You can make it from 1 to 12 in about half an hour. Allow the passage of years between 12 and 13.
Medicine is out, via Catch-22; my first real life plan got killed sooner than my first real relationship. And that's saying something.
I think I'll concentrate in philosophy.
Plan A tied up loose ends with grad school and money nicely, so I'll have to sort through more of a mess to figure out how precisely I'm going to transition out of here.
I'll be doing what I've always done. I already miss the chance to do something else. Maybe I'll stay pre-med just because. We'll see.
In the end, it still comes down to me doing something. I don't know what that is yet, but I'll be damned if I don't get there.

I guess this is sort of about my life.
The fun part is that I don't have one.

"I absolutely love re-reading what I can come up with, just like dogs love eating their own shit. Maybe, if I practice enough, I could actually do something with this. Maybe one day I'll crap out diamonds."

I want to know who told you "no." As a wise woman once told me, college, especially the first year or so, is about finding out what you want to do.
Shockingly, I as the music major, think you should do what you want to do. Borrowing trouble and planning head is fun and all, but I've found it never turns out how you planned it. Also, if you major in what you want and do what you want, you will find ways of making money. You don't NEED to be a doctor to make money. There are a lot of things you can do with a philosophy degree. A philosophy degree you can get you into almost ANY program in grad school, because it is the art of thinking and contrary to popular belief being able to think logically and clearly is an excellent and highly marketable skill.
I leave you with this. I am going to support you regardless of what you choose to do. And not telling me who told you the "no" might be a good thing because I really want to slap them...
