If the horribly misspelled title doesn't give it away, graduation is close. Really close. As in this time next week my bachelor's degree shall be conferred upon me.
Holy shit.
Literally since I was about five years old, college was this mystical place, where people came out smarter, and were capable of being future champions of society. I have literally dreamed of this for the past 20 years.
Now what?
That's the grand question now: now what do I do? My original plans have been squashed, so now I am back at square one, like most other college grads. Except I have one advantage, and that's having a job. That pays my bills. Sure, it's not what I studied for whatsoever, but at least I'm in a better position than most other college graduates. And it pays for my increased food costs, now that I can't eat gluten anymore.
Yeah, that happened. If I eat gluten you'd see me keel over as if I was a guy who just got a soccer ball to the crotch. And pretty quickly too.
At least I still have dairy. If I couldn't have dairy, I'd end it. I love cheese and ice cream too much.
But I massively digress. I graduate in a week, and I'm trying to find greater life goals, since my main one is now accomplished. Four years of overloading classes and working 3 to 4 jobs a semester are done.
Now I'll have free time. Which could be good or bad. All I know is that I can finally read for fun again. Which will be nice. And I'll finally read the books professors assigned for reading and enjoy it.
If any of them happen to be reading this: I'm sorry, but you assigned it, which means you forced it upon me. I'll retain enough to get me through class, that's it. Now I'll actually care. Sorry, tis the way of the world.
Besides reading, I know I should get a social life. Or maybe travel more internationally. There's really nothing to hold me back, and I enjoyed my solo trip to Florida immensely. So maybe another solo trip in the next six months?
You never know.
Anyway, I have been procrastinating a paper on the comparison of Maoism, Marxism and Leninism for too long. I just felt like writing again.
Have a good Saturday night.
