College: FMCC Edition Part VI

Mood: Dangerously Depressed
Weather: Snowy. . .fml
Well I got the worst news I could possibly get the osther day. . .I wasn't accepted into the nursing program at FMCC.  I had really been planning on being accepted, everyone around me was like "how couldn't you get accepted."  Well. . .I wasn't.  I don't know why I wasn't, they didn't say on the rejection letter.  I have good grades, but I think it was because they can only admit a certain number of students and its more than likely first come first serve.  But I don't know that for sure.  So my world came crashing down because of a piece of paper.  All of my plans and goals were based off of my acceptance, that was step one. . .everything went out the window.  I could no longer see more than 2 inches in front of me, I had no idea what I was going to do.  I broke down.  People kept telling me "its not the end of the world, its going to be okay."  No one really understands. . .that was the end of my world.  My future, my plans, my everything disappeared in a split second and I was supposed to be okay.  It was the end of the world, that world is gone.  Almost all the schools in the area only accept people into the program in the fall, so no matter where I went I would be waiting another year just to see if I'm accepted or not. . .I don't want to waste that much time only to be rejected again.  Not to mention its almost impossible for me to go to another school.  I commute to FMCC because my mom works like up the road so she just brings me to and from school everyday, I don't have a vehicle right now to drive myself somewhere.  Not to mention, I can't handle living on a college campus again.  I hate living with thousands of kids my age in a small building where you can't get away.  Not happening again.  Not to mention I've already transferred once, I'd rather not do it again, not after only one semester anyways.  So pretty much my only option is to find something else to do, and start building up my future again from scratch.  So yes, it was the end of the world, I have to start a new one to be destroyed.  I'm so depressed and miserable about this.  I already feel so shitty about going to FMCC.  I mean, I am happier there, I like the people better, and I'm doing well. . .but I can't shake the feeling that I'm going to a community college. . .I never wanted to be in a community college, I wanted to go to an Ivy league school, a private school, or at the very least a state school. . .but I'm at a community college with a 28% graduation rate and a day care, where most students didn't even graduate high school but got their GED.  It just kinda makes me feel bad about myself.  I don't think poorly about the people that go there, I had just always seen better for myself.  Its not a bad thing to go there. . .it just was for me.  Now I feel even worse because I'm at said community college and I can't even get into a program there. . .I just feel so shitty.  I still don't know what I'm going to do.  I'm a mess.  I feel like I'm drowning and I can't get my head above water.  I'm struggling, and trying to stay afloat, and I'm screaming but no one will come to help me.  What do you do?  If I keep fighting eventually I'm going to become too exausted and the water is just going to take me under. . .and if I don't fight, the water is still going to take me.  Either way I lose.  I just want to give up.  I don't see much for my future anymore, like I said. . .I can only see about 2 inches in front of myself and I don't like being in the dark.  Idk. . .

My Major

So. . .because I'm an extremely indecisive person that will just never be satisfied, I'm thinking about changing my major.  As my readers already know, I'm not really a fan of this whole college thing. . .so going to college until I'm 30 to get my doctorate in psychology doesn't really make a lot of sense.  So I've been sitting here pondering about the things I want out of life. . .and I've come to this conclusion:  I want to help people.  I don't want to be a doctor.  I don't want to be in school for the rest of my life.  I think I'm going to change my major to nursing!  Yes. . .my back up plans still hold.  If the option of dropping out of college to get married and have kids arises, damn straight I'm taking it.  In the meantime, I think I'm going to switch my major.  Thoughts?  Comments?  Suggestions?  Curse words of encouragement?

My Major

Well in the past few weeks I've been thinking constantly and stressing myself out terribly about my major for college.  I've known since I was in the 7th grade that I wanted to be a psychologist.  I want to help people, thats all I want to do and all I've ever wanted to do.  I want to impact someones life, and teach someone something of importance.  I want to be there for people like me, because I think I have a lot to offer and a lot to teach about life and challenges we are faced with.  Recently however, I've been thinking that being a psychologist isn't the way to go to do all of this because I mainly want to help people my age right now and adolescence don't like the thought of going to a shrink.  They think that you have to be nuts if you go to see a psychologist and they aren't as likely to open up to someone that they don't really know.  So instead of being a psychologist I've been thinking about being a teacher because I could form a better relationship with my students so that they feel comfortable coming to me with their problems and I can still go about helping, teaching, and impacting their lives in the way that I want.  I feel very close to a lot of my teachers and I know that I can go to a lot of them with any problems that I have and I am very comfortable with that, and I know my friends feel the same way.  In the beginning of the school year, my current english teacher that is filling in for my real english teacher gave us an assignment about her philosophy on teaching and it had an impact on me and I really liked it, and so far this year she has taught and had such an attitude that makes me want to be a teacher like her.  This truely stresses me out however because I hate not being sure about what I want to do, I'm a very driven individual and I just feel awful not knowing what I really want to do.  I DO NOT want to get to college without having a clear idea of what I want to major in and I'm scared to death of changing my major, I'm not sure why its such a big deal to me, but I really just don't want to do it.  I want to go in knowing exactly what I want and what I want to do and succeed in it and love it.  I don't want to change my mind 5 times and not know what I want to do.  So this is the dilema I'm faced with right now and I've been talking to a lot of my teachers about it, so we'll see. . .I'll keep you updated.
