When Winging it Becomes a Problem
I am terrible at preparing for anything. Most of the time it’s because I have no idea how to prepare or what to expect. Because of this I’ve developed a habit of just winging it. With practically anything. Job interviews, trips, test, school projects where I had to present… that was a big one. My anxiety was so bad during school it would only make since for me to try to prepare, but me not even wanting to present left me waiting until I had no choice and with nothing fully prepared. Somehow in my mind just winging it was better than being prepared. It’s like I was trying to skip anxiety yet adding to it.

Doing things for the homeless
There were so many times when I passed by a homeless person holding up a sign that read some type of story about their life to some that were just simple yet still heartbreaking. It really makes me wonder how people can be the way that they are. Whether they are the homeless man on the street or the person walking by them trying to avoid eye contact. Then there are others who tend to give big. When we see that we might think “oh thank goodness that person is helping them. and they gave them a lot of whatever is was that was given”. However, I believe these moments are few and far between. This make me wonder, is there anything we can do when we don’t have anything? My family grew up not having much. My dad worked all the time to provide for us and we didn’t rely on any assistance. But that’s it. We just made enough to get by.

Life goals and fulfilment
How do we find fulfillment in our lives? How is it so easy for some people and a serious struggle for others? I find myself questioning what I really want to do with my life after completing school. I’ve been pursuing a bachelor’s in psychology for the last 4 and a half years and will finally achieve that this December. I had a vague goal of what I wanted to do once, but then lost interest and couldn’t find anything else I’d even want to do. I feel like we all go through an endless cycle of growing up, going to, school, either continuing our education or finding a job right out of high school. But for those who choose to continue their education, they typically have a goal in mind. Either this or they were forced to go to college because of their parents. But after we graduate, many find a job and just work whether they like it or not. This is my problem, for a very long time I didn’t know what to do with my psychology degree anymore. I know I wanted to help others, but at the same time I struggle with anxiety and not wanting to be surrounded by people. I want a simple job that allows me to be behind the scenes yet I still want to do a lot and be a part of something or a group that would find it difficult to let me go because I’m so good at my job. Whatever job that could be.
