Entry 2: What I Want To Do After College

     Before I decide what I want to do after college, I first have to explain what I'm expecting out of my college education. I'm definitely looking at colleges on the eastern part of the States (New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, etc.). I didn't grow up in a cold environment, but I've always loved when everything was chilly. Experiencing this new, cold environment is what I want to accomplish after and while I'm in college.
     My top colleges are Syracuse University in New York, and Boston University in Massachusetts. When I think of those states, I generally think crisp environment and big city life. One of my best friends, Emma, is already attending college at Mout Holyoke in Massachusetts, and Syracuse is about three hours away from her (by car ride). If I get into Boston University, I'll only be an hour away from her. We're thinking, if I go to Syracuse, of her driving over to me so we could both travel to New York City and shop till we drop! Some other time, I'll travel to her, and we'll go to Boston together, and, you guessed it! Shop till we drop!
     Enough about during college, let's talk about what happens after college. So after college, I'll definitely go back home to Saipan (and/or Hawaii) to visit my loved ones. Living so far away from them for four years is a whole lot of lonely! We'd probably go out, have a lot of fun. I'll see everyone so much older, I'll see my little cousins all grown up, I'll be all grown up! I'll be about 21 when I'm finished with my four-year term. HOLY COW, I'LL BE SO OLD BY THEN! I'm actually nervous and excited about college and growing up. I'm nervous because it'll be my first time on my own, and I'm not sure of what to expect, or what may go wrong. I'm excited because I actually get to experience what many believe are the best years of their lives!
     After a while with my family, I'll have to go back to the city, probably bringing my mother with me to show her around the place. She'll help me find a place to stay and stick with me until I have my shit together. Once I'm settled, she'll probably go back to Saipan (or Hawaii, wherever she is by then). I'll definitely miss her. My job will definitely be decent. I won't want to work at a McDonald's or at a Jack In The Box. Those jobs are just too degrading, no offense. I don't want to be around grumpy, sloppy people who only care about their food rather than the fact that there's a person behind the counter, and not a piece of shit. If I do get a job like that, I'd either quit due to intolerance, or I'd get fired for attacking a customer. I don't take well to rudeness and indecency.
     Anyway, there isn't really much more for me to say. I've taken a liking to yoga the past few months, and I  believe that I'll still be interested in it when I'm out of college. Perhaps I'll take that up; nothing like a spiritual voyage where I have to travel to India to find my third eye or open some hidden chakra. I just want to be able to tell people that I have an interest in yoga, and that I'm actually pretty good.
     I've recently started listing things to do on my bucket list. I'll probably get some of those done. Actually, one of the things listed down on my list is "finish college," so that'll be scratched off! Honestly, I have no idea what I'll be doing after college. College'll definitely change some of my views, so I really can't say anything now. I'll just have to wait and see, and hopefully my future will be a bright one!
