Okay so maybe these are really ~~obviously and~~ dumb questions, but how do people pick majors? How do you decide what you want to do with the rest of your life? And how do you do that here? With all the inpredictability, how do you figure that out in Vallo? How do you plan for that?

Kind of related, is anyone hiring? I think maybe a gap summer or something might help. ~~Or it won't. Maybe I'm just destined to be~~ Maybe. ~~Why does no one tell you being an adult is so hard? Or am I just really bad at everything? Can't con~~ Can't hurt, right?

	Makes sense. Glad you were able to travel and stuff at least. That's always nice. ~~If Josie comes back, I might not~~ Yeah I guess people reinvent themselves all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It kinda was nice. I didn't do any traveling as a kid. Once I started I found I kinda liked it. Plus, I've done some interesting things. Met interesting people. That's all part of the experience, I think. Time passes, people change. It's one of the few things that stays consistent which is ironic when you think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Traveling can be fun. Where'd you go and what sorts of interesting things? I get what you mean even if I have a bit of a headache and don't want to think about the irony of it all on top of everything else. But I'm not a stranger to changing and trying. It's just that this has that whole Weight Of Importance to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I went to California and, uh, well, the place I ended up in was a little like here. Things happened pretty regularly. I got my heart stolen once. I understand that. Do you want to go to college, or do you think you have to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like literally? Probably both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They called it my heart, but I think it'd have been more accurate to call it my soul, or wherever people keep their emotions. I think it's harder to stay focused and choose a major when you think you have to. That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a lot to deal with. Maybe it's capitalism and baby boomers and all that at work telling you you have to and your worth is dependent on this stuff. So there's pressure from everywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was once I got my heart back. A lot of it I more or less packed away. None of that makes figuring out what you want to do any easier. Are you just starting college now? (Reply to this) (Parent)
