Lack of experience/ thoughts

Truly I’m not really sure what to write about here. I’ve seen so many amazing women write about there amazing experiences of getting through college, having/starting jobs, and there lives as parents. Speaking for myself I don’t have very much to go off of. 3 months ago I moved out of my parents home in order start a life of my own. It was difficult and although I deeply love them, it was like a dog being tied to a pole only being able to go so far. I now live with my boyfriend and our dog Buster who basically takes up most of my day. I’m a college student studying psychology. I was really interested in this after my dad pasted from dementia ( that in itself is a long story) but it caused me to want to help others a lot. College has been pretty great! It’s provided me with a job and good acquaintances. However, due to COVID I can’t really go out anywhere. So I just eat, sleep, cook, clean, work, take care of my dog and repeat. At least till school returns on the 22nd. Funny thing is I’m one of those people that even if I did have access to going out freely there’s nothing I can think of that interest me. Walks are life of course , malls are cool, and I enjoy visiting family when I can but it all comes back to me sitting at home alone till my boyfriend returns. This isn’t to complain of make my life sound as if it’s horribly depressing. I’m very blessed and very fortunate. I just sometimes wonder if anyone else feels like this. This is just simply to tell you some of my life because I really have nothing else to share that I feel would be beneficial to anyone. However, I appreciate anyone who took the time to read. I know it’s most likely boring hence why I put it under other but I treasure anyone that has the same problem with trying to come up with things to write but put it out there anyway because ... why not. Thank you for reading!

Marketable choice, the Criminal Justice field. There is a university in Texas, Sam Houston State University, they’re known for their program in CJ, they have a great PhD. Program too. The main office for the state prison system is in the same town, Huntsville, Texas. There are always jobs in the prison system and jobs for parole officers too. One of the prisons in Huntsville hires certified teachers as well. If you need information on CJ, let me know. I can get you information and contacts at the university. Good luck with your choices and your new life away from home. I wish you the best.

Hello, Ruth. I am glad to read you made the move to step out on your own and build your life. You’re still in college and majoring in psychology, do you plan on getting an advanced degree too? There are several different fields you would be able to work in with a Master’s degree. Society in general is more open to mental health issues than it has ever been in the past. I believe a new area will be opening up as well. If you keep abreast of the national news, there is talk of having professionals take over some aspects of intervention the public feels law enforcement has not been trained to do. It would be excellent to get in on the ground floor, so to speak, helping those on the street with mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse and so on. If you are interested in the education field, every school has a counselor. Who knows, you may decide to hang a sign and open your own business.

First, thank you so much for replying I didn’t think anyone was planning to. I have lots of plans, my ideal plan currently is to get my bachelors in psychology and my minor in criminal justice. After that I would like to hold a job as maybe a parole officer or a juvenile officer while I work on a masters in psychology. I would also like some nursing experience as well. I feel there’s so much someone can do and so I’m interested to embark on as much as I can. Again thank you so much for even writing I really appreciate it a lot.
