What are you dreading? What do you want to avoid under all circumstances?
We all have things we want to avoid: confrontations, failure, taking a risk, etc.

The next Miley Cyrus video. Robot enslavement. Ok, serious time. I'm avoiding writing a book. It's hard! But I want to do it! But it's hard! But people don't even read books anymore! But I still want to do it!What are you dreading?

People read a lot of books these days! They just won't pay for them.
Ya, people do read books (and you're right they are paying for them less). But books also have a lot of competition now from other mediums that didn't exist (or weren't that widely dispersed/abundant) not that long ago. There are a lot of people who just read online blogs, articles etc. now. People want information fast - and are adjusting to a world in which information comes at them fast from a lot of different sources. Just sitting down and reading a book? That is becoming less common - and that trend should continue.
Taking the next step in my career. While I'm happy with what I do and I'm thankful to have a job, I still think I'm vastly underpaid and under utilized. I am rarely challenged and have no mentor to make me better and push me harder and tell me to fix my ugly shit. I create something outstanding and actually think about it and work my ass off and I get the exact same feedback and copy changes as when I do it in 30 minutes and throw some clip art on that bitch. It's highly depressing and not motivating at all. I hate creating stuff I'm not 100% proud of but since the time constraints and fact that no one knows the difference anyways, I find myself delivering shitty work more and more. Staying at this job is easier than sneaking around trying to find a new one. We will see. I'll probably get super fed up one day just put in a couple days notice and leave and then I'll be forced to find a new job.
Nothing has convinced me more of the benefits of having a good mentor than my wife. She's an artist though she never did more than a few classes in college in regards to art. She befriended someone who became her mentor and over the course of a year moulded her into someone who was able to get a job at an animation studio. Finding a mentor, however, is hard. Someone needs to make an online dating-esque service for mentors.I am rarely challenged and have no mentor to make me better and push me harder and tell me to fix my ugly shit.
I would pay good money for said service.Finding a mentor, however, is hard. Someone needs to make an online dating-esque service for mentors.
Right there with you. Except I'm over utilized and underpaid as a result. My company relies on me for pretty much all of our new infrastructure projects and web solutions, and well I am paid well, I think I'm underpaid/underemployed. I love my job because "I'm a somebody there", and have job security. But I hate it because I could be working in a more glamorous industry than foreclosure solutions, and I could be making a lot more money somewhere else and not be on the fist end of other peoples hardships. Getting married and finding out my wife is pregnant recently has kind of kicked my ass into high gear. So hopefully that's the open handed slap across the face I need. Good luck, go get'em!Taking the next step in my career. While I'm happy with what I do and I'm thankful to have a job, I still think I'm vastly underpaid and under utilized.
Deciding what I'm gonna do after this semester and after I graduate. I mean I'll probably go to grad school but I'm avoiding the details.
Taking a break is fine, but it might be best to think about what kind of grad degree and what one would like to do with it, during those intervening years. It's also a good idea to stay in contact with people that could help, for example, people who might write letters of recommendation. Ideally, between undergrad and grad, one should also be compiling info on programs of interest at particular universities, etc. Of course, easier said than done.
An MFA program is probably eternally a pipe dream, but I manage to keep the option open, I think. (Well, the option minus the cost.) One day I'll convince a scholarship out of someone (probably not), get the degree, and then rest on my laurels for the rest of my life making mucho buckos off of my impeccable verse (definitely not). Dreams are good!
I'm like the opposite. I have more than a year and a half to choose my master but I'm already panicking about job prospects, even though I'm definitely top of my class. If I don't stop myself I can endlessly worry if what I'm doing now is the best I can do.
I guess that brief blurb was a tad misleading, it's not as bad as it sounds! I plan on either getting my master's in public administration or health administration. I have plenty of time before the deadlines arrive so that's not a big deal. My parents are trying to push me towards health, since their doctors, but I'm leaning towards public admm, so I'll probably choose that. As for next semester I only need 6 credits, so I just need to decide whether to pad my schedule and go full time, or find a job and go part time. I'd like to get a job and go part time, but there's a dearth of jobs in my small college town, so I'm having trouble finding one. I would go full time but I'd feel bad wasting the extra $1500 unnecessarily, and I don't wanna sit on my ass with no job and only two classes.
I am dreading the pile of work that waits for me at the end of the upcoming holidays. I want to avoid the extreme responsibility that next year will bring. I am currently avoiding reason and logic, which says I should start on the work now, and embrace the responsibility.
What am i currently avoiding? Cleaning my apartment What Am i dreading? going to the doctor to look at my arm ( hoping it's just a strain, not tendonitis) and book a meeting with a counsellor what do I want to avoid under all circumstances? tendonitis. that's why I'm dreading going to the doctor. I spend so much time trying to play bass in a healthy way, but it's just so damn big and ornery.
I'm dreading slogging through the rest of school; academia is not for me.
Lovin it delta! Rep the crew! :DD I feel that my account has been compromised by people I know, and it's stopping me from being very open. I'm in constant fear of the possibility that my privacy has been stripped away here..
Boo. Real life people? Don't judge us. We're just strangers on the internet.
