A Year in Review
Junior year seems to have flown by, yet also seems to have taken a very long time...it's strange. A lot has happened over the course of this year, as I learned many new things in my various classes and finally decided (mostly) on what I want to do in college and after college. Though I've dedicated this blog to one of my hobbies, baking, I'm fairly certain that's not the career for me. I'm still rather indecisive about the career I would like to do, as becoming a dermatologist is a long, difficult path, and I have many other interests, such as journalism. However, these hobbies have been important because they've helped me prioritize what I want most in life. I've realized that no job will truly be the perfect job, and no life will ever be the perfect life, but I've prioritized what I want most out of life. Primarily, I want to be happy and have a stable, well paying job as well as close friends. However, I also want the freedom to pursue my other interests, such as traveling, foreign languages, cooking/baking, photography, ceramics, music, and reading. Though I realize that it's probably going to be impossible to engage in all of these activities and be in medical school, I've realized what's important to me, which will definitely help me plan. Over junior year, I've finalized the majors and schools I would like to apply to as well as the career I'm aiming for, and I've also discovered a lot about myself--how my thought process works, what's important to me, and my nature. I know that I have the potential within me to do basically anything I set out to do, and I intend to do just that.

Even though you still don't know what exactly what you want to do I still think it's good that you have so many options an that you're confident in your ability to do anything. Also, since you have so many hobbies I think that no matter what job to decide to take you'll have all your hobbies to keep you happy.
ReplyDeleteEven though we have learned a lot in school and had a huge work load throughout junior year, we have also learned a lot about ourselves and how our minds work differently for different subjects. Good luck in finalizing your major for college and I'm really glad that you have discovered the potential in yourself to achieve anything you set out to do, it is really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you have realized your potential! And it's also really nice that you know what you're interested in. Even if you don't major in one of these, you can always take extra classes or minor in these subjects ! o:
ReplyDeleteBecause this is probably the last post of the year, it is unfortunate to think that you may not blog anymore... Although you have chosen to follow a path into the medical field (which rightly suits you), I hope that you continue to bake... because all of the food that you have posted and written about this year was extremely appetizing and came out successfully. I have no doubt that whatever you chose to do in the future that you will be successful at it. You will however always have #chandraproblems and belong to #couzang.
