5 years from now

Where is my life going? Where is your life going? A few months ago I knew what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be and I knew the answers to most of the important questions I kept asking myself. But I just don't know anymore. It seems the idea's I once had no longer are the right answer.
Not anymore, one day I want to be apart of something huge. Something bigger than myself, then the next day I want to see the world. I want to feel small and experience life as it unfolds, experience life one day at a time. But then my mind goes towards money. How will I ever make a living that way?
My mind is torn between what I want to do with my life. And what I want to accomplish in life. Where will I be in five years? Will I have graduated from college at that point? Will I have a job? Will I want to have a real job? All these things are flouting around in my head and I don't know what to do with them. Should I even worry about these thing? Is it even reasonable for me to be worries about these things? As for know I have no answers for these questions. I share them with you for advice. If you are in the same boat as me I feel for you. If you've experienced this... Well let me know how it ended up. Does it fade away? Did you find an answer? Did it work itself out?

Only time will tell where my future takes me.

I was thinking the same exact thing a couple of days ago. I was sure I wanted to be a doctor, get a PHD and then go off to med school but now I'm thinking what if I want to marry after I graduate and start a family, or what if I want to travel alone? Do i really want to be spending my life in a hospital room? The thought of saving others still comforts me, but who will be there to save my life? And as you stated the whole money situation plays a huge role in my future. Well if I don't become a doctor what will i be? There's nothing else I'm good at that can bring in the dough! Im sorry I don't have an answer for you, but it must be somewhat comforting to know someone else feels just as stuck as you do. What should our next move be? How do some freshman just walk around campus like they don't have a care in the world? Sometimes I wish I could just blow off class and sleep, but when it comes down to it, I could never let myself do that. Maybe we need to experience more, and see what's out there before freaking ourselves out. Life has a lot to offer.

Take your time. Study and perform as hard as you can in the meantime. When you discover your passion one day in class, you'll know, and if you do what you love, the money will be there. Maybe not as much as you thought, but enough to keep you happy. And isn't that what's really important?
