hey everybody!!

i'm feeling a little lost as of recent. my junior year is coming around the corner, and here in the US is when we start to tour colleges and pick our majors and such. cut to me: i'm not really sure what i want to do with myself. 

i know i want simple living. nothing in a soulless office. definitely something creative. enough money to keep myself and my interests afloat. i'm a pretty spontaneous girl, and my biggest fear is getting bored with whatever i major in or work with.

i've looked at cosmetology, but the fear of getting bored with my work further encroaches >-< and on top of that, i want to go to college!! i've also taken a peek at environmental sciences, just because i have such a deep connection with nature. plus, i get to challenge myself with math and science in that field.

how can i help discover my passions and what i want to do with the rest of my life? any tips out there?

take this from a girl who has a lot of regrets on how she chose to live life, try everything and anything you think is interesting. Im stuck in a major that I hate and battling mental health issues trying to figure out how on earth ill make a living. Life goes by wayyy too fast in college and I havent done half the things ive wanted to do. pursue your passions and make sure you are having fun. life is too short to just be miserable. You still have time to figure things out, id suggest finding people that work in fields youre interested in to get more information about it. From there youll be able to better judge if it is something you want to pursue. good luck, u got this

hey, i deeply understand what you mean by this

i'm in my senior year and it feels as if for the past years i've been 
wasting my time but even now, i've got enough however it's harder
to realize what i really want to pursue, or at least have something
that drives me..

i would say just try different things? i wish there was this 
"one sentence answer" i could give you but it's pretty unrealistic.

practically, maybe try getting into creative avenues, you can start
with writing whatever comes to your mind, scribbling some pieces of art,
random things that come to mind
