I am envious of them for having an idea of what their future looks like and having a rough plan in order to achieve what they want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I want that too. I want to know too. I know that being 100% sure of everything is not a possibility but from my point of view I see not much at all. I am going to a good school to get a good degree but after the 4 years in school then what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I am writing this blog. I want to document my experiences and my thoughts and share it online. I know I can&#8217;t be the only one who feels this way and I want to let those who feel the same that it is ok and we shall figure it out together. I want to be able to read this blog in a few years time and think to myself that I am happy that I was able to commit and learn from my past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To whoever who is reading this thank you for taking the time to do so! I appreciate it a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center alignwide wp-block-site-tagline\">It Never Hurts To
