Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming. The pressure to make sure you are using all of your time to the best of your ability, and squeezing every last drop of "usefulness" out of college. And you question your major, and your activities. You question if you actually are a right for your internship, and if what you're doing is enough to benefit you later in life.
College is not about specializing in a specific field. It's not about laying out the stepping stones to make life easier following graduation. It's about learning a bit on how to live the best life you can. How to make the most out of the day for yourself - be it through your work, your relationships, your alone time. College is about learning how to understand and to think - inside and outside the classroom.
As long as you are working for something, then you are helping yourself. That learning happens everywhere. College is just a place where you can learn with lots of other people. Is it worth the money? As long as you believe it is, then yes it is. Is your major worth it? As long as you're enjoying parts of it; as long as you are learning more than just about your major, then yes it is.
Thank you again, Anne, for giving me perspective again. And hopefully giving you some perspective too.
