So hey everyone, long time since up an update, my apologies. I’ve been so busy with reading, writing, and working but now I finally have a little bit of free time. I hope everyone is enjoying this change in weather, I know I am. MORE TO COME ABOUT THE FALL TIME IN NEW PALTZ SOOON!

Although the weather is nice that’s not the reason I’m writing. In my junior year here, I’ve finally reached a crossroad. I don’t know HOW I thought of this this weekend but basically I changed my mind on what “I want to be when I grow up”. Since High school I knew I wanted to be a Guidance Counselor and I don’t even really know why. I had an awesome guidance counselor so she definitely inspired me, but I’ve always liked classes, and making schedules and all of that stuff so I thought it would be the perfect career for me, and I still do. However, this weekend I decided I want to get my PhD. That’s right, that’s Dr. Kevin McSherry! That sounds so weird, I can’t even imagine that but I kind of can and I think it would be really great to have it.

Since taking a whole bunch of classes here about therapy and counseling, I’ve decided that I want to explore the Clinical route instead of School counseling. But then again I don’t know because I’ve ALWAYS wanted to be a school counselor! It’s so confusing! I feel like a senior in high school again applying for colleges. You don’t know what you want to major in, what you want to do with your life, where you want to go! So this post is for you you intelligent group of prospective New Paltz students. You’ll probably never know what you want to do, and then when you do decide, you’ll probably change your mind. And that’s okay because that’s life and we all do it. So don’t fret if you have no clue what you want to do, it’ll all work out in the end.

Even though I have no idea what I want to do right now, surprisingly I’m not worried at all. More so excited! It’s really scary to think that I might be getting my doctorate, going through even MORE schooling than I had originally planned, and write a dissertation. Yeah so I kind of don’t want to do that last part but I can do it, I hope!

That’s all of my rant for now, at least until I speak to my advisor to see what he has to say about my plans.

As you probably know from reading other blogs, this past weekend was Spirit Weekend and it was SO much fun. It reminds me so much of Field Day back in Elementary School except this time all of the Residence Halls on campus compete to see who has the most spirit. There’s field events, a scavenger hunt, a banner contest, and my favorite, THE LIP SYNC! Everything went really well and I think everyone had a lot of fun so first I wanted to thank all of the RHSA E-board for making the day go by so smoothly and second I wanted to thank everyone in the Halls who participated who made the day a blast.

Enjoy the Weekend!

Kevin!
