23- Time Travel

I have been contemplating for a while over whether or not I will study abroad at all while I am in college. For the longest time I was so afraid that I would miss out on anything going on here in Eugene, and that I would not have as much fun. I realize now how silly that sounds and that by staying here in Eugene I am missing out on the wonderful experience that I could be having abroad.
My original fear was that I would not be able to graduate on time, I am a little behind in my advertising major and a was afraid that going abroad would make me even more behind. I didn't start my major until the end of my sophomore due to the fact that I am so indecisive.
When I graduated high school I originally wanted to study architecture, but after I wasn't accepted into the architecture program here at The University of Oregon I decided I would study graphic design at Portland State University. Part of the reason I didn't want to go to the University of Oregon was because so many of the students from my high school were going here and I wanted to be different. I then realized why so many people were going here,  because it is pretty awesome. So for my sophomore year I transferred to The University of Oregon and started studying business. After nearly a year of studying business I realized it was not for me, and I needed something that was more creative, which is why I am now doing advertising. I am not 100% about what I want to do in the advertising industry, but I know that advertising is the best fit for me.
Even though I am so behind in my studies I know I would really regret not taking advantage of this time in my life where I can actually live in another country. I might have to stay in school longer if I go abroad, but it would be worth it. I'm not sure where I would go, maybe spaying or italy, but I'm sure I would be so happy I went.
