So, after giving it some thought, I'm considering returning to college. However, rather than studying theatre, which is what I got my Bachelor's degree in during my undergraduate studies, I think I'll try to focus more on psychology, sociology, behavioral sciences, and possibly some form of psychiatry depending on the field I decide to go with. My goal with this will be to eventually get a doctorate or Ph. D. and get a job as a therapist. I came to this decision since I've been focusing a lot on mental health, and it has me kind of curious to learn more about it and, hopefully, be able to help others understand the importance of their own mental health. Plus, while I love theater and music, I feel like it's not exactly something I can pursue for a secure, long-term career. Maybe I could continue doing both as kind of a hobby, but I'm worried that I'd just stress myself out more if I were to try and make them my full-time job.

I'm still kind of trying to figure out which college I'd like to go to regarding pursuing a doctorate or Ph. D., though the one that's standing out to me right now is likely the same one I went to for my undergraduate degree: University of Maryland, College Park. I'll likely also need to consider finding a place to live while I'm taking classes and covering the cost of my tuition, but I'll cross those bridges when I get to them. I'm working with a job agency and my own therapist to try and help get my life in order in preparation for all this, so I'm hoping I'm able to make this work out. Wish me luck everyone!
