The past few months have been very hard for me, but the past few weeks have been especially hard. I have had a lot of things going on in my life, personal, work, and school related. All of them made me feel like I am pushed for time. Am I going to know what I want to do once I graduate? Will I get a job right out of college? Will it be something I like? Am I making the right choices for myself right now? I feel like I am so pressured to make all of these decisions right away and it makes everything twenty times more stressful than they already are.

During class, we talk about writers who did not start writing until their kids were grown and had their own kids, until after they retired, etc. It is not totally convincing to me, but it does ease my mind a bit. It makes me feel like I can still be a successful and productive person even if I am not sure how that is yet. This is probably one of the most important things that I have personally pulled out of this class. This life is my life. It is on my own time and there is no need to rush your own timeline.
