 Questions:  To spend this summer volunteering as a camp counselor with severely underprivileged children in New Orleans?  My friend said that it is "the most challenging but most rewarding thing I've ever done" and while that is a cliche I would tend to believe the truth of it when coming from her.

Pros: New Orleans would be an amazing city to spend time with.  I would be with awesome people.  I would have something to do this summer, whereas I didn't think I would.  I feel like maybe doing this would help me to grow as a person and get used to doing difficult things, and maybe have more compassion for other people.

Cons: It's quite scary.  The days are long and difficult.  New Orleans is hot as hell.  I kind of wanted to spend this summer going around and saying goodbye to people on this coast before going to San Francisco, and if I did this I would only have about a month at home but I think I could make it work.

It's really a face off between taking the easy path and doing something new.  It's scary, though, and adding the thought of moving across the country to that it's quite a bit.  Oh...graduating from college.
