Long time…
No real update. I’ve been terrible with this lately.
So I dropped one of my classes..philosophy on the front page. I’m thinking of dropping another one, child psychology. I’ve been wanting to stop studying psychology, but I’ve been convinced to keep with it. I was told it was a good fit for me, given everything that I’ve been through and my empathy. I’m still not entirely sure, but I’m not ready to completely give it up either. I guess we’ll see how I feel about it, but I would hate to spend money on something I’m not sure about. If I don’t do psychology, I don’t know what I would study. I kind of wish all I could do is create things like candles and soap and lotions. Maybe make quilts at some point. I think I’m more of a domestic person. And, that doesn’t mean it’s not hard work. I spent 12 hours in the kitchen a couple days ago finishing up candles, and I was on my feet for a good portion of it. My feet were sore…
Then last night I developed a fever and had the chills, throwing my blanket on and off every few seconds. I took a vitamin c supplement and I feel a lot better. I watched 12 episodes of Once Upon A Time last night..got kind of involved. Now today, I’ve been doing homework for class tonight. I have to leave in an hour and a half and I have a map to fill out and a few more things to read, but I just thought I would drop in and update on the goings on in my life… I hope everyone affected by the hurricane is safe and not too much damage..
Also, all the candles are made! Hopefully soon I’ll be able to list them on Etsy!

Maybe consider business/entrepreneurship? Then you could learn more about how to market yourself?
Why do you want to drop psychology?
Just because you had a tough upbringing doesn’t mean that is the career for you. I thought being a social worker or a drug and alcohol councilor would be good since I have experience being an addict and an abused child but it is not for me. Picking a career is hard. Think about it and don’t let others influence the decisions…or that is what I believe. I guess a career is just such a personal thing if you know what I mean?
Making a living as an artist/craftsperson is pretty difficult. As I’m sure you’ve seen from sellng your things, you don’t really get paid much for your time in the end. Yet, some people do it and are perfectly happy. Lots of choices.
There are classes designed for starting a running businesses in the Community College. Maybe be a Psychologist is not for you. It is hard trust me. I was one along with with what I still do. For 33 years I was a Psychologist.
If you think doing what your doing is what you are better for, then I would look into Business College and doing Business Courses. Bro Doc
If you make enough money with your creations, then you should do that. Have you considered selling in a fall festival with your candles and soaps?
Good luck in trying to figure out what to do degree-wise. Hell, 1.5 years after graduating with two degrees and I feel like I probably could have chosen something better because my heart isn’t exactly into accounting anymore.
The thing about earning a degree is that generally it tests your dedication to that particular subject. I do love design and even writing code and putting together webpage, but will I still love it as much once I’m done with this degree? Probably not. It’s fine though, that’s just the way this particular system works I guess. You could likely easily keep doing your side project, you seem very dedicated to that. I bet you could get into some local artist shows around where you live. You could probably also set up at the local farmer’s markets, people who go such events would really enjoy your products.
That’s right, the Firefly fan. Well, let’s see, finding a Sci-Fi Halloween card might be a task. Nope. There it is, Happy Halloween ! [Card]
