I’m getting just slightly ticked off at the fact that everyone I mention my potential change of major to is not being supportive or positive. Now granted, saying everyone is doing this is lying. There have been a lot of people that have been totally cool with it and go “Oh yeah, awesome!” but for those who decide to put down what I think I may want to do even when I provide legit information from government websites on the job opportunities for a French major really just piss me off. To a point, I get it, I should look into this fully. But what people don’t seem to understand is that I AM. I have this meeting with my advisor today, I’m signed up for an appointment with the campus career center tomorrow to hopefully get unbiased information when all I had the option of just going to retrieve the paper work from an office on campus.
The reason this probably affects me so much is because I’m getting frustrated with the fact that people feel the need to talk down to me as if I’m not an intelligent, responsible individual who will look at all the sides of what I’m doing. But I am those things. And for better or worse I’m also strong willed. So if you tell me, even though I’ve provided information and say this is what I want to do, that you don’t think it’s a good idea and I shouldn’t do it, and you can’t give me a solid reason that I can’t argue against, you really have nothing to say and no dictation over what I do with my time and education. I will do what I want regardless as long as it doesn’t do harm to anyone else.
Thank you for listening to my rant. It was nice to get the anger off of my chest. Wow. You can tell I’m really really opinionated… Wow. lol.
Also, you should check out this video. It's true.
