I notice your stress and decide to share a personal anecdote to provide perspective and perhaps bring a touch of humor. When I was a freshman in university, I remember feeling exactly the same way. The variety of choices can be overwhelming. To be honest, I even experienced a moment of anxiety... I was convinced I was making the wrong decisions. But looking back, that's part of the journey. I pause, giving you a moment to reflect. I decided to embrace the uncertainty and explore different activities, organizations, and even subjects. It was during that process that I discovered my true passions and strengths.
