Future as it looks to me right now
So this isn't true but I thought it would be fun to write out a future as I see it from about right now:
So after almost a year of dating something finally went horribly wrong and me and my girlfriend split. Depression settled in as I realized that most of my friends are gone or are about to graduate. So feeling rather depressed my grades slowly began to fall. No matter how hard I tried it didn't bring my grades up. After about 3 weeks of this I gave up entirely. As I sat in my room trying to figure out what the heck I was gonna do with my life without so much as a deplomia, the only reasonable answer came to me. Join the Military. I'm gonna do it anyways, probably should just get it over with. After all its not like I have a bed to go home to, and I'm not one to live on the streets. So I call an old friend, and ask for a ride to the mall on a weekend. Either I get a ride there or a spend a whole day and walk there. I walk into the recruiters office I tell him my situation. Feeling rather like I would like to explore the world then sit at a desk. I sign up as a Scout. I then walk/drive back to the campus and spend the next 2 months getting into shape. Ignoring classes, still working, and just training my body and mind for the military. Around January I get on the bus and 9 weeks later I'm a soldier (rather easier then most). Soon after I'm trained to be the best dang scout in the world, I'm sent off to Iraq. There I do my job, killing when I have to, and hiding when I need to. Two years later I return to civilization. Nothing seems real to me, everyone seems fake. I laugh at those that complain about their life being hard. And laugh as the masses protest the war as I sign up for another year.....
Perhaps... ask me in January if it will happen.
