The ID Speaks

Sep 16, 2005 15:59

I sometimes wish that I could drop out of college. I know, I know, getting a degree is important and my parents have time and again stressed the importance of education and structure in life but that doesn't satisfy the need that I have to leave it all behind and create my own life. I'm on a path right now to supposed "happiness" where upon earning my bachelor's degree I will be a valued asset to the working world and will hopefully get a decent paying job, have a desk and telephone and framed pictures, and then maybe I'll find an apartment around the Philadelphia area and start my adult life.
I surprise myself sometimes by the fact that I don't want that - I mean I grew up in a suburban environment, went to public school, and had the morals and good Christian values instilled into me enough times to know that I "should" be content with that life but something inside me yearns for more.

I'm at home right now for a mini-vacation and time has been passing slowly. I've been spending most of the days reading, watching free DVDs from the library, riding my bike, and enjoying my new right to (legally) drink alcohol. Yeah I'm that cool. Tomasetti OUT!
