Many young adults my age are still much undecided about what they are going to do for a career and even further confused about when and where they are going to college. For myself, I knew I wanted to be a dietitian by 8th grade and I chose my two choice colleges by freshman year, and decided to take a year off before college in eleventh grade. I had a finalized plan for myself before this school year started. I have planned for life beyond May 2017 for years and now I am ready to live through those plans.
