It's been like a year.

So, I'm back. Let's be realistic though - this will probably last for a post or two, acting as a forum by which I can feel as if there are other people out there in the world. I'll get out of my head for a day, or a week, or if I'm lucky a month, and then I'll be steadily sucked back into my academics and my jobs and everything that consumes me, ( Read more... )

I don't see why you couldn't put what you've written here about the personal meaning into your contract.

How to choose the life you want to live. No clue. I'm trying to figure that out. For you it might be wise to get your debts paid off with the job, save up, and then quit or hiatus and go traveling. I am currently working far lower paid jobs than that would be to save so I can travel. Sometimes life means compromises, which can suck.

haha, dude, you're totally not the only one trying to figure out what the fuck to do post graduation. I have ideas of plans but I don't know what I want well enough right now to choose for sure. frankly, I can't answer that and I've been trying to think it through for myself.

for me personally, my div iii is already a pretty big priority because I'm having a lot of fun with it. but you already have a few opportunities there for after-college plans: that job, and the option of just leaving behind the job and spending your savings on a few months' worth of travel. so, yeah, answer: ignore them for now and come back to the choice later when you have to make it.

hey,

you know you're blessed with a good life when you have options . what i've been figuring out in my life is that you gotta sacrifice some opportunities. i don't think anybody is gonna post here and tell you what to do with your life. but, i don't see why you can't have everything. just as long as you're happy; as long as the sacrifices you make now are worth it in the long run. happiness isn't totally determined by how much money you make. but, i believe you can travel-- in style, too-- if you have a decent income. as long as you're not miserable.

where do you want to travel?

personally, i'm working in the emergency room at UNM hospital in albuquerque. we're the #1 regional trauma center. and after seeing some of the most horrible things in the ER, and knowing that voldemort is wrong and death is not the worst thing that can happen to you, i highly respect what you're working on. we need innovations in the healthcare industry. and anybody who's spending their time and abilities to possibly improve the quality of life for a ( ... )
