Not for me. No way. Never. Ah hell, I've already started thinking about it. The curse of being an undergrad. <br /><br />Canadian Forces? Still the intention and I am slowly, but surely moving towards my goal of taking better care of myself and getting in shape for that. I figure a 4-5 year stint in the Canadian Forces will help give me that direction in life that so many of us undergrads lack.<br /><br />I highly recommend Australia. My cousin spent six months travelling and working around <br />Australia, and loved every minute of it. <br /><br />As for the comment about that it might not be till you're in your 30s or 40s before you have a clear direction career wise, I think that is going to become another hallmark of this generation. Our average lifespans will likely be into the 80s and 90s, so we might as well get as much out of it as possible, eh? Rather than rush to find a career in our mid to late 20s, put in our 20-30 years, and retire.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827256894744686995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699996156051897761.post-72939801074111370942009-05-26T13:01:15.248-04:002009-05-26T13:01:15.248-04:00I don't know that I've ever heard any Animal Colle...I don't know that I've ever heard any Animal Collective, come to think of it. And I saw Crossroads on TBS one day about six years ago, and reacted with exactly the combination of weirded-out and mirth that I was supposed to.<br /><br />On a side note: gGrad schools have things like "entrance requirements" that I'm not up to. Well, unless I want to go somewhere in, like, Appalachia. <br /><br />On a different side note (apparently this comment is a triangle): I might just take a holiday in Australia. I have nothing else to do with my life right now, right?Kaitlyn Kochanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786479100009809264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699996156051897761.post-91422606299985479572009-05-26T10:37:52.143-04:002009-05-26T10:37:52.143-04:00I didn't know that you had a blog, but now I do, a...I didn't know that you had a blog, but now I do, and I am pleased.<br /><br />I went to Crossroads at the movies just because my friend had free tickets, and I'm the kind of person who enjoys heckling things that 13 year-old girls like.<br /><br />I refuse to visit your John Mayer link.<br /><br />I should begin to stop beginning my sentences with "I".<br /><br />Animal Collective are good. Do you think so?<br /><br />And:<br /><br />Go to grad school. Maybe take a year off. I'm like you; I didn't feel even a tenth "grown up" when I finished my undergrad. I let myself enter the real world, I worked full time, I tried to write in my spare moments but found myself with nothing to say. Being 22? I needed experiences, as prosaic as that might sound.<br /><br />The time in between gave me some, the growing happened, and then I went overseas and there was more, despite the months spent in my red, red bedroom. It was worthwhile. And soon the Masters will be mine, all mine. And I feel better, more whole. Or getting there, at least.<br /><br />Do it.<br /><br />But give yourself some time to breathe first.<br /><br />(Go on, take a holiday in Australia.)<br /><br />And if my words don't inspire, try Jay-Z's: I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
