Scintillating Shampoo Shopping

So I have come to the recent realization that I am an incredibly inefficient decision maker (however, as I am sure you noticed by “ incredibly inefficient” and “recent realization”, I am an impressive illiterater) .

I know what you’re thinking, " Jessica, how is it possible that you JUST realized this, I’m pretty sure you’ve been like this your whole life"

But here's the thing, I was never allowed to learn this because my Father on the other hand is an incredibly efficient everything doer. Therefore, when I was allowed to pick out one candy or one shirt or whatever, I was allotted a certain amount of time ( probably like 30 seconds or so)

Alas, my indecision was never indulged, however, now that I have to make real grown up decisions, without paternal presence, I realize that decision making is a weakness of mine.

FOR EXAMPLE, I spent twenty minutes in the shampoo isle this week, so many options, do I want to defrizz, moisturize, curl, straighten, exfoliate, get rid of dandruff, be extra shinny....I just don't know, and not to mention that the bottles are so pretty....

As I sat in my horrified stupor in the middle of the grocery store, this thought smacked my already overloaded intellect.

How can someone like me possibly do anything like choose a major?

I started off as a Music Major, and let me just tell you, being stuck in a room with 20 other 20 something’s attempting to sing in German I'm fairly sure is a pretty good hint of what we can expect in spirit prison.

And although I am completely opposed to practicality being a driving factor in any decision, teaching voice is just not as fiscally rewarding as one might originally suppose, not to mention I am pretty sure I am not divalicious enough for the world of Opera

Next of course was Art history, which I love, but once again, impractical, and frankly not always entirely captivating, and it just makes me want to go to Europe so much it is literally painful.

After, Communication, emphasis in Advertising, the other day I was thinking maybe I should go to med school and become a Pediatrician, or a Cardiologist. Then I thought, maybe I should take the business world by storm, or economics. After this I realized that the straightest shot to United States Presidency was majoring in Political science then going on to Law School. Then I was thinking maybe Secondary Education....? Maybe Sociology? Perhaps Calligraphy?

Anyway, after all this thinking I decided maybe I should take a year off, live in a hut on some beach somewhere, maybe move to Europe and live in a park, or a bakery…..yeah.

Although both of those plans seemed to have quite a lot of potential and validity.... I suddenly remembered that I have parents seem to have this thing about me staying in school, and not being a vagabond (preposterous, I know) so I was therefore back to square one. If anyone who happens to glance over this has any insight, feel free to inform me, because obviously, the last year of “finding myself” has only resulted in more confusion, once again, thank you for skimming this, have a nice day.
