I had a lecture in my psychology class in which we discussed a podcast we had to listen to, Range: Why Generalists Succeed in a Specialists’ World. We discussed the main message of the episode; there are different ways of succeeding in this world. It brought to light this societal belief that the only way to succeed in life is to know exactly what you want to do and accomplish the goal by traditional means. But in reality, people who take an unconventional path such as, working different types of jobs, traveling to new destinations, or even exploring different subjects in school, are just as likely to find their place in this world. One week later, in this family and human studies class, we discussed James Marcia’s theory of identity and its prevalence amongst those in emerging adulthood years. I could not help but link the two lectures together and find my own experience merged between the two. It was the connection between these two classes that helped me reflect on my personal journey as a college dropout in my second signature assignment.
