Thoughts of a Confused College Senior.

I still have so much living to do! This is the very thought that has been in my mind for the last week. I have had a few conversations with people this week and the more I talk about my future, the more I see of what oppurtunities are out there. I have just been told about a website called www.idealist.org and this is website about a non porfit organization in the states where people are given the chance to make a difference. Yes, the phrase "make a difference" sounds pretty cheesy but that is exactly why I am pursuing a career in- making a difference. I haven't fully understood everything about the website and specifically WHAT I would be signing up for if I did, but that is what is so exciting. These are just ideas that I have been having. I have also been looking into joining Americorps. This is also an organization that helps communities in need. These are just a couple of things I have looked up. Im not sure how certain I am about signing up to any of these options anytime soon, but hey, at least my mind is being creative with ideas for my future- and it's terrifying! And exciting all at the same time.

Am I just getting ahead of myself? Am I just going through a phase or a "mood" about all of this excitement? Maybe- but oh well. I have realized that I have not done as much living as I was aware of. I have have not traveled much. I have never fully lived on my own. I don't even keep track of my checkbook! I still have plenty of living and brainstorming to do about life and I'm just living it one day at a time. Life is so unpredictable and it never stops being unpredictable. Heck, I thought my life would be pretty different by this time a year ago- but hey, things happen.  Goodness, maybe this time by next week, I'll be thinking about joining the Navy and becoming a nurse or something (no way in heck that will be happening, but you get my drift). So for now, I'm going to keep googeling online and praying for oppurtunities for my future.

Now, I wonder what is life like in Canada, or Ireland.... or how about Arkansas?...
