Back to School

I’m back at school and all moved into my new apartment with my four lovely roommates.  Senior year has begun, and it’s a little surreal.  The “Best 4 Years of My Life” are flying by at the speed of light and my future will soon be upon me.  In a few months I’ll be applying for big girl jobs.  And possibly apartment hunting.

But what do I want to do with my life?

The generic answer is that I want to be a business consultant, a wife and a mother.  But the real answer is that I just want to be happy.  I never want to stop trying new things, and I don’t want to graduate college thinking that it’s all down-hill from here.  I want to travel the world and regularly play hostess to my friends and family.  I want to live in an apartment in the city and a house in the suburbs and a tree house in Thailand.  There are a million and one things that I want to do with my life, and they all seem to contradict each other.  But that’s okay.  For the first time in my life I’m not trying to plan every detail.  I’m ready to make the most of my last year of college and to see where my journey takes me one, ten, and fifty years from now.
