Thanks Googley I know, I am such a perfectionist. It a hard thing to control.

Here's what I'm planning on doing - I've been keeping these two options in mind for a while, but never really know which I'd rather do. I want to major in psychology, minor in journalism. I'm being realistic here. Sure, I'd LOVE to spend my days in literary abandon, pounding out poetry and novels and getting paid for them. I'd love to be a Sylvia Plath. But I'm not. I'm not that good. So here's what I'm thinking, realistically. Maybe, somewhere, with a blessing from God, I can get into science writing. Like the kind of work you see in Psychology Today. I think it sounds fantastic. Of course, my self-doubt and motivation issues forever loom above me, but why not give it a shot? I'm not really into the common interest type of journalism, such as writing for local papers or news stations. I want to focus on psychology. And since you don't actually need to major in journalism to become one, I can save that spot for something I'd much rather study. I took psych last year in sophomore year and loved it.

I wish I had the personality and patience and all the other desirable traits required of a good therapist. I'm not putting down the practice, but I personally would make a horrible therapist. I'd be like my old T - deciding to up and switch jobs one day. I can't do that to people. So I'll save that job for those who can do it well.

I'm feeling good about this - hope the interest sticks. I don't want to abandon my writing career (duh) or my love of psychology (bigger duh). So why not combine the two, make a wish, and hope for the best? I'm looking at a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
