Freaking out about life!

89% Normal
4 Comments

So for the past couple of weeks, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I was always in a bad mood, didn't want to talk to anyone, and I'm usually a pretty upbeat person. I just realized that I'm freaking out about my future. I just finished my junior year in high school and started the college search process. Although I know its normal to start in the fall, I am so nervous that by doing that it will be too late to be accepted by the time I choose. I keep putting myself in a bad mood because I can't stop thinking about if I end up at the wrong college then what, or what if after 4 years of college I still have no idea what I want to do in life? Being a senior now just hit me...and hard. I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out! Help! Is it normal to be worried about this stuff? I'm really worried my life wont end up well and I'll be working at mcdonalds because I was too worried about picking the wrong carrier choice. Is that normal! I need advice!

    I recently graduated with a degree and I honestly still don't know what I want to do. The only thing you can do is just keep moving forward, and you won't know what's right for you until you try it.. so don't be so worried about aiming one direction and making sure it's right, because chances are it's not gonna go the way you planned either way

    heres a little quote that may help:)
    "Live for today and not tomorrow
    Live for the Now and whats here
    Stop living for what maybe or what may never come
    Live for the day already here."
    Basically dont worry about your future. I was the same way, but your still young to think about what you want. Just try and think about what you enjoy doing,and whats reasonable. Talk to a counselor or do some browsing online. Just take it one day at a time.

    don't go to college.You end up with a bunch of debt and no job.do an apprenticeship or learn a skill or trade.Learn a second language and become an interpreter.Or find out what the hospitals or nh need in your area.Or find out what you need to do to be in management at a fast food place.Some of those jobs pay ok.

    Getting into college is the easy part, so you might wanna learn some way to cope with stress cause life just gets harder from there...

    And don't forget to enjoy the rest of high school cause you're gonna miss it when you go!
