Now What?

I finished!!!! Done with school!!! *celebrates*

But now what?

What do you do when your life is filled with questions and the path you so far laid out for yourself is done? How do you choose what to do next? Where do you go after self reflection reveals that you haven't really thought of everything?

Going back to the beginning I first started dietetics because of a love for food and science. One of my best friends suggested it to me and so I stuck with it because it was interesting. I love how food joins cultures, shows history, and is an experiment you can eat. I enjoyed studying and learning leading to increasing curiosity.

Which brings me to the present where I want to rip out my hair in frustration of not knowing what to do. Everything I want to do doesn't have a paycheck and everything that has a paycheck I don't want to do. I question each of the jobs I apply to thinking can I really do that? How confident am I to really make that happen? Do I have enough experience to do the job right? When you compare yourself to your peers and think about how far potentially far behind you are can you really confidently say I'll go for it anyway?

Therefore I will go back to basics. Lets see where turning back to my initial love of food and science will bring us. I think for me to fully see where I need to go I should start fresh with building a better stronger foundation.
