Essay #3 Final Draft.

When I started college, I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I had my mind set that I was going to change the world by helping people. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I don't like people. I'm not anti-social or anything, I just can't stand unintelligent people. I've considered changing my major to Computer Information Systems, but I don't think that's the greatest idea.

When I was younger, you couldn't get me off of a computer. I was always playing some kind of game or tinkering with some other type of program. I was always good with figuring out what was wrong with computers, so my grandpa would have me take a look at his whenever it went down. Just recently, one of the computers at my grandpa's house had some really nasty viruses. The start menu and the desktop wouldn't pop up. There was this super obnoxious pop-up that would keep coming back. It was trying to sell anti-virus protection. After about an hour or so, I had the computer running like it was brand new. Over the summer I had tons of spare time. I was pretty much being a nerd and teaching myself a variety of different things. One of these subjects included c programming. I didn't finish learning all of it, but I did learn the basics.

When I first heard of the Computer Information Systems major, my first thought was "I want to do that. I could design new platforms for video games." I started thinking about it some more. I'll find myself using a program and I'll want to do something in it, but I won't be able too, or the process is too complicated to even worry about it. I think it would be awesome to design programs and make them simpler so that the average person could use it with ease.

Of course I always have my doubts. To be quite honest, I have no idea what I what to do. I would have to say that I am an overall highly cultured person, not education wise but culture wise. I've been exposed to most all walks of life. I've been rich, I've been poor. I've been the cool kid, I've been the nerd. I've been the jock, I've been the reject. You name it, I've probably been it at one point or another. This being true, I've been exposed to a variety of different subjects. I have an overall love for learning. I'm highly interested in all of the sciences, music, business, law, technology, English, foreign language and culture, and the arts. If I could find a way to incorporate all of the above, I would. To be quite honest, I don't believe anybody really knows what they want to do, they only know what they don't want to do.

I've wanted to do a huge number of things. When I was in high school, I wanted to be a high school teacher, a fashion designer, a business man, a scientist, a doctor, a disk jockey, a music producer, an aeronautical engineer, and more. I wish I could do all of these. I don't think anybody is really satisfied doing one thing. If they are, I feel sorry for that person because there is far more to life than the daily rigmarole.

I don't know what I want to do with my life. All I can really do for now is explore and figure it out. Sooner or later I'll find my niche. Sooner or later I'll find out where I'm supposed to be. Even though I have my doubts, I'll probably continue my pursuit to be a doctor. After all, this doubt could be a result of fear.

When I started college, I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I had my mind set that I was going to change the world by helping people. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I don't like people. I'm not anti-social or anything, I just can't stand unintelligent people. I've recently decided to change my major. I choose Computer Information Systems. This was probably the most logical choice for me because I've been obsessed with computers ever since I was little. I always wondered how computers work, how programs are designed, everything about them. I'd like to take this career as far as designing video games. I know, I know. I'm a huge nerd. I even like my comic books a little too much.

The Pursuit of Happiness

As a college student, most of my time is spent in class, in the library, or at my house studying. This has drastically changed my lifestyle. Many of the things I used to often are now done very little, if at all. I used to be very active and I used to have a ton of side projects, but I really don't have much time for either.

When I was younger, I would skateboard as much as I could. I would wake up in the morning, get ready, and leave to go skateboarding. I wouldn't get back until late night. Skateboarding was my life. It's all I would ever do or think about. When I wasn't skateboarding, I was watching skateboarding videos or I would try to figure out how to do new tricks. Since I started college, I rarely have time to go skateboarding. I'm always buried in books. Below is a video of me skateboarding, just a little random mix of stuff.

I also used to be very involved in music. I used to sing for several bands (at different times of course). Since I'm so busy with college, I don't have a whole lot of time to write music anymore. Sometimes my friend Derek and I will write music at his apartment in between classes, but that usually only lasts at 45 minutes at a time.

I also used to involve myself with projects. Over the summer, I was trying to increase gas mileage in cars using water, copper wire, and a vacuum hose. I also use to build a variety of things. I used to build rails and ramps for skateboarding. I find it difficult to find time for side projects anymore.

Even though I've had to give up these hobbies for the most part, I did pick up another one. Since I've been in college, I've really gotten into soccer again. I used to play when I was 14, but I quit playing then. I spend most of my free time playing soccer with the international students or with some of my other friends. It's so much fun, I can't believe I ever quit in the first place!

I really don't mind giving up these hobbies. Sure, I'd still love to do them, but I believe college is far more important. I may become a bit of a gripe at times, or I may gain a little weight from a lack of exercise, but it will be well worth it in the end. Besides, I can always find time to do these things on the weekends.
