[...] Posting a little something each day has been a bit challenging. Today’s theme is a huge challenge for me since I can’t even put two thoughts together before 10 am. By the time I think about the challenge it is after 12 and wouldn’t be accurate so I found something that fit it perfectly on another blog post “Are you a Morning or Evening Person?” [...]

Comment on My Top Three Prime Time, Career Themed TV Shows by Ashley Nguyen

The thumbnail of the show Glee instantly caught my attention. I’m a fellow Gleek as well and was really excited to read this blog about it!
I love the episode where New Directions goes to New York where Rachel and Kurt bond over their fantasies of performing on broadway. Watching how certain they were of where they wanted to go in life actually made me a bit jealous. I wish I was as passionate about something as they are about singing.
Also, I was surprised to read what you wrote about Emma. I always loved her character and found her extremely helpful on the show. But then again, what do I know about career counseling? Haha. What are the things she should be doing instead of handing out brochures?

Comment on Top Decision Making Tips for Figuring Out a College Major and Career Path by Ashley Nguyen

Though the post has some great advice, I think the fact that the advice appeals to me so much actually makes me more worried about my future. I want to choose a major that can fulfill each and every one of those bullet points. However, I don’t know if that major exists. How do I know what I will want in the long-run? What if the things I’m passionate about cannot give me financial security, or does not offer many job possibilities once I’m out of school. Would it be a mistake to choose a career path focusing more on the financial security it can give me than the happiness and pleasure?

There are definitely things that I enjoy doing and have thought about pursuing such as journalism and fashion design. However, I can’t bring myself to choose one and commit to it by declaring it as my major. And even if I did choose one of the two, after getting advice from my family and friends, I end up feeling a little more discouraged than I was before because they bring up valid points about how my candidates may not be something realistic or something I’d be interested in doing in the long-run. Thus, leading me back to square one: finding something that interests me. It’s only my first quarter at Foothill College, so I still have a bit more time to take more classes and see what I may be interested in. However, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to find anything that I would want to do as a career.

Overall, I think my problem is that I’m having a hard to accepting that once I declare a major, it could change. I really don’t want to waste my time. I want to begin my job and my life as soon as possible, and that’s why I want to pick the right major the first time around. I think changing my outlook may be one of the first things on my to-do list. Thanks for the advice, Andy.

I don’t take enough breaks, but I do tend to over-sleep. I think there is a correlation with my over-sleeping and not scheduling breaks. hadn’t really considered scheduling breaks before reading this article, so thank you!

I am going to try this!

I like that the steps suggested can be easily implemented in daily life, yet often many of us forget them, or are (as mentioned) out of practice.
