“All my life I thought I wanted to be a doctor, just like
my parents. But now that I finally have to choose a major, I’m realizing
that I’m not sure what I want anymore. I’m interested in a lot of things,
but nothing in particular stands out for me. My friends seem to know exactly what they want to do,
and it makes me feel panicky. Why haven’t I figured it all out yet? Is there something wrong
with me? Can I talk through my worries with someone at SCRS?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- Help you talk through your concerns about taking a path that’s different from what’s been expected of you
- Help you realize that it’s normal not to know exactly what you want to do with your life at this stage
- Provide you with support while you try to figure out where your interests really lie
DISCLAIMER: None of the vignettes are based on actual University of Chicago students or
specific incidents. The vignettes suggest possible scenarios but do not
represent any particular University students. The SCRS maintains a strict
confidentiality policy that is outlined our Policies section.
