Wanderlust
So FUCKING frustrated!!!!
I hate Texas. Hate it! Hate it! Hate it! I've been wanting to leave since my family moved here when I was 12. The weather sucks. There's no pretty landscapes or scenery of any kind. (at least to me) And there' s not a lot culture or good public transportation. Texans are addicted to their BIG ASS SUVs and TRUCKS! Needless to say, I do not enjoy living here. But I'm trapped. I wanted to go to college out of state, but I couldn't afford it. I was fine with that because I learned about BUNAC, and I figured I could work in England temporarily and maybe make some connections and possibly migrate there and live. I lurve British culture; plus, I know you don't really need a car to get about the country SO unlike the US. That was my plan for after graduation. But then the Brits changed their immigrations policies, and the blue card is no longer available. So that plan has been shattered.
Lately, I've been thinking of possibly going to Grad school in the UK, but the tuition is going to be insane. Plus, I'm an English major. There's really no need for me to go to Graduate School. I could take out thousands of dollars worth of loans, but I just don't think that it would be worth it.
Plus, recently, there's been an opening for an internship at trendy Dallas magazine called Envy. It would be a great opportunity & I would gain a lot of experience, but it's just one more thing that would keep here in Texas. Maybe I should just give up on leaving. With the economy being so bad, it kinda doesn't make sense to go anywhere else where I couldn't afford. GRRRR!!! WHY! I really wanted to start getting out in the world and experiencing things, but I may just have to save those aspirations for another time.
