I want to. I'm in the process of applying. Am I really doing this? I'll be so stoked if it works out. So many options and so much freedom right now! I am loving summer in eugene, my social life and relaxing in the comfort of home and family. But I'm not getting tooo comfortable.... I will leave.
Yes I am working in a coffee shop, bussing tables and painting residential murals as a college graduate, but I know it's not forever, and I know what I want eventually. I trust myself to get myself there. Getting what I want is easy if I know the steps to get there... I just have to take them one at a time. As of graduation, everyone seems to have an opinion on how I should be living my life and what I should be doing, and I'm tired of feeling like I have to explain myself. I also catch myself comparing my life to the lives of other graduates or kids my age, but really I do know what I'm doing and have a plan and I need to remember this: don't live according to anyone else's expectations but your own.
