When you get into your car in the morning, you know the destination you’re driving to, right? If there happens to be a road block as you’re driving, you will need to take a detour But since you know your destination, you’ll be able to get where you’re going even if you have to go a different way. Going to college is very much like driving your car. Some of you know the eventual destination you want to get to and you have a path you can take to get to where you want to go. But just like driving without a destination, going to college without a goal means it will take you longer to go where you aren’t sure you wanted to go.
