It's a blessing.
It's a curse.
Once I graduate, I don't think I'll be able staying in one place for long... or trying to find a job, for that matter. I want to roam the planet as if it's never been traveled before. Don't get me wrong, I do plan on settling down in a general area in the future. Working in the Middle East. Getting married. Raising a family. But for those first few years after graduation, I really don't want to do anything but travel. Granted, it'll be difficult to fund these travel-dreams of mine, but anything's possible.
I want to go to Russia.
China.
India.
Cambodia.
I want to go to Finland.
Germany.
Italy.
Belarus.
I want to go to Senegal.
Namibia.
Tanzania.
Eritrea.
I want to go to Peru.
Uruguay.
Brazil.
Guyana.
I want to go to Bahrain.
Saudi Arabia.
Lebanon.
Turkey.
There's so much to see, to do... to learn.
I firmly believe in education through experience.
I mean, at this time, I am 99.5% sure I don't want to pursue another degree after I obtain my bachelor's. And honestly, if it weren't for the fact that you basically have to have at least a bachelor's degree to get a decent job in this day and age... and the fact that my parents wouldn't let me not go to college... I don't think I'd be in school. Now trust me, I love learning - and the whole concept of secondary education and such is a beautiful thing. And I'm good student, if I do say so myself. I also know that I am entirely privileged to be receiving the education that I am. I just don't think another degree will be necessary and I almost wish I didn't have to continue my education formally.
I want to learn from the world and its peoples, not an institution.
That's all.
