The Product of a Busy MInd Let Free
Home for a holiday break, I (finally) found myself capable of thinking, thinking of things other than “what issues do I have to deal with at work today” or “I need to buy groceries but the burrito joint down the street is too enticing.”
This thinking unearthed a deep, unfortunately hidden wishful agenda for my life. My college experience being nothing short of lost and confused, I obtained a business degree with no immediate goals or aspirations following it. I didn’t see myself creating my dream life with this degree, nor did I see myself being happy. Happiness is the main issue on hand; I have yet to achieve it, which is fine. I am 22 years old, fresh out of college, and I’m still in that “you’re young, you still have your whole life to figure it out” phase.
But hell…..time is ticking and I need to start making some damn changes! This isn’t the life for me, crunching numbers, running excel spreadsheets until my eyes well up in tears. A glimpse of what my life should be composed of was discovered in my second year at UCI. I signed up for an “Intro to Earth Sciences” class by the sweet, brilliant Professor Julie Ferguson. This class was meant to fulfill one of my General Ed requirements, and I didn’t think much of it.
As the course progressed, I found myself intrigued in ways I had never felt, and in ways I never felt again throughout the remainder of my college career. The course was enlivening and INSPIRING. This is the subject I need to pursue, my mind incessantly chanted to me that quarter.
Long story short, and obviously, I did not do anything about it. I’m an idiot. Like a drone, I took the classes I needed to take and graduated within four years with an economics degree. And here I am, 6 months deep into my first job (which I started the day after I graduated, literally) and I am even more lost than ever.
This is meant as a slap in the face – I need to see this post as a liberating notion of my caffeinated brain and trembling fingers trying to get me to do something about it. Get a different job in the right(ish) field (something that I can get with an economics degree), gain experience, take a couple ESS classes, and get into graduate school.
With that path, I will be on my way. Writing this gets me so excited. It needs to happen.
