Future! *dum dum dummmmm*

Someday:)

Hello there :) Alright I'm going to be flying off to Bangkok on the 30th Nov and I'll be gone for 5 days so don't expect any posts until 4th Dec alright? Also, I understand that some of you would like me to update regularly. About that, I will try my best to do so but I cannot promise anything because I usually blog when I'm inspired by something I've seen or something I've been doing and that does not happen very often :b But I'll give you my word that I'll try my hardest.

Let us begin!

So, as most of you may know I'm done with my high school life (sigh) and I'm going to college soon. Many of you may have not gone through this stage yet and some of you may be way past it. When you come to this point of time, you're usually wondering what I want do I want to study? What do I want to be? Where do I want to study? Etc.

And that's what I'm going through right now, I have a lot of tough decisions to make. You see, I really want to study marine biology and this "major" is not very well-known in this country and then career opportunities come into play blah blah blah. A lot of people ask me what I want to do and when I tell them "Oh I wanna do marine biology". Some of them may respond like "What...?" "Isn't it more of a hobby?" OR "It totally suits you!""Go for it!" I have all these people encouraging me and at the same time discouraging me so honestly, it messes up my decision all the time. To be fair, I did research on other majors but in the end, I cannot see myself doing anything else except marine biology (Although some job test said I should be a coach, haha) So, I guess I'm going ahead with marine biology guys. But I want you to remember that whatever you want to do, it is entirely up to you. Do not let anyone affect your decision because it is YOUR life. This is your future we're speaking of and not theirs. ok?

To some of the younger ones or some who have not decided on what to do, seriously, don't rush it. Older people would be like,"You should have an ambition at this age" blah blah blah. Forget about them, there is really no rush on what you should decide on what you really want to study. If you really have no clue on what to do, you should keep your options wide open and don't close any doors yet until you are so damn sure that you don't want to go on that route. Even so, the most important thing is even though you have no idea what you want to be, you must have that passion or drive to push you. Don't be like, "Oh I don't know what I want to do, never mind, I'll find out but in the mean time, imma just sit here and rot." If you do that, you are never going to find out what you want to pursue because you're not getting off your ass to learn new things. Always have the drive to learn new things, and when you learn a lot, you'll find out what you really want to do in the end. Especially the younger ones, don't get your knickers in a twist about it but remember to have the drive to keep learning new things. When the time comes, you better make damn sure you do all your research, ask around about the university programmes, talk to people. It'll help:)

I know we're all afraid to make the wrong decisions, who isn't? We're afraid of anything we have no control over and in this case, it is our future. But I always believe that everything happens for a reason. In the end, no matter what route you take, I'm sure things will turn out okay. You may not turn out to be the MOST SUCCESSFUL or the RICHEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD but that's okay, because there's so many other things to be grateful for. We have a roof above our heads, food to eat, people that love you and education. Always be thankful for those things in your life and don't take it for granted, some people don't have that chance. 

Oh, if you want to just have a little fun about knowing what career suits you, go to this website:

Best of luck to all of you in your future undertakings:)
