WOW!
I can't believe that it is December 31, 2010 and that in only 3 hours and 40 minutes I will join Dick Clark in ringing in 2011! The ball will drop and a new year will begin. People everywhere will kiss, toast with champagne and throw confetti, then, new resolutions will commence.
I have been thinking about the year 2011 for a long time. I feel it necessary to finally inform you that it is the year that I will graduate from college! YES~ April 30, 2011 is the day that I have been working towards, planning for and thinking about for a VERY long time!
With that being said...now what?
I have been on the straight and narrow path my entire life. I have been in school for the past 16 years. I have been focused on graduating from college for as long as I can remember. I put all of my energy into every project, paper, test and report card, earning each and every "A". I have always known what I am going to do tomorrow. Even deciding on college proved to be easy because I was on the ~path of least resistance~. I went to the school where I could get to where I was going, the quickest.
Now, with graduation coming, I am faced with the ultimate decision:
Do I:
1) continue on this straight and narrow road:
Move out, get a job, save my $$ and work for the next 30+ years of my life?
2) Give myself the gift of adventure:
Go explore the world IE: backpack across Europe, road trip across the country, hike in the mountains, explore a rainforest...the options are endless
3) Combine and begin working towards another dream:
Move to Nashville, work while also setting out to find out if I can make it in the Country Music World, Move to California (or another coastal state) and work while I also volunteer with the marine life
I do not know the answer right now. I do know that I do not want to regret my decision. I want to be able to look back and be proud of what I did, who I am and where my decisions got me. For now, I will ponder~ but I will post when/if I make a decision.
~You don't regret the things you do...just the things you don't~
