I am not ready for college.

I am not ready to make decisions that could effect my...my...FUTURE. (eep!)

Like, what's my major? I have no idea. It changes every second.

It should be my passion, right, but what's my passion? It should be related to my career right, but what do I want to do for a living?

(The respective answers to both questions are: lazing around, writing, making up stories, traveling, ART, starting revolutions, helping people, entertaining people.)

So I should be a muppet-master.

As you can see I am very good at decision-making. Just today I made a decision about college.

I was really, really stuck about my frosh schedule.

Should I go hardcore premed and take Chem, Calc, Writing, and some Lit class (all four fulfill premed requirements)? Or should I be even more hardcore and take Chem, Calc, Writing, and advanced Italian (to get out of my language requirement; Italian's harder than Lit)? Or should I be less hardcore and take Chem, Calc, Writing, and Chinese? Or scratch the Chinese, take Japanese? Or scratch the Japanese, take a truly useful language, Spanish (because UCLA Med School strongly recommends it)? Or scratch Spanish (I flunked it repeatedly throughout middle school), French? (It's a beautiful language, at least on paper.)

Or, should I take Chem, Writing, and Intensive Chinese? Or Chem, Writing, and Intensive Japanese? Because it's frosh year and I don't want my ill-adjusted frosh-ness to show by screwing up my precious PRE-MED CLASSES!!!

If you read that and are not crazy yet.

You.

Are.

Superman.

So I sat there and let my fingers take over. They automatically dropped Calc and Lit for Intensive Japanese and all of a sudden I was overwhelmed by this deep feeling of contentment I hadn't felt when I first looked at my Chem, Calc, Writing, Lit schedule.

That's how I decided that I had made the right decisions.

It really is very simple. 

All the time I was asking my sister over and over again, "Should I take Chinese or Japanese?" even though she kept insisting "Chinese"--I can't believe I didn't realize it was because I wanted to take Japanese.

Find what you want and give in to it.

That's how to make decisions.

Not necessarily good decisions, per se, but certainly ones you will feel good about. Isn't that good enough?
