I know this may seem trivial, but I have a problem with making decisions. So, if I write about it, maybe I can think it through better.
Here's the dilemma: I am currently a blonde, which is my natural hair color. But after looking back on pictures, I really miss my dark hair. It was just more, me. It was more innocent. So do I dye it back to dark or leave it like it is for now?
Decisions. Decisions.
As of this very moment, I am going to dye it dark in July. That will likely change several times until July rolls around, so we'll all be surprised how it turns out.
Speaking of decisions, I am still trying to decide what to do with the rest of my life. This is unlike my personality in every dimension. By now, I should have the grad school I want to attend on speed dial, a list of places I want to work at, and an idea of where I want to live. But I don't have any of that. At all. It scares me.
No matter what I try to convince myself, I always go back to wanting to work with people suffering from eating disorders. It's just something I know I can make an impact in. Plus, it will never go away, unfortunately. I just have to find out how I can make my mark.
Maybe food marketing? I can focus on how to change advertisements about food so that people don't associate certain foods as "good" or "bad."
Or there's always a master's in clinical or counseling psychology. That would be wonderful. I could one day work in a rehab center for those suffering from the disorder.
There are so many options, I just don't know what/how to choose. The toughest part is what exam(s) I should study for. Should I sit for my GRE, hoping I want to go into counseling or clinical assessment? Should I study for the GMAT for business school? Should I study for and take both, in case I change my mind? Ugh, so many choices.
This is why I wish I could just have someone pull the correct option out of a hat, and I'll just follow the directions. I shouldn't complain, because I love that life is so unpredictable. If someone told me five years ago that I'd be living in Iowa going to the college of my dreams, I would think they are crazy. But God placed me here and I have never been happier. :)
