There is a lot of pressure to know what you want to do and who you want to be in college. Any student can probably attest that they’ve been asked, “What do you want to do?” many times. The truth is that coming into college, the majority of people — even those who have everything planned out — change what they want to do in the future. Coming out of high school with limited knowledge and experience of the different topics and programs, students often take more time and in-depth classes to explore their interests.
As college students, there is pressure to base your future on the career of your choice. While it may sound cliche, a more fulfilling way to navigate the next phase of life is by establishing and maintaining strong relationships.
