I've talked to s...Hey, thanks for the comment!<br /><br />I've talked to so many of my older relatives who all told me they didn't even find the career of their dreams until the second half of their life. Most people go through 3 or 4 career changes. My philosophy is that you have your whole life to find the career that suits you but you only have a short time to be young, so you might as well take advantage of your youthful energy and mobility while you can. As you get older, other things take precedence (career, husband/wife, children). You might not always have the desire or ability to travel. You never know what joys or sorrows life will bring so I try to ask myself: How much would I regret not doing what I love now (travel, study Art History) if something happened to prevent me from doing it in the future?<br /><br />I felt the same way as you in high school, I feel it now in college, and I am sure I will feel it throughout the future stages of my life. All I know is that I have not had a single regret about any of my choices because they were choices I made based on things that made me happy.<br /><br />Good luck with everything, and I hope I get to read about your studies and adventures someday!Haewonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166158144461553823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192228237450902563.post-25236712395601252762014-06-17T09:56:28.239-07:002014-06-17T09:56:28.239-07:00Hey!

It feels great to have you back, I had been checking my feed daily to see if you had posted anything lately, so you can imagine my big smile now. <br /><br />In other words, I completely understand this post. I just recently graduated high school, and I got a scholarship to travel and study an IB in India, which is like going to high school all over again. While my parents have been pretty supportive, no one else has and it makes me sad and frustrated. I try to give it as less importance as I can, but it still hurts to see the people you love doubt your choices. <br /><br />Also, I plan to major in Art History, so all I get from friends and family every day are comments on how I will be poor and unsuccessful. I don't care about being poor. I want to see the world, and meet new people and try new things and learn languages. I want to feel happy and free and satisfied with the kind of things I'm choosing. So yeah, even though I'm younger, I kind of understand how you feel. <br /><br />Anyway, you go girl. :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02835080871988739094noreply@blogger.com
