My best college semester

I don't know when my best college semester was because I was not completed with college, but  college did have it's good times and not so good times.  College has been a bumpy ride and there has been a lot of change, and this semester, I am going to keep track of what exactly each day in college with my journal, so I can have a very good record of what is going on.

I have changed a lot and it seems like I have been on a bumpy ride.  At first, I thought it was going to be great; better than high school but the novelty had worn off and the problems have begin.  It seems like I have not went through the idenity crisis as strong in college than I was in high school.  In high school, things seemed to be pretty stable and I was just floating along, not taking too hard of consideration of what I am going to do in the future.  In high school I wanted to be  teacher, but I realized that I didn't know what exactly I am going to teach.

Are right, here it goes again, the college story all rehashed but I should look at in a different life.  Maybe if I connect the events together, I have experience to form some sort of idenity to know what I should truly go into. It looks like God is trying to lead me in a certain direction.

I started college by going into the computers. Blah Blah Blah.  You know the story.  Then I decided to change my major.  Blah Blah Blah.  I was unknown and I don't know what direction I was going into.  Blah Blah Blah.  The first semester I just took the bare bones basics and I was focused on fitting in. I was treating it a lot like high school, but the more I took the bare bones basics, I was starting to get educated and starting to get informed about the world.  The psychology and sociology classes gave me an idea of where I stand and where I should be, and it seems like I was  starting to have a better idea of who I was morally. Then the next semester I was still unknown and I was still taking basics, but I was starting to realize that I like psychology so I took more psychology.  I wanted to be a teacher so I didn't know what to teach, so I tried world history.  After taking world history, I came out with a D+ in world history and dropped out of public speaking so it means no teaching.

With teaching out of my league, I was still in a crisis and I needed some help.  I was thinking about going into the medical which everyone is going into the medical or business, because I have a feeling that we  need business and I am interested in stores and trends, marketing, etc.  I was planning on going into St. Scholastica so it helped narrow it down.

So it looks like it is boiling down to the medical field or the business type field.  So I took human bio and basically got a D in it, which means the medical field is not my bag.  So it boils down to the careers in the more business end.  Management requires math and I am not as good with math and logic, so it looks like the Organization Behavior degree is the best bet for me.  That degree pretty much, by process of elimination, figures out what I should be going into and it seems like I was taking an interest in psychology, so the degree that is closet to psychology could be the one for me.

I don't know why psychology interests me unless that's how my brain works.  I am using psychology when I am writing this - many concepts of psychology are in this blog such as Erickson's idenity crisis theory. It looks  like I am interested in what makes people tick and how I can help people tick right.  There might be something that got me wired for psychology.  It probably came from the experience I went through, especially through high school and stuff.  Maybe I am more interested than the other people of what people think about and stuff.  You never know but psychology does make pretty good money.
