What next?????

What next??? this question first starts looming  in front of you when you are in high school 10th grade .people start asking which stream are you going to take up is it gonna be science or commerce or maybe humanities . When you tell them haven’t thought about it they say you better figure it out you’re already 16 then when you finally give them an answer that shuts them up for a while. When you are done with 12th grade rather are about to finish 12th grade the question pops up yet again what next???? what are you gonna get into? some  professional course or graduation degree ? a pass course or maybe  a more generic course they wont rest till you give them an answer ok suppose you told them your after school goals they are gonna digest that for a while and then by the time you are done with graduation they ask again What next??? a job or a masters degree?? Omg!!!! they never seem to stop asking do they and trust me they never will and just in case someone is confused with regards to who they is its the society! people yup all those friends and the neighbors who wont call to wish you on your birthdays but would be the first to ask about what your score is when they come to know class 12 results are out

But you know what don’t let this ‘what next’ bother you because it does you no good at all. I let it affect me when i was about to finish 12th grade and everyone around me started asking about what do i wanna do next although i still hadn’t figured it out. so i started avoiding family gatherings and social outings because i didn’t have an answer to their infamous ‘what next’ .but now that i am in college i finally did figure what was my calling that i realize i really didn’t have to answer them or even try to dodge them after all its my life and it has to be my choice why should i attach too much importance to people who will never stop asking” hey you’re done with this so what’s the plan now ???”

Understand that its your life and you are allowed to set the pace when you’re at some crossroads in life and you don’t know what next to do  maybe you don’t have to answer right away you have the right to relax sit back introspect read a book learn to cook do whatever you love to do before arriving at the answer

so take charge of your life and the next time someone asks what next and even if you haven’t figured it out yet just tell “chill i have it all worked out what about you! What next???”
