Regret?

You know how a lot of annoying people like to say that they live life with no regrets? Okay, dumb. I believe in not sweating the small stuff, but you're going to make mistakes. BIG mistakes. And when you do, you're going to regret them. For example, changing my major from Early Childhood Education to Math Education.

Why do I regret it? Because I got scared and went with a SAFER degree program instead of sticking with the one that's going to make me happy in the end, even though it's going to be a little riskier along the way. Also, the next math class in the Early Childhood Education sequence is being taught by Dr. Sybilla Beckmann, the author of the textbook. She's amazing at what she does. The class I'm in right now was taught by her textbook, so I already feel like I've been in a class taught by her. She's worked on Sesame Street, and I just would LOVE to take this class. Bad news is, it's only open to Early Childhood Education majors.

Now, I just got back from Aderhold, and filling out a change of major form. I have to wait until that gets processed and then, hopefully, get my butt in to that class. If I can't, this will just be a hard lesson learned, I guess.

My words of wisdom, as cliche as they may be, are: "Do what makes you happy, people. Don't let ANYONE try to convince you that that isn't the 'smart' way to live your life. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. Find your bliss and follow it."
