I hate thinkin' about college!!!

Growing up, it seems like everybody has always had an answer to "what do you want to be when you grow up", except me. And it's never really bothered me. At all. Well now that question has turned into "what are you going to major in" and "where are you going to go to college" and all of a sudden they have become a huge big deal.

It seems like I finally decided my answer to the "what do you want to be when you grow up" question. I wanna get into youth ministry. Done. Problem solved. Ha, no. I've been told that I can't just major in youth ministry because you can't make a living off of that. So once I figure out what I wanna do, I can't do that. Lovely! So I've come to terms that I'll probably just have to settle with early education. I think it's something I'd enjoy, but not something I'd love like youth ministry. But I guess we'll just have to see where that goes. Double Major? That's Daddy's game-plan.

Now to the "where" aspect. Originally I didn't want a big school. I was tired of being a number. There's already over 1,000 in my graduating class (well, before everybody dropped out), I don't want to just be a number. I didn't want huge classes. I ruled out colleges like A&M and UT, Tech and Baylor a long time ago. Too big.

Well, now I've fallen in love with A&M and can totally see myself there. I know people who go there, so I'd have a "security blanket" of sorts, but it's big enough to meet new people. No, I couldn't major in youth ministry or religion whatsoever, but you don't necessarily need a major in youth ministry to become a youth minister. Well, now I'm thinking I really want to do youth ministry, so maybe I should go to someplace like Centenary in Louisanna. It's small and has a youth ministry program. Or TCU. That has religious studies. Or Mary Hardin Baylor.

I'm too indecisive for this. There are too many possibilities. And the fact is, I want to be accepted into college early first semester my senior year so I don't have to worry about that too. That doesn't give me much time at all. AGHHH!!!!!
