Try more chagrinned than offended. I know you didn't mean anything by it, so no personal offense taken.
And it sounds like you're in the same boat as I am. I'm kind of moving away from self-analysis and introspecting toward simply welcoming the experiences as they come instead of needing all the facts before I make a decision. It's really stifled me, as I suspect it might have stifled you. Analysis-paralysis, and all that, right?
I think you've got the practical side of things down pat. Yes, it's unfortunately very boring to be cut and dry like this--get a degree, get a job, make some money-- but it's a necessity. If this is not what you want to do with your life, then simply look at it as a means to an end and take the time to really figure out where you want to go and slowly start to align yourself in that direction. You don't need to live life in grand gestures and big decisions. It's the little steps that bring you joy that truly count; and the little steps that don't bring you joy, well, they don't matter. Funny that is, eh?
Anyway all of this is a freshly acquired perspective, by the by. lol. If I had known this, I would have taken this advice ages ago.
What are you looking at in terms of potential directions after you're finished with your degree?
