you're right, exercise and m...Thanks, Tracy :)<br /><br />you're right, exercise and meditation were exactly what I needed. <br /><br />I hadn't heard about colleges dropping their liberal arts majors - that's huge! All I see are people going through the motions to attain a well-paying job and I've known for quite a while that it's not for me. People are shocked when I say I'd rather opt out of grad school and career-hunting and just work at Whole Foods.<br /><br />I love, love my major (magazine journalism with a specialization in Spanish and linguistics)because the journalism program here is well put together and the professors are knowledgeable and make classes relevant. I'm studying what I'm passionate about and my parents are supportive of my passions (when it comes to school, anyway). <br /><br />I hope you're able to continue to discover what it is that you're passionate about! One day maybe you and Andrew will open your own vegan restaurant in Columbus - I'll do your PR/communications work! hahaMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18412630200977360985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1960227733112483984.post-85808963669117113532010-01-04T16:07:42.922-05:002010-01-04T16:07:42.922-05:00You should try yoga. It's relaxing and it'...You should try yoga. It's relaxing and it's nice to take some time out to just ease yourself from the day to day. I think you'd benefit from it.<br /><br />Anyway, I understand the unease. That's why I had to leave Berkeley. Well, one of the reasons. College is confusing and stressful. Especially now. I read an article in the NY times today about how a lot of schools are getting rid of some of their liberal arts majors because people just aren't majoring in them. Instead, people are gravitating towards sciences, math, accounting, etc. There's got to be a lot of unhappy people now just majoring in things they think will equate to a high paying career. But that's what comes with capitalism I guess. Money-driven people. Either way, I hope you're majoring in something you love and trying to enrich yourself rather than hamster wheeling to the top. It took a 2 year break from college for me to realize that I should just do what I enjoy and not necessarily major in what I think is a repsectable major. We get pushed into college so fast and told that it's so important -- then we don't really get much time to grow as people. And we don't get much time to deal with all the change and growing up that has to happen so fast. It's a weird time, and I still feel lost, but I believe we all come out better for it in the end. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108396827900329149noreply@blogger.com
