You want to hear about qualms? I'll tell you about qualms, specifically my qualms. I have a qualm about my future.
That's right, but luckily it's a qualm in the best possible way. You see, I'm not one of those people who have no options in life and can barely get by. I am blessed enough to be pursuing my college education, and because of that, so many doors have opened for me. The qualm that I have with this, is which door to choose.
One thing you should know about me is that I'm a joiner. I join clubs, social groups, and volunteer projects. So far, in my freshman year of college, I have joined one organization, and I'll likely not be able to stick with it forever, because of a major first world problem that's been on my mind. Now that I'm in college, at a major university, I have the opportunity to study abroad. Where? I can double major. In what? I can have a minor-- don't even get me started.
I just feel like all of these options make life after and even during college extremely overwhelming. You can't help but feel like there is only one right path for you, and it's so easy to make the wrong decision. What if you screw up? What if you choose a path that was not right for you in the end?
Answer: there is always a right path for us as individuals, and any path we take has the potential to be the right path. I just need to work on that. Starting first thing tomorrow.
