I never had to choose my subject-Sydney Taylor

Fears: not having the courage to make my life what I want it to be, spiders
Annoyances: melodramatics, being inconsiderate of other people 
Accomplishments: being awesome¿
Confusions: why I have to decide what college and career I want right now when it still takes me twenty minutes to decide what to order at McDonalds 
Sorrows: not joining speech and debate earlier than I did
Dreams: travel, cool job
Risks: joining the speech and debate team 

I guess I will write about how perplexed I am that everyone expects high schoolers to decide what they want to do with their lives when they haven't really lived yet or experienced anything, except school. I think a lot of people feel the same way but sometimes I still feel like the people around me have it together more than I do. I don't want to wake up at forty and realize I chose a job I can't stand and end up bitter and regretful because I didn't make the right choices about my future when I was a teenager. There's so many different things I'm interested and I just don't feel ready to commit to just one yet and be unhappy with one I chose or wish I could go back and choose differently. It's stressful thinking about having to choose a major in just a few years because I'm indecisive, as I already stated it takes me twenty minutes just to order food at a restaurant sometimes.
