DUH

As a college student, I'm under an insane amount of pressure to pick a career to strive for. Why? I don't know. But it's also super difficult when you're best friend from high school has been accepted into medical school for years and your older cousins are so successful.

I've always felt like the black sheep, and being the middle cousin blows sometimes.

I was in a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing program for a year and a half when I realized it just wasn't what I want to do for the rest of my life, unlike two of my older cousins who are Registered Nurses. Then I switched majors trying to figure it out, in turn thinking myself into a bad mood daily.

Talking with my beloved Professor Harmon, about another career option, I was just telling her about life and my yoga classes and such. She asked me if I had ever considered a career in wellness.

No. I never had. Ever. 

Maybe because health and wellness is such a habit of mine now, and it's not really a major at my university. But man would I have a hell of a lot of fun with it. I researched careers in the field and liked pretty much everything I saw. And I thought to myself "oh, I should get an internship or something."

Oh, wait. Nevermind. Duh. I have a freakin blog about it for cryin out loud.

My best friend asked me what it had to do with my major, I said not much, but I don't care. So, now I'm just gonna finish up my degree, graduate in 2017, and basically continue what I've been habitually doing, with other people, and getting paid for it.

Not sure how my family is going to react to this, they all imagined me, doing, I don't even know what. But, it's not their life, it's mine. I'll still have a Bachelor's degree, what should it matter, I got educated like they wanted me to.

I'll have to open that can of worms over a few beers, maybe shots.

But for now, it's off to work, the non-fitness job :p

Peace out,
Dylan
