Indecision (Casen Joyner Bio)

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been plagued by indecision.

It started out not being able to choose between what toy I wanted or what I wanted for dinner. As I got older, my indecisiveness only grew. It was a struggle every morning deciding what to wear. Even picking music to listen to took some serious consideration and thought. In highschool, I even struggled picking out classes I wanted to take.

After getting into UGA, I was tasked with selecting a major. All I knew at this point was that I wanted to teach in some capacity. Whether it was elementary school, high school, or even higher education I wasn’t sure. From here I did my best to use the limited decision making skills I have to narrow down what I wanted to teach. I ended up deciding that I didn’t want to teach elementary school and that I didn’t want to teach STEM, as I never really enjoyed those subjects in school.

Last semester, I landed on English as my major. I have always enjoyed reading and am a decent writer. As a result, I thought this would be something fun to continue learning about and to teach.

However, the more college courses I take the more unsure I become of my decision. There are so many amazing and fascinating things to learn about. As someone who has always enjoyed learning, this decision has been near impossible.

So here I am. Still pondering what it is I truly want to do with my life and hoping I figure it out soon.
