Back to square one—with God

My mind was churning as I contemplated and planned. What could I do next summer? It was only the fall of my sophomore year at Williams College, but I was already forecasting months ahead of time. I felt that if I was on the ball, I could do anything.
I’ve been told more than once that I over-think. Whether I’m behind the starting block at a swim meet or planning my major field of study, my mind is usually running like a faucet—and it can be hard to shut it off.
I have many academic interests, so when the college career counselor I was working with asked me what kind of internship I was looking for, I stumbled to give him an answer. “Well … I like film, and political science, and literature, and I like working with people….I can’t narrow it down!” All I really knew was that I needed to secure a summer internship by a certain date in order to apply for a competitive internship grant.
