve gone through it, it’ll seem like nothing (just like picking a major). i mean, look at me, i changed my major three times and i’m still graduating on time … just a thought :-P
