Even if your dream is way out of reach, should you still go for it?

I don’t know if this applies to anyone else but this sure as hell applies to me.

Have you ever wondered “What should I do with my life?” “Do I really need to be doing this?” “Am I meant for something greater than this?”

Suffice to say that I have these thoughts pretty much every second, of every day [and that is NOT just because I find my lectures SUPER boring] of my life.

I personally believe that 95% of university students don’t have a clue as to WHY they’re taking the courses or degree that they’re doing and only 5% actually HAVE a reason to be at University. What’s my reason you may ask? My reason is that it was logical.[Also because the program I want to do after University requires you to have a degree xD]

Ever since I was younger I was taught by everyone I knew that after you went to High School, you go to University. After University you can do whatever you like. That’s it. Nothing else. When I was younger, there was no such thing as taking a gap year, going to a polytechnic or… Whatever else there is. No. It was straight “Go to University”

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people taking gap years or going to polytechnics its just the way that I was brought up [Love you Mom and Dad ♥] but I’m just saying, do you also feel like you’re wasting your time at University? I probably can’t really talk considering I haven’t even been at University for a whole semester but the world is a HUGE place! How can one honestly and truly say that they’ve already decided what they want to do in your life when you haven’t really LIVED your life? How can you decide something as life changing as what you’re going to do with the rest of your life when you’re still in high school? Where they’re “advising” you to take subjects that would be helpful in to you in your future degree in University. Its ridiculous! You’re only what? 15? 16? Years old and you have to make a MONUMENTAL decision like that? How can you be so sure that you will be happy doing the same thing for an X number of years?

I guess its this whole uncertainty thing that makes growing up so scary. I long for the days where the only thing I cared about was running away from the person that was it.
I’m tired of this repetitive, mundane life because for some reason, I just KNOW that I’m meant for something bigger than this. What it is yet? I don’t know. So what am I supposed to do? Use the government’s money with their student loans to fund my tertiary education where it’s uncertain that I will actually USE any of the skills that I get from the courses? From what I’ve heard, once you’ve passed the course it doesn’t really matter anymore so what does that mean? Just learning things where it’s a 50/50 chance that you will actually use it again? Its insane!

But that’s life I guess. Obviously I’ll stick out this University life and see what’ll happen. Besides, if things go perfectly according to “plan”, I should be out of University in four years. Lets see what’ll happen. Honestly, I hope I can fulfill my actual dream.

Curious now? Sorry guys! They say that if you tell someone about your dreams it won’t come true ;)

YOU! GET AWAY FROM MY TUMBLR!

Kthxbi.
