Decisions are the worst

Today's title is an homage to the fabulous 80s chick flick Girls Just Want to Have Fun. It's also exactly how I feel right now.

How do I know if I am making the right decisions? Should I be going to business school next year? Should I have applied for a master in public administration (MPA) program instead of an MBA program? Should I go to UVA-Darden? Should I have said yes to UMich-Ross? If I get off of the waitlist, should I go to Yale School of Management?

When I get like this it makes me think of The Butterfly Effect, Happenstance, and Richard Linklater's character in Slacker.* Depending on any one decision I make, I could be changing my life completely. It could be the difference between a wonderful life, a so-so life, and a pathetic one. ARghhhh. Won't someone just make the decision for me? Please?


*These links are all to Rotten Tomatoes pages. I'd like to point out that, while I love Rotten Tomatoes, sometimes the Tomatometer does not mesh with my taste. For example, the Tomatometer gives The Butterfly Effect a 33% rating, Happenstance a 65% rating, and Slacker a 83% rating. I liked the movies in the order I just listed them. Just goes to show that foreign films and indie movies often get more respect from critics than mainstream movies.
