Working on our attitude towards Change

Go to college, find a boyfriend/girlfriend, find a good job, get married, buy a house, and start a family – that’s the “normal” plan that young adults are supposed to follow.
But more often than not, life doesn’t go according to plan.
Somehow, almost every year our lives change, whether it’s a loved one passing away, a new job, a new relationship, or moving to a different city to name a few.
For example, when I started college, I would have never imagined that I’d be working for a newspaper, if only because I wasn’t a communications major.
But when I transferred to a different university, I had the opportunity to change majors, and I enjoyed writing so I became a communications major.
Whether it’s changing schools or something bigger, what’s really important is our attitude when this sort of unexpected change happens. Do we become a victim or a victor? Victims think about what could have been if life hadn’t conspired against them.
Victors, on the other hand, try to make the most out of their new situation.
Having the attitude of a victor won’t happen overnight, but I’m trying to create a personal attitude of acceptance and steadfastness, regardless of what changes happen to me.
As a student entering my last year of college, I’m mentally preparing for the question that almost every senior faces: “What are you going to do with your life?”
The truth is, I don’t know, and I bet most adults didn’t know that they’d be at their current job when they graduated from college. 
However, if I do get that question, I know what I’m going to say: “I enjoy writing and I want to do something in that field, but I’m willing to deviate from that plan if my life changes and I find another field that I’m passionate about.”
