Undecided haiku

University of California, Berkeley Campanile /Stock PhotoDear Haikusue:

Since as long as I can remember I've known I would go to CAL for undergrad and then go on to medical school. I worked hard all through highschool, got early acceptance and have spent the last 2 1/2 years following that path. Unfortunately, now as I am a few weeks into the spring semester of my junior year I have a growing sense of dread about medical school.  I am no longer sure if I want to go, or if it was always my parents who wanted me to go. I feel like it's too late to change my major, and I have no idea what I would want to do anyway, but at the same time each day that passes I am more sure that I am on the wrong path now. I am realizing that all of the classes I actually enjoy are outside of my major.  I would love the chance to study abroad, or take a year off to travel but I don't want to put off medical school if that is where I am going to end up going.  Should I just finish my science heavy undergrad degree and then worry about it? Am I just getting cold feet because graduation is getting closer? Should I just stick it out and go forward with the plan?  I don't know what to think or do. Help!

Signed,

Undecided but already declared at CAL

Dear Undecided:

Deep breath and regroup

Study abroad sharpens mind

Not a waste of time.
