Warning- I'm afraid I'm about to sound like a total jackass.
I've been having trouble deciding what to do with the next 2 years of my life. This is normally not a problem for college students, you eithier push on through school or go work, but I have the unfortunate blessing of an alternative oppurtunity. I have the potential to take a semester off and then take an extra semester to graduate. While this sounds like a lot of fun, I can't shake the feeling that 1.) I'm being totally worthless by taking a semester off, 2.) that I'll never want to go back to school (or at least Mudd) and 3.) I'll never be able to be on the starting football team. On top of this I can't decide if I want to play ball again anyways. I don't see how I could turn down the oppurtunity to be a starting player in college, but that is by no means a sure thing (esp. because right now I haven't lifted anywhere near what I should have) and I don't think I could stand being sidelined by a freshman. On top of all of this I feel like a total putz because THESE ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE. I've spent a ton of time worrying about these desicions, and the fact is that I'm presented with many "good" options. Pretty much the only thing I lose by picking any one of these is the other options, and for some reason this is a harder desicion for me than any other I have had.
Any comments?
