You have to believe "This'll be my year."

I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my future - engineering could be nice. Writing could be nice. Web design could be nice. Hell, selling my own beauty products online could be nice. The point is, I have a lot of options I want to explore, and I've been trying to come up with the best compromise of them, until I have a better idea of what I want.

UF will allow you to defer admission for one year without having to reapply. I think that's what I'm going to do. Then I'll have a year to work and build up some cash, try my hand at writing for real, and see if the engineering world is where I want a career. It's the most appealing option to me, at this point, but I'm a little afraid of disappointing people.

I just want to be me, you know? And I know the engineer is a huge part of me, but I'm not sure if I want it to be the career part just yet.
