paragraph

One has to be selfish with their decisions, but cannot detach themselves from the aging of time. The future is a scary concept because every second progresses from being the future, becoming the present and then staying in the past. At an early age I discovered my passion for art. I was so distant from my future, I thought, that I could imagine myself doing this for a living without extra consequences. In second grade I constructed a model of a museum made of wood, thus instilling the idea of becoming an architect when I ‘grew up.’ It wasn’t until seventh grade did I realize that architecture is a hard job to make a living from. The forcefulness of my upcoming future damaged my dream of being an architect and made me rethink my passion altogether. That is exactly why I’m scared of the future. There is no room to make mistakes because age does not rewind and detachment is the only solution. I then shifted my medium to graphical art because those artists tend to have easier time making money than architects. Moreover, I am majoring in art at Chapman University this fall with an undeclared medium because I’m honestly scared that I will choose the wrong one. A recent survey came from Papermag.com that stated the top thirteen most useless majors one receives in college; number one on the list is Fine Arts, my major. Number four on the list is Commercial Art and Graphic Design which is more my interest now, but the future ultimately decides. Although I have to be selfish with my own happiness, the future prevents one from actually fulfilling their initial dream sometimes.
