Questions

I will be graduating in less than a year now, and I have no idea what will happen after that.  While it's kind of exciting to have so many possibilities before me, not knowing where I will be or what I will possibly be doing, it's also quite frightening.  There's such a pressure to have a plan, to just know, to have your life figured out and at twenty-two, it's quite the pressure.  I'm scared to grow up, to do this all alone.  


Even though I am just on the cusp of graduating, or should be, I am doubting my choice of major.  What can I possibly do with an Art History degree without pursuing a Master's?  Museums will not even look at applications if no higher education is noted.  Is this really what I want to do?  Lately, I've been rethinking an English major... maybe I will pursue this after I graduate from Washburn with my B.A. in Art History.  I think teaching English at a high school level might be something I would like to do...  Who knows??

I don't have it all figured out, or even a little bit-- the only thing I am sure of is that my Lord will be leading me wherever I go or whatever situation I am in.  It doesn't really matter what kind of job I have or that I even have a career... that's really not what I want most at all.  I don't consider myself a person with lofty career aspirations... I would just like to be able to move out of my parent's house after graduating and be able to support myself!  

The future is so uncertain... but it's too much to figure out in one night.  I'm going to bed.
