I would estimate that I make decisions with my gut about 90% of the time. My gut is correct in almost every single circumstance, negative or positive. I just know things without having to use my senses.
And when it comes to things like what career I want to go into, or whether or not I'll have a family, or which graduate program to select... I still trust my heart above all else.
I got an anonymous comment the other night complaining about how much I talk about my summer job. "Don't you think about anything else?"
The answer to that is: rarely.
The positions I've held over the summer are more than just "jobs" to me. They represent the solidification of my goals and aspirations for life, not just for the time being. Without these opportunities I still would be unsure of which direction my life was taking. This "job" has introduced me to an incredible group of leaders, opened my eyes to explore different career options, and has strengthened my own leadership abilities.
So is it worth me updating people on how much I love it and how important it is to me? I'd say yes.
I just know.
It's an exciting and scary time because for the longest time I've had no idea what I've wanted to do, and the answer has come to me over the course of the past few weeks. I almost started crying last night because I'm so overwhelmed by gratitude by the wealth of knowledge I've been able to attain over the past month and a half. It represents more than just a paycheck. It's actually tangible and fulfilling work to see that I have the potential to inspire students to be the best they can be.
And I just know. Student affairs is it.
