I have been so confused lately. I feel like I be pulled in to many directions for weeks now. I’m trying to think of what I want to do with the rest of my life so that by the time I (graduate)will have graduated from university next year, I had decided on a career path. When I was a teenager, I had decided that I wanted to be a news anchor, but now I don’t think I want to be on TV. What I really love is writing.
I have spent years writing short stories and newspaper articles. In fact, I (write)had written more than 100 articles by the time I entered university, so maybe I should become a journalist instead of a news anchor. I can still put my communications degree to good use!
Also, my friends (have taken up a lot of my time lately, and I be not as focused on my school and career as I should be. It will be the middle of the term two days from now, and I haven’t handed in all my assignments by then because I have been going out too often. I feel so stressed out. Maybe I need a vacation! My best friend is going on a six-week trip to Europe next month, and I’m so tempted to join her. If I have gone to Europe with her, I will have seen many countries by the time I’m 25! That would be amazing. Before I started university, I had already visited five different countries with my parents, but I have never gone to Europe. What should I do?
