Okay I have a stupid question. Is the label "questioning" just used for when you're questioning your sexuality, or can it also be used for when you're questioning your gender identity (or both)? (I'm not questioning, I'm just curious).

Not much. I just had my wisdom teeth removed, so I’ve been stuck at home mostly. Got bedding and stuff for my college dorm today though. My mom and I went out to do that, and that’s as much of an outing as I’ve had all week.

@Crisis

Ah man I'm sorry. Wisdom teeth suck
They are demon teeth that are only there to cause pain
But that's so cool! What are you gonna study in college?

@kat_i_am

I'm going in as an english major lol
cause my plan was to be a teacher
but you know in the past year that changed
kinda wanna be an environmental scientist or engineer now
we'll see

@Crisis

Man that's so cool.
I want to study art education and become an art teacher at my middle school, in Butte, or in Colorado Springs, but I have a long way to go

I'm really scared about med school already though. It's just a lot of work and time that you have to put in, and like sure, it's really fulfilling, but it's hard to think about when you're a woman who wants a family someday. And it's also hard to deal with questions like, "oooh, what kind of doctor do you want to be?" Ummm it's astonishing that I have even made my mind up this much. I have not explored my options completely. My career aspirations range from wanting to do research to practicing otolaryngology to becoming a surgeon, so it's too early to decide what I want to do, or if I'll just call it quits and do something else (which I am terrified of, and I'm even more scared my college major will end up being something completely opposite of what I enter as.)

OH NO I GET IT TOTALLY
like when I just wanted to be a writer/author/mom/teacher english major sounded great
but uh now my plans have changed a lot
and if I wanna be an environmental engineer I have to change schools
and I'm in at my dream school, where I've wanted to go since I was a little kid
so uh
that's great
the future is scary lol

Yeah, I'd say my plans have changed a bit too already. I wanted to go to Georgia Tech for a while, because it's the best school in the state, by most standards, and is an excellent choice for aspiring scientists. I worked so hard to get in there, and then I changed my mind after I got accepted because I came to realize I would be miserable there. Then it was just such a fight to convince my parents that I'd be better off at this other private school, and my mom constantly acts like I let her down. Like every time she mentions college to a friend or family member, she has to bring up my acceptance to Tech and how the private college "wooed me." And she's already talking about how my brother can go there one day (he's 12 and has average grades, hates reading and refuses to do just about anything besides play fortnite). It's just frustrating. Sorry for ranting there.
