  Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. -Scott Adams      Choosing my course for college has never been easy. I don't have a straight path I wanted to take unlike others. I can't seem to figure out what I'm supposed to take because I am confused which one is suitable for me.
